"Poker in Las Vegas…I love it. The rooms are busy, the action is great (not quite as good as California, but close) and the money is flowing! I have been in and around the Las Vegas poker rooms intermittently for 10 years or so. I have seen the rooms close up during the down time and re-open with grandeur in the new “Moneymaker era”. Thanks to television, the Las Vegas card rooms are booming again. It is great to see." |

This is some of the best advice there, that can be applied almost universally to life. In the south, it may also keep you from being clubbed or shot. |

| Great article, Albert! Really enjoyed it. Even at my level, I feel the same about the "rooms of Vegas." Actually, pulling me out of the lowest doldrums after spending too much time in the Poker is Going to Be Illegal forum, your article reminded me of the good things about poker -- Vegas. If only the heat and the brown... wasn't so... "heat and the brown," in Vegas, it would be perfect! Who knows... it may come to that if I desire to keep playing seriously. I may actually end up living in Vegas. Whoda thunk?! |

One last thing... after nside and others keep saying 15/30 and 30/60 are do-able in Vegas... and now, after reading your article (do you like the way I keep talking to you, Albert, and you're not even here?  ), AND the distinct possiblity I could end up living in Vegas and have to support myself, I feel, for the first time, I need to master this "aggression" thing, and play and press my limits to the extent of my br... iow, get a heck of a lot more serious, and begin moving up in levels, on-line. Perhaps the luxory days of playing it safe, tight, and slow, are about to end, in my case... If nothing else, a renewed, ernest, dedication to this quest, would be good preparation for the near future, whatever it might hold.
I hope to go back to Vegas pretty soon-- within the next couple of months. Time to step it up-- check out these middle limits, the Bellagio and other rooms, for myself. |
