Seattle
Are there any regular LO8 games running in/around Seattle these days? I'll be in SEA for a few days at the end of Septe
Keep an eagle eye on your bets in the pit. In the 2-3 hours I played the dealers f'd up three times. One was not paying out a bonus, others were not reading hands properly.
Sometimes this can be in your favor, but not this time. When we closed out the casino Friday night the dealer was almost asleep at the table.
true for all seattle casinos in my experience, catch the mistakes against you, be silent as they do it in your favor
last week bought in for $200 and was paid $300 in chips, right in front of the pit boss
a few months ago i had a dealer forget that ace was a soft 11 and repeatedly thought hands like A57 were busts - somehow she only managed to do this with her own cards and not with players cards

both instances are amazing lol
Little Creek 4th and 5th Saturday tournaments only ones worth playing in Puget Sound, but that drive from Seattle lmao empty your bladder before you depart.
Also wood fired pizza is ++
Flopped a steel wheel for the first time in my life LOL
And while I was out on a break someone got a royal
6/12 O8 game lasted about 12 hours. There was a list for a while; I don't understand how people put themselves on a list to play this game when they sit down with $60
There were two people that did this. #1 rebot $100 and lost it all. #2 lost it all and left
Seattle to little creek is 1hr 15 mins on weekend AM, not the worst. Pizza slices were like $5 so I passed, they did look decent.
LC really needs to implement a poker room rate
1/3 travelers who wear blazers to the cardroom, do you wear a corny jacket because that’s what people do in the distinguished UK? Or you just fancy yourself a gentleman who dresses like no one else around?
Do you report your poker winnings as federal taxable income? Obviously not right. You don’t have a job and don’t pay taxes and are on some sort of visa? Or you’re a citizen and do pay your taxes?
If someone were to ring my local 1/3 games and be on a visa and not pay their taxes, I would happily report them to ICE online.
There is no edge in limit especially after rake.
In no-limit you can do things like use position, determine your opponents range then bluff them to win big pots, over bet or get it all in over streets when you know you have the best hand, and raise enough to limit the field down to say one player rather than 3+ way where equities run close with any cards. There is no skill in limit other than some folding spots for like one bet, some small min-raise for value spots for again like one bet where it’s iffy if just calling down is -ev or not. Love the exciting reports and hotel updates but talking **** about other players losing at limit is dumb.

i am assuming this is directed at me
this is the general idea - and fact it bothers you and you find it so strange tells more about you and the locales you inhabit than it does about me as it's a pretty normal thing
but the main thing is pockets that stay upright so your bankroll is secure as you play - rather wear a blazer than have a fanny pack strapped across my chest
and lol at thinking that A) i'm not american and B) that if i were a euro 1/3 grinder from moldova that I'd choose washington state, where poker dies, as a travel destination
As someone who used to care about fashion, but who is a fan of history, the fact that blazers have been extinct as a mens wear item for probably 30+ years, is interesting.
But exist in thrift stores, and have utility:
A blazer is a distinct type of lightweight sports jacket, traditionally made of navy or striped wool or linen. It is typically characterised by metal buttons on the front and sleeves. In terms of formality within Western dress codes, a blazer has a dressier appearance than other sports jackets, yet is seen as less formal than a suit jacket.

A modern blazer lol at the price:

How would you know any this information? I actually LOL. This has to be parody
I emailed little creek about poker room rates. I doubt they'll reply

I don't recall talking ****about people losing money. I'm literally reporting what happens at the table.
Dude, I've played thousands of hours of NL. wTF are you typing at me at. I play omaha to have fun.
"There is no edge in limit especially after rake. " = making me think you're actually ret**d*d. Sure this is true at 4/8, but when you get higher (I think the threshold was easily 8/16), but 6/12 + 10/20 kill can obliterate the rake handily. "There is no skill in limit" you are out of your **ing mind
Like when I scooped two kill pots in a row for $400+. What I tipped negated the rake
anyways thanks for enjoying my posts
nice wiki link
ah, i see i've been talking about sports coats - haven't worn anything with metal buttons since high school

You should explain this to the many players who made a living at poker before the poker boom. You know, when pretty much all cash games were limit. It isn't that hard to have a huge edge in limit games. You simply lack the knowledge to understand why that can be. Please try to learn more about something before you post about it. Thanks.
"this is absolutely the first time we got a submission [from kirkland]"
bart's analysis is spot-on from a gto perspective, but he is unfamiliar with the local dynamic. there is still something to learn here.
My apologies if I was a bit aggressive in my prior post.
Interesting to hear people talking about our little poker rooms. My ADD kicked in once they started talking about the turn.
Paraphrasing: "...So you had two overcards and a nut flush draw on the flop. Ace comes on the turn, that... improves your hand, does it not?"
OP did mention tech money, but it doesn't explain how much money is splashing around. Though the immediate area around caribbean looks crappy, drive 5 minutes in any directions and the houses start going in the 1-2 mil range, easy. $300 ain't crap to these people.
Though there are some condos in the area that seem affordable, the but HOA fees are lol.
Last time I was at caribbean, a whale type guy who used to play at fortune easily donked off 1000s that night at the 1/3 game. I recognized him because he gained an easy 200+ lbs during the demic.
For Aces Lakewood, the crowd is diverse (exception: the O8 game), military, and a fair amount of kids under 21, retired people. I think the 3/5 game might be pretty good, one of the whales from that game was on a 1/3 table just totally d*cking around
5 3/5 tables at Fortune, packed list on a non-promo friday night.
Odd that the 1/3 and 3/5 have the same amount of tables. Is that normal there nowadays?

Maybe perhaps in the prehistoric area some players would fold the river to bluffs? with middle pair getting 17-1 because they didn’t know better or play hands pre like J7 and you’d outkick their top pair, or maybe the winners then were just on the right side of variance over the course of several years, like the thousands of slot and blackjack and video poker gamblers who even file taxes professionally for years until their variance evens out. Ah yes that’s what it is. You of course mention zero examples of a winning strategy in limit other than telling me to believe people can win “because they did.” Thanks for getting upset though. At least I win in this circle of anger by getting a main event champ angry.
Sounds like you are not a visa traveler from Malta and pay taxes so great, my huge bad. Definitely paying too much attention to your posts itÂ’s true. Seattle poker is def not where poker goes to die which is why IÂ’m jealous.
Yes as brought up prior by the well dressed bankroll protector, rake is something like $9 = $6 + 3 a hand at Fortune and when there is no promo during weekend evening hours, playing single raised pots at 1/3 is ridiculous with $9 taken on the flop. There has been good 3/5 action for a while there during evenings with 4-5 tables common.
For some reason a couple of players at the 1/3 nl are taking the 67 meme seriously
One guy called a four way all in for 105 or so on a A4x flop. Two ppl flopped sets, he rr'd a straight
Lady called a $60 pre flop all in with 67o.
Flopped a gutshot, got all in when the straight hit but the flush also hit
Gentleman won with J8c. He paid $60 to see the flop with those cards

I'm sorry you suck at limit and can't beat the game. But that doesn't mean the same is true for everybody else. Maybe improve your game rather than whining like a baby??
There are still limit holdem pros (ahem).
The fact that some people think it's bingo keeps the games good. And a good number of players still play J7.
I even play it occasionally myself (suited, of course). Come play bingo with me at Fortune this week!
Hey hows it going.
new to the scene and looking around WA for NLH games. it looks like theres NLH at Aces Poker in mountlake Terrace (closest one to me compared to the others)
im seeing mixed (mostly leaning towards negative though) reviews about this place. is this place worth playing at? how are the games here?
No money at NLH at Aces Poker in mountlake Terrace everyone's solid
So you're saying ppl up north at Aces aren't calling $50 pf with 67?
There was a distinct dank piss urinal smell at table 2 down south when they opened the employee doors. Service slightly improved.
Edible food at aces south:
BBQ burger
Deep fried eggrolls
The teriyaki chicken looks edible but basic AF, think microwave quality
Fries
maybe the soups?
Bahn mis might be worth a try, they seemed to be pretty big
Great link! I'm no anthropologist, but I reckon the game may be different in the south because:
- more transient population
- more diverse. military. but old money is there
- old people xposed to the above start to play fancy b/c most people are donkeys or they are bored
- more people there to play as opposed to waiting for KK+. more working class people for whom weekend poker is their night out
I'm officially wishing an FU to the 6/12 O8 game. Someone earlier posted that they regs are there to pass money to each other, until they die.
That is true; but even if there are only 3 regs on the table, the game moves so slowly they have an outsized effect.
In instance of a truly annoying old POS player, they are twice as annoying bc they have 4 cards to look at and slow the game down.
In effect, the game becomes an instance of chasing the $75 hh. Then you also have players who, despite waiting 5+ hours to join the game, refuse to buy the button and/or take the full 20 minute dinner break, which kills the game

Circuit event last month 2 guys chopped on a board 8 9 T xx both had 67 suited. I chuckled and no one else reacted.
Does anyone have any contact information for management at Fortune. They seem to do a great job of obscuring the ownership and contact info. Nothing negative, just need to get hold of someone there beyond floor staff.
