First time at Fallsview/Casino Niagara!!
It's gunna be my first time playing at a casino and I'm very excited!! I'll be playing at the 1/2 NL tables. I was just wondering, and this may sound stupid, but what denominations of chips should I get from the cage for $100....
Comments
on 2+2 someone was saying to get at least 80 white chips
I doubt he is. I usually just get a rack full of whites (100) and have green/blacks in my pocket for topping up.
and make sure you take a tub of vasoline with you. you'll understand why after your aces get cracked by some guy defending with 64o.
BTW - Just bring a stack of $5 red chips.
What he said! Oh and fuck niagara too. Seneca is where the cool kids hang out.
ONE BLACK CHIP!
Mark
fixed it for ya.
There is also no $2-$5 limit game available on Fridays or Saturdays.
LOL... I think that very hand has cracked my aces on a number of times.
Here are some tips that I use to get through the day there:
1. Come to the complete understanding that the game is going to move as slow as anything...I usually sit and play along with the table for the first 2 hours until I have identified my targets who spew chips.
2. If you are going in with AA or KK with a multiway pot, 60-80 bucks isn't going to cut it with when it comes to re-raising....blow people out of the pot with 150-200 bets....if someone calls you know on the flop you are getting in. I know this play seems irratic but eventually some numb nut calls you with some random hand because "he likes to gamble" and you get paid.
3. The game runs very passive....see every flop...its fun and you get to watch people get AK and junk like that get cracked by 39 off....
After you win about 1-2 buy ins get up and leave for a while....otherwise you end up dumping it all back
I usually aim to make 1000-1500 a session there and then leave. I hit and run
I would like to meet you. And I assume you mean "you can't get any better than this game" not "these players are so good you cannot make money", right?
What are you, 16 years old??
Did you feel like Daddy Warbucks counting off each raise one chip at a time?
Well I guess that is one way to announce "I'm a noob!"
Very tricky Mr Chris. ?
+1. But I have never played 5/5NL anywhere else...
Anytime there are less than 10 players in a table, Fallsview's session fee becomes better compared to a rake. The amount and percentage of money being taken per hour from each player and the table can go much higher with a rake as players go for meal breaks or the table becomes 6-9 handed, compared to Fallsview's constant $12/hour/player. A friend who is a winning player at Seneca's cash games and tournaments also likes the $5 NL cash games at Fallsview even better, where he hasn't had a single losing session yet. Last time we carpooled to Fallsview, he was up as always but wanted to go home early; after being involved in an all-in for the fourth time, I agreed to leave since I had more than quadrupled up after only two hours.
If anybody is interested in joining a car pool from the QEW to go to a Niagara area casino (especially on Saturdays), PM or let me know. What we do is phone Fallsview, Niagara and Seneca to find out the number of 2/5+ tables and people waiting. We phone from the car at the optimum time to sign up and minimize the waiting time. We have always been near the top of the list by the time we sign in, but we are prepared to drive to Seneca if the wait is too long. While driving, we also get to discuss the many mistakes we make during a session, so we improve our game.
Hehehe...yeah I guess I phrased it a little abstract. It is a great game in terms of profitibility (hence what I mean by can't be beat
And as for meeting me, I was there fri-mon this weekend past and if you were there on monday night I was on table 5 causing the old men to leave because I got the whole table yelling and screaming.....lol
I also table talk too much and the dealers either find it really annoying or quite funny as it usually has nothing to do with the game but just general observations.
The best one this weekend was "Mr. Bling"....now the reason why we called him this was because he was wearing a red and white golf shirt with a red/white poker hat...full beard with crazy black shades and a giant $ sign around his neck....
I had originally asked to call him Mr. Poker but he didn't appreciate that too much so we settled on Mr. Bling. And btw he didnt change his clothes all weekend....
Look for me next time...I usually dress like a bum with my drunk monkey hat (its a red hat with a monkey logo on it) and if you look at my wrist I have a blue faced submariner rolex on usually. (yeah I am a baller..but i where it because it reminds me why I am at the table....to scoop
