I’m in Vegas so cut me some slack

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Alright guys sorry for not posting too much in the past few days but I’ve been in Vegas and I’m winning good so I decided to stay another week. Might be backin a couple days from the hotel lobby with some results but right now I’m just having fun playing… :)

Wish me luck — I’m off to the Baccarat (punto banco here!) table!

The Bellagio: Playing Poker in Vegas

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

The Bellagio is the best poker room in Vegas hand down. It is gorgeous. Most of the local professionals play here. If you are lucky you may also see a famous face or two in the elevated high limit section.

The actual fixtures and fittings are lovely and you could not feel more up market if you tried.

The competition at the Bellagio is actually quite tough. Especially at the mid to higher limits. Everyone knows this is the place to play and it draws out a better than average punter. This being said it also brings out the poker wannabes with a stack full of Daddy’s money to burn. If you have the patience, a better than average player can definitely win money at the lower limits. You will not see big action though as the tables can be very tight and you have to be prepared to wait to get on them.
