Have you seen the regs in KC poker rooms? No thank you

It is a competitive advantage to roll around in pig shit and not shower for weeks.

I don't know the lingo, but this seems akin to "meet me on the other side of the glory hole."

Sometimes i wonder how these guys have so much money to burn. My favorite is watching the Asians who look like they just got off shift at Berry Plastics playing $500 hands of baccarat.

Is this gay dirty talk?

I think this thread is about 'gear'

They're going to weightlift together

How you doin??

I play 1-2 on Mondays and Saturdays about twice a month.. I like Saturdays around 11pm.. Drunk guys just giving chips away..

Where at? Around here?

1/2 is a different animal. People just refuse to 3-bet or value bet their hand.

Harrahs… Haven’t tried the one at the racetrack yet..

Nice. I've probably played with you at some point or another if you've been playing for years. If I'm at Harrahs on Saturday Night...which is rare...I'm probably that drunk guy you are talking about. Stopped coming on Saturday Nights because the place closes at like 430am and I can't play until after midnight on Saturday Nights.

Are we encouraging and condoning gambling here on CP?

THE SHAME, FOR SHAME! ROFL

This is true, but when people open to $25 in a 1-2 game a 3 bet can end up being half your stack LMAO

I used to live up at Harrahs and Ameristar in my 20s and into my early 30s up until i had kids

Yeah live 1/2 is pretty hilarious. I really don't even know how to play it well because I'm not really used to playing people like that and how passive everyone is.

When you play online with 5 pros and 1 rec all the good players are opening 2x to 2.5x max. While it is true you are more likely to play deeper live, even if you are deep you really shouldn't be opening more than 3-4x. When some old guy with a 2% range opens 14x it's just quite hilarious. Makes it a boring waiting game. I'll open to $6 at a 1/2 game and they will make fun of me thinking I'm an absolute reerun.

Poker was not meant to be played 9-handed IMO...yet anytime live they are down a player they start freaking out yelling FLOOR!!! WE NEED A PLAYER!! HELP!!!! If I get a full house I want to make sure I get paid!!!!! Then it will get down to 5 or 6 players and they will just quit and say they are bored.....even though at that time it SHOULD be the most exciting form of poker because you can play more hands and not have to sit there twiddling your thumbs for so long.

I remember playing 2/5 6-handed up at Harrahs during covid and thought it was great. But yeah, there's also nothing like opening up KK utg to $10 and getting 7 callers.
