Guest Italian Stallion Report post Posted January 30, 2004 Casino or at home? A few weeks after turning 21, I went to Vegas for 3 days. I played Texas Holdem almost the whole time I gambled. My first hand was my luckiest all weekend. I won $455. The rest of the time I was there I managed to loose a little over $800. The casino thought I was a profitable player for them so they gave me a free buffet and a free of charge $55 room service meal one night. Other than that I played 7 card stud.

TSA09 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 Well you have "sucker" written on you. You were profitable for them, you managed to give them about $400. They gave you free stuff to keep you there and keep on playing so you would make them more money. Hopefully you took advantage of the free drinks as well, if not you really are a sucker.

You obviously dont know how a casino runs then. If Im a sucker for loosing $400 then so is 90% of the people at the casinos. Thats the trade in casinos. Casino's rank in $7 billion a year. Thats a fact. Im not a dumbass. I know what I got a free buffet. That was my first time playing in Vegas against pros. I'd like to see you do better. I was having fun with someone else's money. Theres's nothing wrong with that. I suggest you go to Vegas and see what its all about. Dont talk shit if you cant back it up with the truth and facts.

Guest Dids Report post Posted February 1, 2004 I have a weekly NL Texas Hold 'Em game, I also play online at Party Poker. So far I've been playing the .50/1.00 tables. I'll probably move up to 1/2 in a bit. I play tournaments online too- just won my first one this morning (there's a pseudo recap on my site, click Yakov to see). I've also got a friend who hosts a monthly 20$ buy-in tournament. Last time we had 27 people show up, so it pays pretty well if you can place. Dude, if you let the fact that you won 400 bucks allow you to go and drop 800- you are a fish. Playing poker games at a casino, the house only makes money on the rake (assuming you're not playing something like Let It Ride) so you're losing your money to other players, not the house. You shouldn't feel proud of losing to pros. You think about what you've done wrong to allow you to lose. I don't deny that Vegas is fun win or lose, but if you spend some time learning how to play winning cards- you'll have a lot more fun.

Guest BDC Report post Posted February 2, 2004 Nope, you don't. Sometimes you get cleaned out day 1. Oh, as for not being the sucker against pros? The fact that you won the first day and got cleaned out for double as time went by just proved it. You play against people that make poker their hobby/job/life, you ALWAYS lose in the long wrong, especially since you didn't figure out you were the mark.

You're a fucking idiot, and it's obvious YOU don't understand how casinos work. They reeled you in hook, line, and sinker and gave you some free food to celebrate taking your $400 from you, yet you think that you're not a sucker? Shit. What's it like to be you?

However, if you are playing for fun and winning is just a bonus like I do, then it worked out well for both of you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
