    ATTN:MN regs.

    Is that at Mystic Lake where the 8 deck games are? The games at TI had the number of decks listed on the table sign and Mystic Lake did not. I did not see any 8 deck games at TI, but could have very easily missed them at Mystic because I was only looking for 2 and 4 deck games there.

    Vegas shows

    Off the cirque shows topic, I saw Terry Fator at the Mirage and he was really good. I had low expectations about a guy who plays with puppets, but was very impressed. My wife wanted to see Criss Angel, but my host talked us out of it and we had also heard that Criss Angel sucked. I thanked my...

    the stratospheres BJ machine that dont shuffle til after 2/3 of the decks dealt

    don't waste your time with common sense sevencard is a "legend" on a poker website. He has a huge following on his blog, including myself as a loyal reader. Tony (aka sevencard) has autism. He disclosed this himself in his blog. Recently, he has taken a huge hit in his bankroll by playing...

    Holecarding

    Buy Exhibit CAA. It has more info than you could possibly imagine. I believe the book was $250, but not quite sure because it was bought for me as a gift. People are not going to be very eager to give out the info in the book for free on this site.

    Wisconsin Casino recommendations -

    correction I posted the route if you where starting off in Chicago. If starting in Twin Cities, obviously reverse the order. Turtle Lake-M Pines- Rainbow-Ho Chunk. This to me is even better because you can hit the best 2 in my opinion (T Lake and M Pines) and then adjust your schedule from...

    Wisconsin Casino recommendations -

    Of the three you have mentioned, I have had the most luck finding a quality game at Majestic Pines in Black River Falls. I haven't been there in a while, but last time I was there, they had a 2 deck game with 15 min and 100 max. Pen varied, but have definitely found 75% numerous times...

    El Cortez is amazing, but risky

    Roberta's inside the El Cortez is a very good restaurant, especially considering what else is downtown! Of course, it tastes even better when it's comped. I've been there twice and food was very good and the service was above average both times. Also, I have played numerous hit and run...

    Counting on Comp Cards: Is it worth having one?

    I know that I have played green at both the Orleans and the Gold Coast and received the same mailers that my wife receives (red chip flat bettor), which did not include any free rooms and a whooping $5 in slot play if a registered guest (sorry, not paying for a room). I have gone back to both...

    Counting on Comp Cards: Is it worth having one?

    I think the correct answer to this is maybe! If this casino gives good comps such as meals, free slot play, match play coupons, free rooms, etc., I would lean toward using my players club card, especially at red chip levels. Comps can be a valuable part of a counters EV. At higher levels...

    Wendover

    I have been there a few times, but not for about a year. The 4 main casinos are all affliated. They have a nice shuttle that comes by every 10-15 minutes, so getting from place to place is pretty easy if you don't have a car. I played greens there with no problem, but I also kept my sessions...
