Re: Mohegan Sun
No Poker Content: Last time I checked, Claridge still offered surrender on the eight deck game. Most AC casinos don't allow resplitting if your third card is the same rank.

Re: Ever feel cheated in a casino?
Yes, it's paranoia. If virtually all dealers had the card handling chops to cheat undetected, they wouldn't be risking prosecution or even working a job as tough as dealing to split winnings or...

Re: Card Protectors -- No content
I use either a chip or, if I feel the need of a little reminder of how lucky I am, the piece of a Chinese mortar round that I dug out of my leg in 1971 -- usually the chip.

Re: Poker at AC i.e 5/10
Same here. I cut my teeth on the 5-10 at the Taj and it's never been tight. Is the Borg 6-12 that much softer?

Re: Dont stay at the Ascot in AC
I've stayed in worse places than the Ascot in worse cities than AC. We even took my mother-in-law to the Ascot for her birthday. Come to think of it, that was 5 months ago and we haven't heard from...

Re: Someone asked what my cards were
I've been telling 'em "top two pair", but "Jacks" may be an even better response. For persistently annoying questioners, I usually go the "pay me off next time if you're curious" route.

Re: Shaking
The only time I notice myself shaking is when I take down my first pot of the session -- don't know why it happens, but after that, I'm steady.
I've seen guys shake when they're holding a big...

Re: New to this, please evaulate
While I agree with the other posters about your not having enough playing time to draw conclusions, I know the 4-8 at the Trop -- it's an incredibly soft game, so it wouldn't surprise me if your...

Re: Is This Normal?!!
Doesn't have to be super low limit to see behavior like this. I've seen plenty of 10-20 and even some 20-40 games in which 5 to 8 players take the flop typically. Gotta love it.

Re: Underage: Forfeit Your Chips?
The casino will not take chips that you win in a cash game -- they never belonged to the casino in the first place. They can take any jackpot money. The cops can confiscate your winnings, fine you...

A blind is a bet, even if it's a forced bet. If the old guy had made a verbal acknowledgment of his obligation to post, it's your action. If not, as seems to be the case here, you'd be acting out...

Not that I think this is the reason for the change (or that I don't think it's a stupid move), but the side benefit is that it cuts down wait times -- when people leave the game, the lists move...

Re: Was I too nice?
I couldn't agree more. If you take down a pot that you know shouldn't be yours, you're no better than the chip thieves Drew mentions in another thread. Play the game hard, but play it square.
