Default Re: Showing emotion when winning a pot

There is a reason I asked. Last Saturday I won $521 playing $4-$8 Hold 'Em at the Tropicana. At one point, people at the table were saying "I am staying away from him, he looks too good to be playing here.". A lot of times everyone would fold pre-flop everytime I raised and I wouldn't even see any flops. Basically I think it's hard to be like "Wow, I got lucky there." when you have over $700 on the table. This has happened several times in the last few months, so I am trying to see how I can change my table image in subtle ways.

My response in this situation:

"Sun shines on a dog's ass every now and then."

"Yeah, another $300 and I won't even be stuck anymore."

"You can't win if you don't play."

Yea, believe me, I am very low key. I hate drawing attention to myself. If it were allowed, I would take $100 off the table everytime I was up that much.

if you have that many chips in a 4/8 game, try to color up to a few green/black chips.

For some reason, the dealers at the Tropicana don't like it when you ask to color up.

I wouldn't get too excited about having alot of money on the table at the Tropicana. I just got back from Vegas and the players at the Tropicana were far and away the worst of any cardroom I played at. And I didn't have any problem when asking to color up. As an aside, I don't consider myself a very good player but the Tropicana was like shooting fish in a barrel.

I know the players are horrible. I've seen guys call with trash when the betting is capped pre-flop and after the flop. It is like shooting fish in a barrel. BTW, I never said I was excited or got carried away with winning at the Trop.

Does the Tropicana have the softest 2/4 game in AC? Is it also the softest at 3/6, 4/8 etc?

I think all the 2/4, 3/6, 4/8 games in AC are soft. You ususally find at least 7 or 8 players in a hand until the turn and 4 or 5 will see the hand until the end. This will occur even if the betting is capped. A lot of the players in AC are retirees who are all calling stations and won't fold unless the hands are complete crap. Even then, they still play the hands.
