Too Wired to Sleep
I think I might be getting the hang of this whole poker thing. I'm not going to run out and throw down 25K to sit at a table in the world series just yet, but, I have won every time out the last 3 or 4 times.
It started last month when I went to one of the casinos here in the Lou with a friend who clears quite a bit each year at the tables. He called one night and got us comped for dinner, so, I sat down with a few bucks and managed to almost double my money before I decided it was time to leave.
Then I went to Philly and had to pretty much give my chips away to get out of the tournament at a decent hour. If I hadn't I might have sat there for several more hours and probably would have come in second. There was a woman there who had everyone's number but I only played about 15 hands with her so I don't know how well it would have worked out.
Tonight I went out with my cousin who is in town working and goes to the boat quite often. We sat down and, POOF, 3 hours later I am walking out with almost $200 more than I walked in with. I don't know how this is happening, cause when I used to play in a house game up in Philly, I never, ever came out ahead. Not once.
Now I have enough money to buy a t-shirt and possibly 2, yes I said 2, beverages at the DMB show tomorrow night. Oh Happy Day.

That's how they reel you in, dude! Can't you see they're leading you into a trap? Run now...
Hmmmm . . . I'm going to Tahoe tomorrow. Any tips?
Kal: If it was any other game I would agree with you. Poker, you play against other players and not the house. Altough, It is as much luck as skill and sooner or later my luck will turn the other way. Don't worry I don't plan on making it a habit.
Callie: If you are going to play poker, play only the really good hands(1 in 10 hands at most, unless the cards just keep falling in your favor). However, all this is out the door if you plan on playing no limit, it is game I have not tried yet at a casino(buy in is too high and too many people can push you around with large stacks). Iwould be a fish among sharks. I sit at the $3-$6 table and it definitely takes more luck than skill. The only no limit games i play are house games where I may walk out $20 down or pub poker where there is no real money involved. Good luck.
