Any poker players in the crowd?

[ForeverAutumn]

My brother and I occasionally drive to the casino (just over an hour's drive) to play poker for an afternoon. Today, on three...yes, three...separate hands, I got burned because someone was holding a higher kicker! Grrrrrrrrrrr. I hate when that happens! :incazzato:

C'mon. Let's hear your bad beat war stories.

Based on my empty pockets from my trip to Vegas last week, I would say no. Thought I was, but no. :idea:

[GMichael]

Are you two going to start coming over on Saturday nights?

[noddin0ff]

never played for money outside of college. my poker addiction is gpokr.com (free -- no 'e', just gpokr). You play for rank at the end of the month. Balances reset on the first of the month. You can find me as noddin0ff, of course. Say "hi"

Ha ha...last January I played in a small tournament at a Casino. Wasn't doing terribly great, but accumulated a small stack after a few rounds. I was dealt a pair of kings and hit a king on the flop. Some goofball put all his chips in with a 5-3 of clubs. I can't remember if it was the 5 or 3 he caught but it he had low pair with a low kicker. So I called. Sure enough he landed another 5 and another 3 and took all my chips. Wasn't so much that I lost, but the guy was incredibly obnoxious about it with the taunting after the fact. To make things worse...my co-worker took all his chips about 4 hands latter and ended up having such a large chip stack advantage that he just bullied his way to winning. I get teased about giving all my chips away to the drunk idiot every time we play now.

This game is maddening if you play it online. Everytime I try playing for free I always end up with a few goofball idiots who just bet like crazy with any 2 cards. The fact there's no stakes removes the incentive to play rationally. Seems the strategy is to double up early and then try, or lose a whole lot of early hands.

I play with friends every week or so, and the odd casino every now and then. I remember in 2002, a lot of casinos had limited poker tables of various games, now it's not uncommon to see several Hold'em tables. Tons of college students and young people who must make a lot more money in their jobs than I do. Everyone's an aspiring pro-poker player today.

I prefer Blackjack, in which it's easier to count cards when you're all lit up.

Ugh.....

Blackjack + alcohol = bad

I'm usually okay with just those two but throw in a hottie waitress instructed to flirt shamelessly and the results are sadly predictable.

LOL!
I learned the whole Casino gambling lesson the hard way back in college. I was in pretty bad shape before I sat down and started ordering drinks. I blew $600 at the blackjack tables in less than 2 hours - worst part is I was up a few hundred bucks at one point and could have walked away a winner. Not the worst loss in Atlantic City history, but when I was a student $600 was an aweful lot of money to me, especially later in the school year. That was suppose to be beer/food money for the rest of the weekend. I don't think I've ever felt so stupid over anything in my life. The rest of the weekend went on a credit card and I probably got squeezed another $50 taking my sweet time to pay it back that summer.


Haven't played blackjack since.

Your real problem was that you were up at one point. This is the hook that snags most gamblers. I've been lucky. Whenever I have ever gambled at a game of chance, I loose straight up, every time. Most people will win a little and loose a little. I just loose. Because of that, I've never caught the bug.
Now if you'd like to gamble on a little billiards, step on up.

I was way up in BlackJack, had a stack of chips and then some "Hooker" started hitting on me. I "let her know" I was not interested (married) and then my luck went into the crapper! Lost it all. Damn Hookers! :mad5: The wife said that's what I get for flirting with a Hooker? I could not win.:frown2:

$600... That was suppose to be beer/food money for the rest of the weekend.

How much beer can you drink?!?! :yikes:

[bobsticks]

For me it was a one-two punch. I was up about six grand (which was and is alot of money) when I allowed myself to be upsold from beer to Abso Marties by the way-too-hot-to-be-natural waitress (first moronic move). I then allow myself to be distracted by Miss Silicon Valley's eye batting (yup, second bad move). As quick as a hari-krishna can hand out flowers at the LV International the college kid dealer is gone, replaced by a guy with a pinkie ring, a medallion, and a State as prefix to his name. I was toast and toasted.

Next thing I know I'm on the sidewalk trying to figure out how to sell all the discarded porno leaflets for cab fare.



I live a lot slower these days.

Now if you'd like to gamble on a little billiards, step on up.

Can I play? I'll bring my own stick... and cash (although I doubt I'll need any) :ihih:

Oooh. A challenge! I'll referee.

[GMichael]

Oooh. A challenge! I'll referee.

And I'll do the winning. Bring all your Q's. We'll play a few Q-games while you're here.

I play online as well as Casino and private $$ tournaments. I have found that the number of bad beats you take is directly proportional to the number of bad players at the table. The higher the stakes, the fewer bad players will be at the later tables, the fewer bad beats you get. I find at final tables of $$ poker you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar bluffing, more often than you take a real bad beat from some clown going allin with nothing.

Casino games generally provide a predictable long-term advantage to the casino or "home" while offering the player the possibility of large short-term payouts. live casino money spent. You should definitely try it out! So that's why I recommend you to use pokerbroz (https://pokerbroz.com/)

I'm a poker player c:
It's my favourite gam

[Dilitor]

I suggest taking a look at exclusive slot machines from different casino provides, which I found starburst games (https://slotsspot.com/online-free-slots/starburst-slot/). I see what it could be an incredible alternative to go on ahead and begin winning. I've played on many recreations there, and I have tripled my cash inside the primary few minutes. Because of all these gambling portals which present, there has a big per cent of money return.
