Recently with the constant Reload Bonuses and Ching Chang Chong Shiver Pandemic I have been playing more online Poker in Las Vegas Nevada.
As far as I know this is the only option for me living in Nevada but perhaps smarter members here can elaborate how to play at other sites?
I had a bit of a rough go of things as I was watching some goofy hands crush me in PLO games.
Hands where I would have 55% or more going all in pre-flop.
Not exactly unusual but watching them string together was annoying.
I found myself down 2600 dollars in the first few weeks.
Recently I had an upswing and am currently up over 3k in cash.
Some Tournaments have great overlay value getting over 200 to 1 on your dough for first place.
However, I find that most of them don't have enough value for me to fire at.
Things would be different if I had 5 or more friends on the smart phone conference call with me.
I suspect many players are already on that system.
I do find that the player pool base seems very small.
I find myself playing against the same Fish or Solid players day in and day out in the cash games.
The few cash games that they have.
IMO the 50 dollar buy in at the 25c/50c blinds are the best value and seems the only Hold'em games you can play 9 handed.
The problem, for me, is that it can become worse than a grind trying to play 4 or more windows of that game.
Of course, you all know the rage for some time has been 6 handed NL.
I remember when I first came to this town in the late 80s and early 90s all the rage was Limit Holdem and even Stud Games were going strong.
After Moneymaker that all went out the window as we know.
If you want to play limit or higher limit ring games on this site you will have to play Omaha 8 or Better.
You can consistently get a 3/6, 5/10, 10/20 and even a 15/30 game that goes regularly, with some really, horrible players.
At times you can get a good 10/20 Stud Hi Lo game going but you have to realize the game will break within about 2 hours or so.
One of the major issues I am having is sometimes the tables are bugged and you can't sit down.
Sometimes this will cause you to have to get rolled on the list.
Even deleting the program and reinstalling won't fix the bug/issue, I have found.
I noticed if you keep clicking on the sit down button it sometimes will fix the issue and you can buy in.
The software is certainly archaic and you don't have many games to choose from.
This can be good and bad but I like it because you get to know the players as you are playing against them daily.
I've also had some connection issues with tournaments where you can't connect but having a mobile backup will fix that problem.
You could also run two separate internet connections if you have that option.
Payment going in is easy and IMO the best way is at the Cage where you can be sure they will apply your reload bonus.
Reload Bonuses are weekly, this month of August, so its something to take advantage of.
As I say the biggest problem would be running into team play.
You wouldn't even need a team to whipsaw players.
They just need to know what cards are out.
As much cheating has been caught in Online Poker it is amazing they are still allowed to operate.
I read a few years ago they caught a guy with over 50 accounts that he would play under.
I, myself have done some cheating back when Online Poker first started.
One of my favorites was being able to cheat Netteller out of thousands of dollars and they couldn't do anything about it.
Fun times.
VP in Vegas is dead or just about dead.
All the progressives are usually at the bars and all those machines are shut off for now.
Nobody seems to be pushing up the Reel Progressives.
I'm not sure how you vultures are finding plays?
I can't even factor in the comp system anymore as I basically refuse to go out to dinner or get take out.
I certainly don't believe in masks and am not worrying about catching the virus but I can't bring myself to go out to dinner or eat from people handling my food.
The only things I have done is get a couple hot waters and bags of tea from Starbucks inside the Casino a couple of times.
I won't even order from the cocktail girls as I bring my own.
Ok... I usually brought my own for decades anyways
My point is how can you all be for masking up but have no problem eating out unmasked or getting to go food where 6 people touched your food?
My brother in law works for a Casino in the F&B department and they get tested everyday.
He tested positive two days in a row and is now quarantined in his house and he was cooking your food daily!
His family is all negative and he says all he has had was a slight headache so maybe the test isn't accurate enough and he is showing a false positive?
Anyways my point is I would rather cook my own food so 300 dollar Steak House Comps and All You Can Eat Buffets are gone for me.
Time to buy a Farm but have to convince the wife and it is a nightmare uprooting at this time in history.
