Comments on: Hold'Em Against the House http://www.casinoguide.com/blogs/gambling/holdem-against-the-house/ Just another WordPress weblog Fri, 02 Dec 2011 03:38:53 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: jinx http://www.casinoguide.com/blogs/gambling/holdem-against-the-house/comment-page-1/#comment-1629 jinx Thu, 16 Jul 2009 16:45:30 +0000 http://wp.casinoguide.com/lifeinvegas/?p=6245#comment-1629 There are like 40 versions of damn Texas Hold'em table game all amazingly different. I couldn't tell one apart from another, one used to require for you to stay in you had to raise 10X your bet. Which means even a $5 table is looking at a $55 bet to 'stay' in. You were braver then me for giving it a try as I had no desire to at a table game. However, I did play an electronic version at Binion's which was a $1 game, so for $20 was able to sit down and get a feel, took damn near 10 minutes for me to understand what the hell was going on, but I probably played on the machine for close to an hour on that same 20 and had at least 4-5 drinks, it's the same type of machine where they have the video dealers for blackjack. Just in case you want to try again. I find for the carny style stuff if I'm going to learn the rules it might as well be on a computer, as I seem to understand it better by working it out myself anyway.

When I say I hit it, I mean I eat there and do things to the donuts that should not be mentioned here. Harrah’s Breaksfast Buffet is one of the best, I hit it each time I am in town.
