3 tabling 6max online >>> 1 tabling full ring live.
Me, bored imo.

But yes, not really good for full ring or this environment, but some of it was me still thinking like it was still 6max and some of it was you should shut the hell up and let me have my glory. Seriously, BOAT OVER FUCKING BOAT.

Yeah, it was a very nice room. And my results haven’t cracked my hopes for what I know I can do live. It’s almost better that I did so laughably bad that I got a sweet story out of it.

I agree with Bryan.

And I apologize too because, to be completely honest, I was kind of so shell shocked from my own run that I wasn’t really paying enough analytical attention to any of your hands. It’s also definitely obscured by the unbelievable negative variance, but in theory I guess you’d want me chewing on the strat too.

Fairly, I managed to see raised flops with T8s, T9o, 54s, KQo, and KJs that I can remember, but I was unbelievably bored and tilty.

First big hand, I get AT in early position

AT in EP?

I get TT in EP, 2 people call my raise.

raise TT in EP?

I’ve done both of these things of course but in these games I shy away from it.

Slot Machines.

Amen.

Hahhheeeey!!!!!!! You broke your cherry! This is cool on so many levels. To go to Borgata as your first live poker room is to eat at Nobu for your first Asian dinner. Like having Scarlet Johannsen as your first girlfriend. Like, you know what I mean. Ok, so it’s unfortunate you lost, but I guess you learned some of the huge differences bet. online and live. Places like the Borgata, especially on weekends, provide a wide array of personalities. There is everything from the curious college kid to the little old lady to the smelly pro grinder trying to make his rent money. Oh yeah, and the tourists. A casino like this is a great place for the pro grinder, because he knows there is a lot of easy money here. Regardless, you will do fine live if you make the proper adjustments. Dan Harrington and others recommend playing extremely tight in a loose game like these. My suggestion? Learn Omaha Hi Lo and you will make a killing in live games. Or play a higher limit. That may sound like the worst advice ever, but I have a theory that some of the middle limit games are the easiest to beat.

Anyhow, it’s great news. My favorite Borgata story is when I got my points rewards card and they told me I had 19 points on it. The guy next to me had over 100,000 points on his card. That man was Paul Darden.

As far as slots, Mike Sexton’s brother told me he knew Mike was big time when he saw his picture on a slot machine.
