    Thumbs up poker ?

    Anyone else a poker brat out there?
    Online players? Tournaments? Watch it? Hold Em? Omaha? Bad beats? Lets talk poker people!
    I play online sometimes...when im bored...but I mostly go to small tournaments around my area (and bank - noone ever suspects the lil blonde in the corner)
    Im seriously thinking about entering the WSOP this next time around. . .anyone ever entered? How far did you make it?

    oOo, poker.
    I have my poker people here, we used to get together and play every weekend, lately that died down because everyone's too busy. Pity, it was a pretty good way to earn some pocket money. Now I play PKR with my friend, just for fun. Hold 'em. I only play free or ridiculously small amounts, though, I'm in no position to lose big money on cards. Nor I'm that good to make a lot of money.
    Never went to a tournament, though there's a couple here going on weekly or so, I think, small ones. Will have to grab my fellow poker girlfriend and go one time.

    And I know what you mean, I loved using the innocent little smile tactics on the guys. They never suspect.

    Poker is the in thing now but Blackjack is easier and you can legally count cards and take the house! The bj dealers at Wynn dont protect their cards so you can easily beat them!

    I love BlackJack but in many ways its not "easier" than poker. Even the math geniuses who count cards never have much more than a .5% or 1% advantage, although that is pretty impressive considering the house is suppose to always have the advantage. Oh and if they really think you're counting, they'll just bounce you. Saw it happen at Bellagio once.

    Not sure what you mean by Wynn dealers "not protecting their hands", I thought the Wynn had the scanners on the table so that the dealers didnt have to look at their whole cards?

    Back to topic: I play some poker online probably a few times a week. I prefer to play live because I seem to do better, but harder to find a game. Will probably play a few tournaments next week in Vegas.

    We have a small poker league that plays every 2 weeks with a point system and the top 8 play an end of the year tourney with the winner using the prize money to enter a WSOP event. In the event of a cash, the player gets back his entry fee and the remaining money is split evenly among the 8 in the final tourney. We've had players cash each of the 3 years since we started this.

    In 2009 WSOP added a $1000 entry tourney in the first week which had over 6,000 entries. This year they had 4 or 5 $1,000 tourneys scattered throught the entire event. I always go but don't care for serious tournament poker, however the live games are ripe for picking.

    For lesser entry money, the Venetian runs Deep Stack tourneys 3 or 4 times a year that draw and pay well.

    I count cards all the time. I also only go to male dealers which helps.

    In what way at all would a male dealer help you count cards? The difference in the speed of the game between all dealers is inappreciable. Otherwise they'd be out the door.
