I am not a supertitious gambler many are some to the point of being rediculous. I am really boring purely mathamatical to my approach to gambling I have no lucky rabbits feet or things I do to try and win. I know one guy thats so hung up on good luck stuff that if the lights are all green when he is driving to the strip in the morning he is sure to win ?? or so he says. I am not at all like that there is the math and thats it. I am basically scientific and boring I like to laugh at my stiff mater of fact demeanor but I really know I am drop dead boring.
Oh well as stated I lost again no aces at O'Sheas even though I was there before Jenn the grave floor supervisor got the game open. The Colonel, Mike two times, Wilson, and Grumpy Don, all showed up to start the game. I played like a rock as always losing eight dollars even though I was up 25$ at one point I had a "Bad beat" and got rivered for an overall lose.I am playing well getting all the normal stuff with one slight exceptional exception one should recieve a pair of aces once in every 220 hands the same goes for kings yet for the last 90 hours of play I have seemingly overcompensated for all that time when I thought my rate of recieval was way above average. Well over the last three weeks those exceptional time flew out the window rudely bringing my statistics to normal in a very frustrating few weeks of poker. At eleven when the promotion was over at O'Sheas and the group migrated to Bill's I continued to get nothing losing another 22$. At Bill's unlike O'Sheas one need not have 20$ in the pot to win but only 10$ and instead of 1 to Five spread limit it is fifty cents and one dollar no limit so tactics are ajusted as well as playing styles. For instance it is stupid to buy in at Bill's for more than 20$ because if you do and you get the Aces or Kings and someone notices and has you beaten with a better hand for instance two pair or trips they will gleefully fine you to the Max buy putting you all in and taking all your chips. For instance lets say one wins a good pot and gets 30$ in chips and gets the Kings and gets caught by someone with lets say 28$ the person with trips for instance realizes you have the kings or Aces and that she has you beaten and goes all-in takes all 28 from you then gets paid the 50$ for the aces you lost more than the minimum buy in which is 20$ so you lost an extra eight bucks. So the promotion promotes bad poker play in that you should play short stacked (not that that is not a good idea sometimes) so you get the full profit of the reward for getting "Cracked" Tactics for playing "Aces and Kings" can change from Casino to Casino depending on the rules and they are careful to have different rules in the different casinos to try to cover all the basis and draw a certain "niche" of interest from people. That interest is wraped around the local poker players mental attitudes! Gosh isn't Las Vegas Great??? Oh well I am out of time and need to get into some reading I have been wanting to do. Tommorrow is the Friday "Freeroll" Tournament that one qulaifies buy playing Harrahs properties making The Flimingo and O'Sheas virtual equvilents even though the games rules differ. My goal for tommorrow as always is to play well.
