[joel]

when i play poker with you guys i play purely for fun, donkeyness and everything...

i play live tables totally different.

[nature boy]

i guess it shows with your $600 win while everyone else was at best even haha.

[geForce]

Yeah, Joel really brings his A-game.

[nature boy]

i'm thinking about playing more in the casinos. not the vegas ones, just local ones.

[joel]

the 600 bucks was in part due to some decent luck as i did get some decent hands and that i didn't have to ask for a table change b/c i had plenty of gamblers at my table.

locals ones, only get decently busy on the weekends fridays and saturday nights. or if they have scheduled events like tourneys going on. the player-to-gambler ratio is much higher here than vegas it seems.

the main thing when i play live tables is i don't gamble. but for these house games, i gamble like crazy. lol

[nature boy]

yeah, i usually don't either when i play at a casino. just that bad luck creeps in and my trip kings gets beat by a turned straight.

[geForce]

I was playing some for giggles poker through a new poker app on iphone.... man, my second best hands get beat by a rivered hand way too often for it to be coincidence or luck.

[nature boy]

yeah, on my bb poker app, trips comes out about 80% of the time.

so when i was in vegas, i walked by one of those real estate kiosks. They had 1500 sq feet condos for $77k. 4000 sq feet homes for $400k. Of course these are all off the strip. On the strip, the condos were around $500k for 1000 sq feet.

[nature boy]

did you buy one?

[Wetundies]

i'm sure the agent there wished i did when i said i'll take 3.
