Hey Logicaly...

There is indeed more strategy to it!

It's certainly too much to go into here. Reading about it is challenging, in my opinion, because they try and cover everything before you even have the basics down.

What game are you playing?

I LOVE me some poker and have gotten lucky a few times

I dont have a strategy and I suck at bluffing but the thrill of the game is enough to keep me coming back. I wont mention (oh yes I will!) the time I went to a biggo party in SoCal and there was a giant table of Butches all playing poker and I busted up in there and took ALL of their monies.

Thanks!! Unfortunately I don't have any success stories to tell for myself, but my honey took 18th place (out of 304 players) at the Golden Nugget event we played in, and then 3rd place in a small daily tourny at Imperial Palace... so that was awesome!

I'm playing in the ladies event at the Borgata Summer Open in Atlantic City this Saturday. Hope my cards/luck are better there!

Congrats to your honey! That's awesome.

Good luck on Saturday!

Thanks! Unfortunately, I only played about 3 hours. Besides having a table bully to my left, I had horrible, awful, crappy cards - and the very few times I had a good starting hand, someone had a better one. Oh well... that's poker, folks!

I'm going to try to redeem myself next week in another tournament in the same series.... hoping for better cards!

It's official - I am transferring to our Phoenix office in September! yippee!!

Anyone who knows me knows that I checked out the casinos in the area before anything else LOL. I am thrilled to have a few to choose from - pretty close by I might add! Don't get me wrong, I love playing poker in Atlantic City, but it's a 2-hour drive in good traffic... yuck.

Have any of you played poker in any of the AZ casinos???
