Well...maybe you have a bit more B&M experience than I....but I am telling you that WNY is not Poker Heaven. They put this Poker Room in a casino that would be considered "way off Strip" or "local" if it were in Vegas. Don't get me wrong....its a very nice Casino, and they are still developing it...but before I put a single chip on a table, I watched for about an hour. There were a PLETHORA of people in there who were either clueless, and just there to "gamble"....or VERY good actors. No understanding of blinds...or what cards are good...a nightmare for someone who only plays online, and complains of the chasers. LOL
I went to the NL table, and like I said...it looked like Doyle Brunson cloned ten times. I just watched as tons of money was flying around(the only table that had colored chips(5's and 25's)...all the rest used the Dollar chips)...and I said "Yeah Mike....you'll never sit at that table". The buy in was 100....but fuck that. So I walked around...watched the action at 10/20, 5/10, some table labeled "Full Kill"(I dunno)....and the only thing that really struck me was that nobody folded. Rivers coming with 5-6 players still in. WTF? That is way worse than online...and I have been playing a bit of .50/1 at Party Poker. So I realize that I may be in over my head(I only had about 150 with me)...but hell....I gotta play on Day One...  So I sit...a floor person gets all up in my ass with the "Can I getcha..." schpiel...and I realize it is way cool in here....they bring drinks...she got me my chips...made sure everything was ok...the staff was WAY COOL. One guy spilled a drink on another guy...and they brought him a new shirt. Yeah. Pretty cool. The Poker Director came over and introduced himself....this pretty cool guy from Reno named Michael...he and I were talking about lower limits...and his plan is to get 1/2 games goin'....but with only 20 tables, they are holding off. Judging by the crowd they had in there the past two days...the dealers were saying that they are already planning on knocking out a wall, and expanding. After two days!!! My point...I'm sitting at the table, and all I am thinking is SOLID POKER.....OHMMMM.....just play good hands....the table is full so you can wait it out and not get blinded out....and sure enough....I was up at the end. But it was a pain at times...LOL _________________ Future WSOP Bracelet holder |
