My first B & M Card game
Well, took $200 to Ameristar in Kansas City yesterday afternoon and tried my hand at "face-to-face" Hold'em. I played $3/$6 with a Kill (first time playing a kill game as well) and played from about 4pm to 2am and I had a great time...however....
From about 4pm to midnight, I won about 3 hands, was second best about 4 times. I was playing pretty tight, but, very few people noticed and lots called when I played & bet. I was all-in at one point at about midnight and won a $100 pot, and then I started to slowly build my stacks back. In the next two hours I had won all I lost and $60 more and called it a night...it was pretty late for me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I played less than a dozen hands in 8 hours, and saw the flop only from the blinds (not EVERY time) for most of that time. In the last two hours I started to get a hand to play about once a circuit and usually won with it. The question I have is this: Is this a normal expectation of the distribution of hands? Spyder

Re: My first B & M Card game
You either had a legend worthy run of bad cards or you were being too tight. B&M deals about 30-40 hands/hr. If you saw only 12 flops in 8 hours, well, you can do the math. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: My first B & M Card game
I had a game where I saw 4 flops in 3 hours. It happens more live than online because they deal so slow. Can't compare 20-30 hands/hr to 50-60 hands/hr x multiple tables.
It happens, but not often enough to make a man never want to play live again.

Re: My first B & M Card game
Well, I don't think I was TOO tight. I think it was a very long run of poor cards. Over the whole night I never got: AA, KK, QQ, or AKs; I got AKo about 4 times and won once with it; I got KQs about 3 times and never won with it. My biggest hand was hitting JJ for a Jacks full boat. My biggest beat was Hitting AQs for top two-pair, 3-betting before the flop, capping after the flop (AQX, no flush), catching a Jack on the turn, Bet-raise-call, blank on River, Bet-raise-call...someone had stayed in with KTo [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Late in the evening (the last two hours) my winning hands tended to be middle pairs and suited connectors...big cards were utterly worthless most of the night. Spyder

Re: My first B & M Card game
Spyder,
Do you know if they spread low level NL games at the Ameristar, or any other of the KC area casinos? Maybe 1/2 blinds or something like that. I am in Wichita and have been thinking about going up there sometime. I've never played live before either and would like to give it a shot. Sly

Re: My first B & M Card game
No....their card room is very small...maybe 20 to 25 tables. The only Hold'em games that I saw on the board were 3/6-Kill & 10/20. They also had 7 card stud and a couple other games. They had an "Interest" list where if they got enough players on the list for a game they'd start one.

Re: My first B & M Card game
i seems as though u were playing against loose players, if u were, big cards lose value while pairs and suited connectors gain value, which could explain u losing alot with big off suit cards
