    Is this +EV?

    Hey guys, heres a little bit of a stats problem if you are up for it. At all the station casinos, there is a progressive bad beat jackpot (click link for the rules). Not only does the progressive amount increase over time, the qualifying hands decrease as well. As the rules show, regardless...

    Small Update

    Things have been going well living in Vegas. I got a house about 20 minutes west of the strip and I play mostly at MGM, although I have been frequenting Red Rock more, due to the recent lack of games at MGM. I have to say, that I am absolutely loving this lifestyle; playing poker, hanging out...

    Sleight going pro

    Hey everyone, I was going to delay this until a bit into my career, but recent events makes me feel more comfortable announcing it sooner, but as the name implies, I have packed up my bags and moved to Vegas to pursue a gambling career. At first, I was primarily CCing, just figuring out my...

    I cant believe I did that...

    Yesterday was the first time that I did not follow an index play and I am feeling pretty bad about it. I was playing at a store when I had a max bet out. I received 7,7 v 8. According to index sims that I ran a while back, the index for this play is +4 (Zen). The TC was around +8 so I split...

    Top Tier Players Cards

    When coming back from playing at the Cosmo, I realized that they accidentally printed my name on a top tier players card instead of where I am supposed to be. I have never used players cards to take advantage of the little perks, so I want to know, what can I use this card for without getting...

    Played my first BJ tourney...

    and lost in the first round in last place :laugh: It was a freeroll tourney, so I decided to try it out, and from what it looks like, there is a good deal of variance. Not really much to say, I read the articles on the bjt site and I guess it was just not my day. Question: Lets say for a...

    Which game is better?

    It would seem obvious that game B is the better game because of the similar WR but better SCORE (which implies less variance). Now the question is, how much of an improvement in the hands/hr would game A have to have in order to be preferable over the current game B? If using CE as the...

    Vegas NYE Deals?

    I heard that during NYE, a lot of restaurants kind of convert their space into a bar-like floor, where you can get deals like all-you-can-drink for $70. Does anyone know of something like that, where we can get a good deal for drinks? Yea yea, I know you can get free drinks at the tables; I'm...

I am going to be in Vegas with some cousins and friends for New Years Eve for 2 nights, and wanting to give a bonus Xmas gift was thinking about doing this... How effective is it and are there any differences during times like...

    Best option when you cant split aces

    I remember this being posted somewhere... What is the better option when you have AA against 5 and 6? Double or hit? Assume that we are already split to 4 hands and the casino allows double on split aces.

    Poker Diary ;tldr

    Ok, so Ive been playing poker for a long time now. It started when Moneymaker won the World Series. I would play with my friends at home and play .25/.50 games usually buying in for $20, although we would have about $100 to play with. I was also fairly into magic and I'm not gonna lie, I...

    Poker Rules of Thumb

    1. If the avatar of the other player is of a dog or a baby, they are generally fish. 2. If the handle of the other player includes fish or donk, they are generally better players (but usually not very good). I find the first one to be true almost 90% of the time (may be confirmation...

    SCORE or CE?

    There has been a lack of helpful posts lately, and I was curious as to what the rest of the CC community uses, so I decided to combine the two into a post that hopefully people will enjoy and possibly learn from. I tried to make this short(er) to make this as simple as possible for those not...
