One of the joints... that Navegante owns or manages in Carson City - Casino Fandango - offered a very good deeply dealt DOA SD. I haven't been there in over a year, so I don't know the current conditions.

Inner Gambler Many years ago, at the Reno Hilton, I saw Bradshaw walking away from a betting window at the racebook and said, "I didn't know the inner child liked to bet on horses." He smiled and said "The inner child loves to bet on horses." He was a very nice and friendly gentleman, but the...

550 hrs,.. 900+ units - playing single deck exclusively. One other time about 780 units.

It was Ken Uston

Thanks Rob... Unless I get trampled to death in a stampede, I'll be back. Just feel like "dropping out" for a while. No phone, no TV, no internet. Than I'll build a small Santa Fe-style pueblo in New Mexico and go gently into the night. You always seemed to maintain a good balance between...

Hey Syph.... Shoot me an e-mail @ renoplayer@hotmail.com. I sold my house and am leaving Reno Thursday. I'll be in Texas working cattle for a while (a friend's 89yo father needs some help). Then I'll probably retire to a small town in New Mexico. I'm finished with cities, noise, traffic...

South Lake Tahoe... There are only a few playable games in SLT (I only play SD) Ceasar's has 1 SD D10 in high limit pit, and 2 in main pit (Usually $10 min 5-6 rds). Harrah's has 1 or 2 SD in high limit pit - good pen - usually crowded). Harvey's has 1 or 2 SD D10 - usually $25 min - 5 rds -...

Actually... I had seen the ad in the poker magazine the night before he posted it. I circled the ad and brought the mag home. There is also an ad for a single deck game at another joint. It is about 500 miles from my house and no, it wasn't enough to entice me to go. There are much better games...

Why the tease? If you weren't going to tell, why not just keep it quiet? After all the add was in publication regularly seen in poker rooms.

The market might correct it.... tho I wouldn't "count" on it. Even tho most ploppies don't know the "vig" of most games, they will know, perhaps not individually, but collectively, that they are losing more and faster. They will not have as much fun - playing time -for their money. So, again...

Some updates Harrah's Reno now has some 6/5 SD in the pit near the racebook. The SD in the main casino and high limit pit is still 3/2 D10 with good pen. Atlantis in now mostly SD D10. There are some SD DOA.

Reno is still mostly SD. Downtown is D10, except for Sands (D9) and Siena (DOA). Sparks is mostly DOA, with the Alamo adding LS. The outlying casinos, Boomtown, Atlantis and Peppermill are DOA. P'mill also has D10. In Carson City, the Nugget and Fandango are SD, DOA, the Station is D10. Pinion...

I didn't read the survey, but.... did they mention all the pawn shops that open up around casinos to help the financially stable people have fun. I was driving around Carson City the other day and noticed a 2nd pawn shop was opening up next to a little slots only joint.

Take 95 north.... 420 miles.

Distribution problems.... That's like asking if Saddam has fixed the hole in his roof.

I had the most barrings in that survey... 50+ and that didn't even count being chased out of a joint by a 300 lb goon and the pit supervisor Friday night. Since thay never gat the chance to actually tell me...it doesn't count.

The ability to win or lose substantial sums of money over long periods of time and still maintain a degree of emotional equanimity

Don't use a tracking card. I've been backed off 3 times and 86'd twice at the Peppermill in about 100 hrs of play. One backoff was between the barrings and I was in "disguise" (hat on backwards and sunglasses). The second barring was a few years after the first and they knew my real name, even...

Good answer also.

Re: I hope it is better than advantageplayer.com There was a thread about Don's "never" list. T-Hopper questioned the wisdom of parts of the list - like "never play SD". As usual, Don's fangs came out, his heels dug in, and he blathered like a fool - which I know he is not - that is until you...
