Whats your buyin? (Casino)
While this may vary from person to person, I though it would be interesting to find out the board's gambling habits.
Whats your usual limit when gambling (mainly table games), buyin? usual bet?
My 2 games are poker and blackjack.
Poker REALLY depends. While I enjoy playing poker, I always sit down with to goal to make money (and usually succeed). I'll typically play 1-2 no limit texas hold em and buy in $200 (standard). I'm not totally opposed to going higher if I've made a few bucks playing though.
I have played $1-5 7 card stud with friends at a table when on gambling trips. Buy in $100 and get hammered for 8 hours.
Blackjack I'll go for the lowest table available. I definitely play this more socially, but obviously like to win. I am willing to bet more than the table minimum, but there is no distinct advantage playing at a $25 table over a $5 table. So I'll sit as low as possible and usually bet between $5 and $15 a hand. I typically buy in for $100.
The one advantage is avoiding the other newbie players... though I find it's difficult to completely dodge them at any buy in (there's dumb money at all levels)
Poker and usually buy in 100X BB.
Occasionally I'll play blackjack if I just want to get hammered and fuck off a few hundred.
Yup
Don't gamble at casinos, that's for damn sure. Makes playing blackjack hard, though.
I like casino
I usually buy in for $200 - $300 and play til it's gone. I do anything from Craps to Blackjack to Texas Hold'em. Craps is probably my favorite though. Never touch slots.
lol maybe one time you should play until its not ... gone ...
I play 1-2 No Limit down at Foxwoods. I buy in for the table maximum of 300. If I get low, I'll add money back up to 300 rather than looking to gamble and go all in. I'm not down there very often though.
Anyone ever play at Turningstone? I'm interested, seeing that I'm moving to Ithaca soon.
I played at Turningstone its an amazing casino... I'm 18 so my opinion my bias considering its the only casino I can play at. The only sad thing is there if you don't feel like gambling...you better leave or they will suck you dry considering the casino is the only thing to do. Also playing poker there the day I did, full of terrible players...
Niiice. Thanks for the heads up on Turningstone. I can't wait to check it out.
I'm 18 so my opinion my bias considering its the only casino I can play at. [/quote] Well, I'm almost 30, but I don't have much experience in gambling as I started playing online games not long ago. So, your age is not the point.
Was just there two weeks ago. Being over 21 is a plus, they added 5 new bars. 1 nightclub called LAVA- great club we were lucky and they played hip-hop all night. Several table games, sit down $15 Blackjack table get hammered and have fun for 2hrs usually net $50 bucks give or take depending on how hot you get
SD Ball, thats cool. What brings you to Ithaca? I'm in NYC, from Upstate Originally. Goin to Foxwoods for the first time in a couple of months. Also have played at Turningstone. Its pretty nice. The quality of players is actually a little better than in AC.
I definitely stick to poker to make some money, then lose it all in BlackJack or other table games.
I bought in with $60 at turningstone and was up over $170 but some bitch hit on 18... and I got raped... had over $60 on the table.
Moving to Ithaca to get my MBA at Cornell.
Ya, I played 1-2 NL at Tropicana in AC a few months ago and I thought the players were blah. Made a quick buck fiddy in about an hour before I had to leave for bachelor party festivities.
Tropicana... wow, that name brings back memories... (ignore the title in my profile, I'm old...) The casino is definitely not the nicest (granted, its Atlantic City...), but one of my earliest poker memories when I was still a total newbie learning the game is from Tropicana.
I had just sat down at a $2/$5 table and was still in the first orbit when I found myself in a 3-way all-in against a big black bald guy wearing a red track suit with huge headphones and a diminutive (but talkative) white dude with a baseball cap. I had flopped a set of Jacks on the Ace high board, and somehow the money went all in on the flop... don't even remember the turn or river... but my set of Jacks held, and I won the big pot and decided to leave.
Made well over $1000 in about 15 minutes. In my inexperience at the time, I didn't realize it was bad etiquette ("hit and run") to leave after winning a big pot, and I was subsequently chastised by the others at the table. I remember I said to one of the guys complaining to me "whatever, man... I'm taking my girl to dinner" and indeed I proceeded to take my girlfriend at the time (now wife) to a very nice dinner.
Good times...
Whereabouts in Upstate NY? Anywhere near Albany?
$1000 buy-in at a $2-5 table, like a man. What's with all these $100, $200 buy-ins? :)
not really a cash game player but I'll usually buyin for 100-150 biebers at a 1-2 or 2-4 game. Live tourney sweet spot is between $400 - $1500 buyin, although I might try to light $10k on fire in the Main next yr ;)
Where do you play?
I'm looking to play higher tourney stakes as I feel my ranges of other people and probabilities are off due to particularly high variance from shoddy players.
But, I think of some of the hands Phil Laak has played or Tom Dwan at those stakes and figure there will be donkish/crazy players everywhere.
I might hit up Miami around New Years and cruise to the Hard Rock Seminole casino down there in Hollywood, FL. I played a small tourney there that was fun in 2015. Casino seemed pretty nice.
Yeah. I am going to do the $10K Main in Vegas as well. I don't know about next year - or which year, but have clear expectations that I could play it 20 times and never get first. But, it would be nice to at least min cash every year or something. Of course 1st is the goal and I want that bracelet (I would auction for charity of course).
Most likely though, yes, you would be lighting it on fire.
Sammy Farha vs. Oliver Hudson
2005 1st Hand WSOP Main
A10 vs 10 10
Flop: AA10
lololol
light that money on fire

I enjoy Roulette and 3 card poker, usually play $5/$10 tables and buy in for $100. But those games are guaranteed losers.
I count, so if I'm there for keeps, I buy in at blackjack for $1,500. $1,200 black, $200 green, $100 red (gotta trip the waitress!). Usually play $100/hand (no partner playing minimum to signal a loaded deck). Push it when the deck is loaded enough to come out ahead long term, but not enough to get caught.
It's actually pretty boring. Nothing to write home about.
Poker is $1000 or whatever game is less than or equal to 25x my bankroll.
Blackjack only. $1k buy-in. Prefer $10min tables, for when deck gets cold and I can back off to minimize exposure, but I like that there are (typically) fewer idiots at $25min tables.
You'd be surprised.....
$500 at 2-5 NL Poker
I played a $150 NLHE Tourney at Best Bet Jacksonville yesterday.
It was about 58 entrants. 6 players cash.
I had a big lead coming into the final table of 10. Then, lost 1/3 of stack going AK to QQ all in preflop. I raised big with AK on the button, he shoved as Big Blind. Didn't want to call, but had to (this guy was playing tight, knew he had something big).
Bubble broke, blinds were high. Our stacks were fairly even. Idea was tossed around to split the pot and stop the game, so that's what we did. Took home $1100.
I want to play Americas Cardroom's Million Dollar Sunday.
I might play the one on 1/7/18. $1 million GTD. $250+$15 buy in. 1st place is usually around $80K. They have another $1 million GTD sometimes with a $500 buy in with a first place of around $260K.
..
Black Jack, 3 Card Poker and similar - $300 (This is sitting down with friends and drinking to black-out)
NL Hold em' - Depends on limits but I'd echo below of 100xBB PL Omaha - As much as I can because the action in PLO is sick.
Most of all I like to play blackjack, but lately I'm very involved in Aloha Island game, which is very strange, because I never liked this kind of games.
My limit is $ 100. If I lose a hundred dollars, I won't play anymore
when you bet or play gambling games - you really risk with everything
btw, everything depends not from your luck only, but from your skills too
I bought in a tourney for $88 yesterday and placed 32nd for $286.14. Prize pool was $60K. First was $10,542. I really wanted to win that $10K, but cashing is ok I guess. 753 entrants.
How long of a time commitment is it to play out a tourney like this? Genuinely curious
for 753 people maybe 8 hours or something to win.
I want to play the Venetian when I’m in Vegas this December - maybe $400 - $600 buy in.
I like to play slot. Slot machines megapulsa have long been a popular kind of amusement for people of all ages. Land-based casinos used to use simple yet elegant slot machines with a lever to crank the reels in the past. As technology advanced, though, games became available on the internet. Microgaming deserves credit for this, as they pioneered the world's first online casino. For all game enthusiasts, convenience is the most important factor. Because megapulsa it's available online, a player can avoid the hassle of traveling to several casinos only to play their favorite slots. Online games are now available on mobile devices, so you may play them on the go.
Knowing the benefits of gambling websites is obviously insufficient. It is necessary to determine the explanation for this. The majority of us are unaware that creating an internet slot megapulsa takes less time and is significantly less expensive than creating slots in a land-based casino. The same factor has prompted software companies like Microgaming, Net Entertainment, and Playtech to release new slots on a monthly basis. This is most likely the explanation for the large number of games available on the web platform.
Ahh I love/hate reminiscing about my gambling youth days.
Some highlights: was down 30k in blackjack and ran it up to 110k in an hour.
Used to be play poker at the borgata every weekend one year. Was a regular in the 200/400 mixed game. It still runs from what I’m told, fri to Sunday.
I got to play with people like Paul volpe, ted Forrest, ivey (online), Shaun deep and Dan zack.
But I was a total fish. Finally swore off any type of gambling after I tricked off like 500k.
I start by betting $5. I only play the 50:50 games like roulette. If I lose I double down and I don’t leave until I’ve won 14 times. 14 x 5 = $70 pays for the YouTube TV for the month. It’s such an adrenaline rush when you have to start betting 9, 10, 11, 12 figure sums - thank god for low interest rates.
haha what?
Yeah IDK what this guys talking about. Roulette isn't 50/50 odds. Martingale only works assuming you have pockets as deep as the casino itself. 9 figure sums to walk with $70 and pay your Youtube TV? What?
I only invest, what I earn. this is my rule
Ok
My limit is always different. It depends on my mood.
Blackjack. Everyone at the table presses bets, plays off dealer face up card using probabilities since house is always hitting till 17 or higher (6 outcomes). Players always split when pair cards/split again if another. 7 or higher dealer face up is a pat hand, below 7 you stand where you are and play bust probability. If above 7 showing you hit until your at 17 or above even if bust. Everyone does this, have done well.
Some may not agree and say don’t press. Is what it is.
I only play a few times a year now.
I only like playing the 2/4 mixed games, so bring about 20k with me and most of the times I lose it all, but once in awhile I have spun it up to like 50k
For kicks, I'll let you guys know the odds per $ played (GGR / Drop) before sidebets/parlays.
Slots: 7-10 points
Sports: similar to slots
Tables: 15-25 points
$1k for the weekend, $200 each time I sit down
Maybe I’m a bit older on this forum.
But I play 10/20 mandatory straddle 40 regularly and buy in for $5k.
My average bid is $5.
I do not have any restrictions when I play at online casinos. It all depends on how much money I deposited. I always use percent rule as I think it's a good way to keep my balance. Moreover, I use paysafecard in einem Online-Casino to keep my money safe and secure. Now there are many online casinos that are cheaters, so it is important to choose only reliable platforms with high reputation. Regardless of the balance, it is important to gamble responsibly and set a budget for oneself.
Depends on how long of a trip we've planned (I don't go and gamble alone) and what else I'm blowing money on, but typically a couple grand fun-money, mainly blackjack. If I'm up a bit and feeling frisky I'll play craps but that's rare.
Gamble responsibly and be prepared to lose what you pull out.
