100+15 at the Mirage

[Nick M]

I just read the first few sentences of this, and saw you smooth called a min raise from the UTG player when you held KK. This isn't a good idea. You're letting the whole table have a go at a pot that's rightfully yours. You need to shut all those guys out. There is bound to be a guy with say 56s, or even a one gapper or two. I have no interest in letting them see a flop. If you were on the button and the CO min raised I MIGHT flat call to mix it up, once in a blue moon. But not at a BM game in vegas where I'll never see these people again for as long as I live. Even on the button I would be really scared that the BB would call the extra bet with any 2 cards that work together.

another interesting point. if this thing pays 2 spots, proper stategy would be to gamble a little to try and get chips. sooooooo here is another reason that shutting out a suited connector is important. I doubt you could rely on the theory that since we know suited connecotrs are absolute crap in SNGs, that they know this incredibly helpful piece of information, and won't play them.

You missed his reason for the flat call, and it was a very good one. He was almost certain from the first two hands that it would be reraised preflop, allowing him to shove. Which it was. Which he did. Which is a very nice play for the situation. In a more passive SNG, it would indeed be a bad play.

I would never tip a vegas dealer. That seems just dumb. They get paid a certain amount by the casino, if they don't like it they can get a different higher paying job. I don't get tipped for doing my job. I hate how everytime I go to vegas everyone is looking for a handout. In every other city I have been to, the cab drivers are greatful for a normal tip. In vegas I get yelled at if its not at least $5. Ridiculous. We need to reign in this overtipping. They get used to it and then come to expect it. If a dealer is cool and has a good personality, makes you laugh, go ahead and tip him, but if he's just doing his job, F him.

Most casinos outside of vegas split the tips (tokes) between all the dealers

In vegas most of the dealers keep their individual tips.

You get the best dealers, and the best service. This is what Vegas is known for.

Don't be a cheap [censored].. it's christmas - TIP!

I'll save my tips for the drink girls. Its not like the dealers going to stop dealing if I don't tip him. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
