Hello people,

I can't believe it's been 6 months since I have been in Vegas, and we cannot let that go on for much longer! I will fly to London on March 20th after work, relax at a hotel there overnight, and then fly direct from there to Las Vegas on Friday the 21st (just in time for March Madness).

My brother will finally join in as well; he actually has a business trip to the US coming up in a few days, so when he is done with work he is already in the country. He will also head out to Vegas on

About me: I am 35. I have an okay job that pays about $70k a year in Wisconsin. Masters degree+, veteran. I work for schools so I get my summers off. I have decided to go to WSOP this summer.

My poker story isn’t all that exciting. Played some online, played some live, always been a fan of the game. Little successes here and there but never any huge scores. Took breaks, always came back. I think Im good, but most do, and if Im being completely honest with myself I don’t have any spr

In the Professor, Banker, Suicide King Harman took on Andy Beal heads-up, coming from the cadre of elite nosebleed Vegas players. I'm curious who would fit this bill today? Robbi Jade Lew seems to be a fixture of the big LA games. Vanessa Selbt used to play nosebleed but may not anymore and is Kristen Foxen more of a cash game or tournament player?

It seems like the nosebleed games (200/400+) have shifted to private and since Bellagio/Aria don't really get over 100/200 very often, the private ga

A successful poker room is like a pyramid. That is, there are more small games than large games and the regular small stakes players tend to feed into the larger games.

However, in small limit hold 'em games, the rake is now so large, that it's very difficult to develop regular players. (Thus, you don't have the players to start games and keep games going.) This result can lead to an upside down pyramid which in turn leads to less games in the future. And the answer to this is to reduce the rake

Hey all. My name is Bryan. I am 33 yrs old & live in Tampa, Florida. I have been playing poker for about five or six yrs now. Soon after learning I became immediately consumed w all things poker - improving at the game, playing live poker (there is something different about being at an actual casino/ cardroom & playing w actual cards & chips), grinding 12 hr sessions online. I have an addictive personality & poker def became my addiction. A little over a yr ago I became a poker dealer. In the ti

Haven't posted a hand in a while, and this one might not be super insightful but was kind of amusing/exciting at the time and gives everyone a chance to say "wtf are you doing, do X on street Y 100%"

I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?

So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at low-info Boomers like my religions aunts. I have two questions:

a) Is anyone here who supports Trump bothered by lies like this?

b) Does anyone know what he's even talking about here? Like is there some grain of truth that he's embellishing on bigly?

1/2 at an American Legion hall.

Villain is the best player in our pool by a country mile. He's cashed in tournaments so prominent that he's listed on the Hendon Mob database. He's soul-read me on multiple occasions and so far as I can tell has no real holes in his game except one: he gets whiny and talks about how bad he runs (which is hilarious when he's up $500) and I think can be tilty, though most people refuse to play back at him.

That changes now.

Hello 2+2, I'm codehdn and I suck at poker, hopefully we can change that.

Background:
I first learned to play poker when I was about 7, my mom and family taught me how to play NL and we played a STT style of poker, where when you went bust you were out. Sometimes blinds would go up, othertimes not.. It was all for fun. We'd play at family events and everyone would have a good time and that all stopped around 13 or 14 and I stopped playing casually and just let poker kinda leave my mind. Well this

I woke up in the middle of choking to death again; though to be accurate, it was towards the end of the process--woke up right away in a white hot panic with black spots of permanent unconsciousness swooping in across both sides of my vision.

Calm yourself, was the first important step. My lungs were soaked, steeped in the things that belonged only in my stomach, and locked up tight. My air passage was blocked and burning with bile and hydrochloric acid. No, I don't have asthma. I have a drinking
