First time I played at a Casino, it was pretty fun! I played $5/$10 limit..Ended up $57.50:) I hate limit, and every hand is like 6 way to the flop lol. Wish I hit one set.. The cool thing is, the casino is only 20min bike ride from my place so I can go there any time I want. There were so many different kind of poker games..including Three Card Poker which my friends liked.
Anybody else play live?

Hey Matt, I bought in for $200. The minimum buy in was $100. I was up over $300, then dropped down to to $180 then won a hand and left with $257. I missed a flush draw for a $250 pot which sucked.
ReplyDeleteHow were the electronic tables? I heard about them but I don't really like the idea. Wouldn't it be a lot similar to playing an online tournament at Full Tilt? And what was the buy-in and how did you do? And do you like playing Omaha?
Buy-in was $20 (15+5) with rebuys within the first hour I think, and yes it's very much like playing online except you can see the people you're playing. Everything is done electronically so as you can imagine there was not much talking.
ReplyDeleteI didn't expect to last long since everyone seemed to be rebuying after they got knocked out and you really don't get enough chips to make any moves. What I hated most was the structure. You get like 2000 chips but the blinds start at 50/100! And they go up I believe every 10 minutes.
I lasted a measly 50 minutes. I had a good amount of chips early especially after knocking out someone with quads in level 1 but the blinds rose up too fast, ate me up, and left me short stacked. I ended up going all-in with a set and remember the river gave the other guy a straight and I was on my way.
Omaha is not a game I'm too familiar with but I tested it out on micro stakes and it seems very swingy. But if I do, I'll only do so with a deeper stack and it would have to be full ring. I wouldn't necessarily choose to play it but if I had known the blind structure before hand I would have just saved my 20 bucks :D.
Ya, that's kind of crazy only having 20 big blinds when you start a tournament. How many players were there? My friends play a $20 rebuy tournament once a month with about 30 players. I haven't played in it yet but I want to.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever watch Gus Hansen on http://gushansentv.com/ , I like watching him play. He always plays omaha.
Hmmm the site doesn't work on my computer but I have watched him play on Full Tilt playing 6-max PLO and he is very agro.
ReplyDelete$20 buy-in at PokerStars? That sounds fun except the rebuy part haha. If you do you should make another vid that would be interesting.
BTW, if you play 1-2 hold'em you should watch out for Mr. Negreanu. He was playing $200 NLHE 6-max at PokerStars.com last night to shoot a video for PokerVT. Very entertaining especially when he won with QQ vs AA. He also chats a lot with players and observers.
