Re: [vpFREE] Laughlin Trip

We always think about renting a car and driving to Vegas from Laughlin but have never found the time. We were there last week and the time flew! We stayed at Harrah's and only made it to the Golden Nugget this time but like to casino hop. We had a beautiful jacuzzi suite overlooking the river and enjoyed the room more this time. We had a gift basket and special cookies and candies in the bedroon each night. The Diamond Lounge is nice and the people working there are really nice to you. On the weekends they serve chicken and shrimp but on weekdays it is sandwiches(which are good), veggies, cheese and crackers and cookies. No breakfast anymore. We like the food at Harlow's at the Golden Nugget and the buffet at Harrah's is nice. Have a great time and make some money:)

CoachVee,

So you got to share a meal with Joan and Tom on your last Vegas adventure. I
have not done that in awhile myself. But that experience would have been in
Laughlin.

I am curious what motivates you to consider a trip to Vegas from Laughlin?
People either enjoy the drive for its high desert beauty or think the trip is a
waste of time. The roads are alot safer now. You go from 500 feet in
elevation at the river to 3500 in Searchlight, then back down to 2200 for downtown
Vegas.

My favorite Laughlin-Vegas-Laughlin adventure is to go a great circle route
starting in Searchlight at the Nugget Casino. The Nugget makes for fine
pitstop. This quaint casino looks like a Moose/Legion Hall.

You can continue north to the Railroad Pass casino or go west on the Joshua
Tree Highway that takes you through Nipton where you cross the railroad tracks.
You will run into I-15 going this way and see ten other vehicles. You will
be in California for about twenty miles before running into Primm, then Jean
and Southpoint casino.

But if you never have been in Laughlin a three day adventure will go quickly.
It is true that Harrahs thinks they have you being the south most casino,
but it really is only twelve minutes walking over to the River Palms, front door
to front door. From the River Palms the next casinos can be accessed easily
on the riverwalk. Every Laughlin casino has playable VP.

You do have the surface cabs that stage right by the Harrahs
valet/non-smoking casino for transportation. Also check with the slot club for the current
deal for the river taxi. The river taxi gives you a unique perspective of
Laughlin.

Come join the vpFREE Laughlin group where we can get more specific without
boring the rest of the gang.

Re: [vpFREE] Coast and Sams Town

They use an existing number. Seems to be the one you used more during
the defining period. But you'll notice both cards work.

Re: [vpFREE] Coast and Sams Town

Thanks for the added information. One more question..
Are they giving out new Slot card numbers or are they
using your existing number, and if they are using an
existing number how do they determine which number to
use (coast card # or Sams Town #) ?

So are you talking about Vegas from a local residents perspective? Or
maybe you are willing to fly or drive somewhere and will need a room, a
meal and like goofy promotions?

[POKERHOLICS - Also at Myspace!!] Re: Pocket Aces


It's quite funny that my simple post about my success against pocket
aces has earned me more cash than my success with them has a few
people stating with all certainty that I play aces wrong. This stated,
of course, without any experience at the table against me when I hold
them.

Let's delve a little deeper...

First, Preflop, my bets, raises and calls are very rarely based on the
two cards I have in the hole. My position, stack size comparisons,
playing styles and history of the actions of my opponents, the general
flow of the game at the time and on occasion, whether or not I will
need to leave to take a piss will affect the amount I wager.

Second, I never said nor will I ever be able to win against aces
everytime I face them. But I do face other people with aces far more
often than holding them myself and in those instances that I win the
pot, which is generally quite big, my opponent made the "mistake"
against me. But the truth is the board turned out to be more
favorable to me than to them.

To say you win more with aces, sounds like you have them two or three
times in a hour, and when you raise it to 20+ you get one caller who
appearently is never afraid of the flopped board and calls all your
heavy bets. Seems pretty obsurd.

It also sounds as if, regardless of what flops, when you hold aces,
you can't fold them. If that's so, I'll take 10,6 against you quite a
few times.

A person can play aces anyway they see fit.

A huge, overthetop, 10 times the big blind, preflop raise, just might
have one person out of the 5 limpers think, "no way does he have
pocket aces" and still call you..lol.

Most of the time, everyone will fold and you win the 12 buck pot minus
the 3 buck or so rake..congrats, you played aces "right".

I want more than one person in the pot with me, so I would make a
raise just high enough to say I got something good, but not so high
that a couple of limpers holding qj off or a9 suited won't call.

Aces make more against 3 opponents when they "hit" than one. And yes,
I will fold aces when a dangerous board shows up.

Two days ago I hit another big pot against aces, this time on the
$2/$5 no limit. 4 limpers at 5 bucks, I hold qj of hearts.

The flow of this table showed that the average preflop raise was way
overthetop-- between 30 and 40 bucks. It was full of deep pocket
businessmen and 3 young guns.

I am one off the button and raise it to 30, planning on having
everyone fold. The small blind reraises me to 60. Was that the right
thing to do? (he has aces btw *wink)

Everyone folds to me. I have 650 in front of me, the small blind -a
young gun- has 450 or so left. he will be first to act the entire hand
so I can make judgements off his actions.

I call the raise. Flop comes Kc 10h 7h. That gives me a straight draw
and flush draw.

At this point I have yet to put him on aces but ak or pocket 10's were
likely, so I could be up against top pair or a set. The size of his
bet if he bets may give me a clue.

He bets 60.. about half the pot. Ok, he's feeling strong and may have
a set and has bet just shy of 1/2 the pot. If he had top pair he would
be vunerable and I think he would have bet at least the size of the pot.

If I hit either of my draws and he does have a set, I figured he
should pay me off-- I call 60--was that the right thing to do?

The turn brings a 9c- and I have my straight. He bets 120. He might
truly be unafraid of the board and if he has that set and I call I
will need to escape the board pairing giving him a full house.

I wait a bit then I call but even with the wait I think I called too
fast because..

the river is a 6 hearts, I have my flush and he waits a minute or 2
then checks.

This time I wait even longer, and evenually bet about what I think
half his stack is--175. I was hoping for an all in from him, but
instead he just called and flipped up pockets aces.

Do I need to point out that when a person finds themselves in a pot
preflop against aces they may not know that they're up against aces? rofl.

Peace

btw I have to pay 425 in rent :p

They are marked $4 for a point, but appear to actually be worse than
that, nearer $6 a point when we tracked our play for a few minutes.

<Also, the gas station at the top of the hill and gift shop accepts comps.>

You mean I can gas up my thirsty Sequoia there and use
my comp dollars at HET?

We have not been to Laughlin in maybe 10 years or more.
We are going to the Grand Canyon in April and stopping off in Laughlin
on the way up for a couple nights and again on the way back.

If true, this is fantastic news, thanks for posting.

They have the new $4 = 1 point red signs, but I played
the 25c FPDW progressives today, that have the same
signs, and it took $8 to earn a point.

I didn't complain to anyone because I was on a tight

else have any experience with the new set up?

Re: [vpFREE] Coast and Sams Town

No.

Tell them that they haven't combined the cards and request that they
do so immediately. The more pressure on clowns who put systems into
production that aren't ready the better.

I got my points consolidated last week.
