So far, I haven't won at poker from the casino at all. The best I've done is broke even or maybe $7 up. "7up"
That's the trouble with me: I initially start off doing pretty well in the game, which is when I get reckless or bored--possibly both--and start playing my weak hands or maybe even overvalue my hole cards a bit.
I know I can play better, but I don't have that much time to play with--3 hours is the most usually.
It's always good to scope out the playing hall before you begin your game. There are regulars on every table. There is not one table where there isn't a recognisable face--I don't know them, but I know they're here more frequent than I am. I can't sit on a table without seeing someone I've played with before. And I don't even play often.
This is where you need to be careful as some of the players are here with each other. There's always a suspicion of an unfair game going on. Like today, where this married couple couldn't sit on the same table--I've played with them countless of times. Today, there was suspicion over whether they had signals for each other.
Where does all this lead me anyway? I'm still $122 down from all the bad calls I've been making since I was $15o up.
Sometimes. Sometimes, you're just outmatched by better players. Sometimes, your reads aren't as good as you thought they were--you get blinded into calling strong hands with cards you shouldn't have been playing with in the first place. Bad calls. Bored calls.
These are the kind of calls that release you from victory. Take a break once in a while, kid.
