Re: [vpFREE] Today’s trip to Vegas casino...and thoughts...

 

Also, since you go to play Texas Holdem, I would guess your exposure to others will be more intense than from playing VP -- with the proximity of the other players, and the communal handling of cards and chips.  While I'm not a big fan of them, I've played on the no-live-dealer electronic tables in the past, and one advantage is that you don't handle chips or cards (but you're still in proximity to the other players).  Other advantages, which don't offset my yearning for the social aspects of the game, are more hands per hour, no one can play out of turn, no accidental exposure of cards, auto-posting of blinds (perhaps optional), rapid assignment of the pot to the winner (and even moreso on split pots), and probably others I'm forgetting.  The "social" aspect can still be experienced, if people look up from the screens and talk to each other, but I used to see a lot of players ignoring the others, with headphones and/or reading books.

I may be posting more often than customary for me -- since I seem to have little better to do with my time now that I'm home-bound for the most part :)

Let's please leave our own political opinions out of this group.

I have a twice a year trip planned to Vegas in early April, we were planning half of it at Bellagio to see Jerry Sienfield, but the B is closing for now. 

The trip is really up in the air on if we decide to go or not (I'm 55, wife is 49).

I go for poker (Texas hold'em) and make points playing VP.

Thanks, Tim
