Hi everyone,

Re: Booking a hotel in vegas....
If you want to save money, take a look at places like the Boardwalk, Imperial Palace, Barbary Coast, San Remo, etc. You will get a better rate than the poker rate at a nice hotel, and won't be...

Re: Duke grad going to deal in vegas?
I agree with DemonDeac. You will get swept around as a dealer, just like the Terps swept the Dukies this season.
But seriously, no one cares that you went to Duke, and this thread had nothing to...

Vegas buffets
I don't think we've discussed this around here in quite a while. I am heading for Vegas on Saturday morning (5th trip). I have been to the Luxor buffet (decent, but not too big) and the Imperial...

Re: 50c tips
I've only twice given $0.50 tips. The first time was my first ever experience playing poker. It was at the Excalibur. I saw many others doing this, and I didn't know any better.* The other time...

Re: Vegas roll call
I'll be there March 26 - 30. I'll be hitting the Mirage 6/12 and 10/20, and the Bellagio 8/16 (15/30 on the last day if I've done _really_ well). Also plan on spending some time getting drunk and...

Re: 37offsuit presents: You Make the Call
Is it clear which cards are MP's in the muck pile, or did he really bury them in there?
One time, I was in a hand where the other player tabled her cards, but they landed face down in the muck. ...

Re: flop/turn and river
I think you could make a case for folding on the river. If he hasn't been out-of-line yet, then what could he possibly be 3-betting with and then river-raising that you could beat? After being...

Re: How is your March?
Looks like overall, it's a good month for most of us.
I fall in the -2.5BB/100 category, unfortunately. Down about 160BB overall at 3/6. Just getting rivered like crazy. Hopefully I can build...

How is your March?
I know that in the past, there have been months where a large number of people were doing really poorly, or doing really well. Just curious how others are faring this month.

Re: need help: first vegas trip- food?
Agreed on the IP -- this is why I play my one token tournament there. It's nice to be able to grab a cookie or sandwich, and to be able to get your own cup of water or coffee.
As for the comp, I...

Re: Going on tilt the safe way
This is actually a good idea. I figure I usually blow about $100 when I go on tilt. This would be a much better way to do it.

Re: What time of day should one go fishing?
I seem to have better luck between 5-8 p.m., too (playing party 3/6). I usually get home around 6, grab a bite to eat, and sit down to play around 7. I'll knock off 60 or 90 minutes, then take a...

The rate just went up to 2.6%.
ING Direct is a real bank, and is thus FDIC insured. It is not a holding company like Neteller. This means that you get interest, and security from the federal...

Perhaps doing marketing or front office stuff for the World Poker Tour or something. But I'm guessing they aren't too big of an operation.
