Posted at October 26, 2004, 10:27 am: Had a good time. The poker gods have a sense of irony. I had been having a great month online, and was up over $1000 for the month when I left for Vegas. I played 4-8 exclusively in Vegas, at the Golden Nugget, Horseshoe, and my new favorite room the Orleans. The GN has moved the poker room. It used to be spacious and nice, now it is cramped and yucky. It is right off the casino and next to the snack bar, so the jangle of the slots, smoke, and the smell of grilling food all mingle in the room. The games are decent, with lots of fish, but frankly is not a very nice place to play anymore. Not recommended. The Horseshoe is still a dump, but is an excellent place to find lots of fish, since lots of people want to play where the WSOP is held. The staff is not very friendly, and the surroundings are not the nicest, but the poker room is off by itself and away from the noise and smoke of the casino. Probably the best place to play downtown now that the GN has gone to hell. Whoever posted about the Orleans being a great room was absolutely right. It is a nice big room with a super-friendly staff, a good mix of locals and tourists, and a generous comp system. It also has one of the most interesting games I have ever seen. The 4-8 game has a 1/2 kill and a 1/2 blind stricture. What this means is that the blinds are only $1 and $2, but if you raise preflop, you raise all the way to $6. This makes a preflop raise an extremely powerful move. It also means that lots, and I mean LOTS of players limp in to see the flop for $2. It makes for sone suckouts, but also for some big pots, as the regulars seem to be used to limping in and chasing quite a bit. Also, there is no cap on raises if the game is heads-up. Very good rules for a tight aggressive player. Overall, I broke even playing poker, but had to dig myself out of a $400 hole to get there. I was cold as ice for most of the trip, not getting any playable hands, and then not making anything out of the hands I did get. I knew the cards would eventually even out, and I was right, although I did not get to stick around long enough to make any profit. Every trip has a seminal hand, and here is mine from this trip. I am in the SB and look down to see Ks7s. In the 1/2 blind structure you almost HAVE to see the flop with any hand. This hand had about 6 limpers, so I call for $1. the flop comes with 2 spades, including the Ace, giving me a nut flush draw. I check and call a bet from a wild Asian guy who has been playing tons of hands and hitting like crazy. The turn brings another spade, giving me the nuts. I check, knowing the Asian guy will raise. There are still 2 or 3 others in the pot. I check-raise, and it goes to heads up. He re-raises me, and I re-raise again. He just calls. At this point, we each have $32 in the pot. River is another spade, but no SF is possible. I bet and he just calls. I turn over K7s, and he throws down Q5s in disgust. Awesome awesome feeling to have the nuts and have the table maniac betting into you. My next trip to Vegas will be for the Bonus Whores annual event. I'll see all you whores there.Andrew26 wins pot $.95, with a Royal Flush, spades.
