Answer 1:

IIRC, the 4-color Kem decks are the wrong colors. Mike Caro got the colors right: Green Clubs, Blue Diamonds, Red Hearts, Black Spades. The Kem decks are strange colors.

Answer 2:

Actually, I think its PINK hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, green clovers, and blue diamonds.

Answer 3:

The four color deck at Paradise is simply marvelous! What do we have to do to get casinos to start using them? It would certainly prevent my most embarassing moment last Saturday. I’m ready to scoop with a nice Ace high diamond flush in a Omaha8 kill pot when the guy next to me lays down an 8 high flush with a busted low. “I got the ace,” I said laying the cards out. “Oops, that ace of hearts used to be a diamond. How did that happen?” He scoops huge pot including my raise on the river that he called. ARGHHH!!!!!

Answer 1:

I went to Reno in November and played holdem at the Circus Circus, Peppermill, and El Dorado…I think the Peppermill was my favorite out of those three (Must be because i was on fire at their 10-20 table). I was also lucky enough to be dealt in when the bad beat was hit at the Circus Circus (The friend i went with hit it!). I heard also that the Reno Hilton is good, as well as Boomtown casino right outside the city of Reno. Missed Tahoe…next time I will head over there…

Answer 2:

The only current action at Lake Tahoe is at Harvey’s on the South Shore. They almost always have 1-5 7CS and a 2-6 HE game. During the weekends or when there is a reasonable influx of out of town players they get all kinds of games down. I’ve seen 5-10 kill & 10-20 1/2 kill O/8 games, 15-30 and 25-50 HE games, a 7/8 game, and small PLH games. I’m sure others get started. There was a North Shore game but it’s closed for Casino renovations. Check Card Player to see if it’s reopened in Jan. As far as transport: it’s a lake. The roads around it make a big circle. Your options as to how to get anywhere are limited to the point it’s usu. hard to be wrong. From the west/north shore Reno isn’t more than an hour way. Your options in Reno are significantly more varied. If you are skiing the day away on Mt. Rose and want to play poker it’s probably worth it to stay in Reno. But then I’m not entirely sure. My idea of a good time in the winter is to stay close to the fire with a good book.

Answer 3:
If you are staying at South Shore, there is a shuttle bus that runs to Heavenly Ski Area from the casinos and larger motels. There is also shuttle service (for a fee) that will take you to Kirkwood (about 35 miles from South Tahoe) or around the lake to Squaw Valley (also about 35 miles from South Tahoe). Harveys at South Shore is the only place with action, mostly low limit except on weekends or during their tournaments. Reno will have better poker action (Peppermill for middle limit), but you would be better off renting a car and driving to the various ski areas if you stay in Reno. If flying in to the area, you will be going to Reno since commercial air traffic to South Lake Tahoe has been missing for the most part since Air al was bought out by American Airlines (about 12 years ago).

One of the most crucial skills in tournament poker is the ability to make good decisions at the critical time when you have chips to play between 1 and 2 1/2 pots. The skill in this is HUGE. Do you play 44, A9, a player raises you have KQ, passed to you on the bottom with 98s…. bad players make bad decisions. There is still a lot of skill in what you describe, and over time the good players get the money. The correctly playing players get the money. Obviously this structure has a lot of luck to it, but it also involves a lot of skills because crucial decisions will take place *all the time.* Play.

Answer 2:

I was going to reply to your question, but Badger has already said what I wanted to say. I agree with him fully. Also, playing these little tournaments is valuable practice, experience never hurt anyone. You still have a better shot at winning than the average player, it’s just not as big an advantage as a regular paced tournament. When you do play a big tournament though, you’ll welcome the change.

Answer 3:

You played the hand the only way you could. When Badger said you must sell your soul to AJo, you may have misunderstood. He was talking about situations late in a tournament like that, where certain hands become automatic. First one in, you can’t fold the AJ, but if it gets raised that doesn’t mean you have to call. What Badger is saying here, is that in order to WIN these types of tournaments you’ll have to gamble. You won’t get A-A and K-K enough to let you coast to victory. All you can do is put yourself in position to get lucky. Once you’ve done that, TRY to get lucky! Don’t just sit there and let your chips dwindle away because of the blind increases, go to war!! If you keep blasting away, one day it might be your day. Nobody can consistently win a tournament like this, like you said it is a crapshoot…so roll the dice!

Answer 1:

I certainly prefer NL (even PL) over structured limit games. Primarily because you can protect good hands with big bets and collect from people who like to hang in there with draws. But in general these are purer forms of poker where there are subtler forms of manipulation of your opponents available as well.

Answer 2:

Indeed! Much more mental action than grinding it out at limit! As for NL vs POT, depends on the game. Pot is fine for Holdem, but I prefer NL for Omaha. Omaha is a draw out game. What you are trying to do is to make your opponent make mistakes; either putting his money in there when he shouldn’t, or not putting his money in there when he should. When you bet the pot with the best hand, he is getting 2 to 1 odds to call, and given the nature of the 4 card game, he probably has enough outs to justify calling. You need to be able to over bet the pot. In Holdem you don’t have that problem as the guy with the best hand usually has much the best of it.

Answer 3:

I have been playing pot limit holdem for about 4 months and it has become my favorite game. In some ways it is more complex then no limit, while you are trying to trap your opponent you still have to some how build the pot blending both of these actions is the
true art of pot limit.

Answer 1:

Yes you will find low limit Omaha 8 and better at the Horseshoe, Orleans, Mirage and many other casinos, have fun hope to play a few hands with you. I like the Orleans best for Omaha 8 and better the blinds or 1 and 2 and you can play lose or tight as you wish the others have 2 and 4 blinds.

Answer 2:

Santa Fe in Las Vegas deals 1-4 Omaha-8 everyday. That’s about the lowest limit you are going to find for O/8. They start the game around 10:00 AM and it breaks up around 6:00 PM every day. A great place to get your feet wet if you don’t mind playing during the day and you don’t mind driving.

Answer 3:

The O/8 at the Orleans is $4-8 (with or without 1/2 kill) with $1-2 blinds.

Answer 1:

Well, you should have raised pre-flop…as for the turn, you can’t worry about the hearts, but you can worry about the small blind having an 8 (he only had to pay two bucks to see the flop). I would call him down. My point of raising pre-flop is that if you raise pre flop, then bet out on the flop (after he checks), he probably isn’t going to keep his pair of 8′s (if that is what he had)…But I guess a flush is coming since you say two hearts on the board…even though you are in trouble playing this game if you are scared of two suited cards on the turn after a rainbow flop. Like I said, call him down. Bet the river if he checks.

Answer 2:

It depends completely on the player, and the players behind you. Against some, I’d raise it for sure. Against others I wouldn’t put in another cent! Then if I didn’t really know the player, I might just call. The correct decision isn’t clear, no one can you give you an absolutely correct answer with the information you presented.

Answer 3:

Until you know more about the player, assume he’s a typical low limit player (loose-passive), which means he’s betting because he has trips. Muck this hand, and wait for a better opportunity to get your chips in. And while you’re waiting, learn as much as you can about the players at your table.
