A few buddies & I decided to ditch work tomorrow and run up to Milwaukee. One guy needs to pick up a new loader outside Rockford. We go on random baseball trips and need to hit Milwaukee still.
So I found the Potawatomi casino online. Anyone ever been there? The website currently shows 10 tables spreading low limit, no limit, Big O, and Rd by Rd which I assume is a mixed game.
Input?
It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

Been there a bunch of times. Games are soft. Bunch of idiots who don't know how to play and it gets frustrating. Haven't played there in a while, but I doubt much has changed.
I have had Issues with credit cards in Europe
Poto is the shit... they almost always have a 5/5 pl omaha game going which is surprisingly soft and gets pretty deep
Other than that its 3/5 nl

Yup, spot on. "frustrating" sums it up. I said fuck it and stopped going there. I played there a number of times but haven't been in there in at least 5 years. It seemed as though that it didn't matter what amount I bet...half the table would call anyway. For reference I think it was 2/5nl and the max buyin at the time (again i think) was 400 or 600.
IMO, Statistically though a good player with a big enough roll would/should be able to do well at these tables if they spent enough time.
a little confusing to me how any serious poker player would ever complain about playing against terrible players
seems to me that is pretty much the most accurate definition of 'optimal conditions'
If that's true, why not just wait until you flop something very hard to crack like a set or straight, and go all in?

sorry i didnt respond sooner - computer kept locking up and had to switch
That is a very good question though and you are right. I did precisely this however on a majority of the occasions i visited. For reference I went there maybe 12-15 times total. I shit you not, if I for example had a set, somebody had a better set or a straight by the time the rest of the cards ran...nearly every fucking time. Im saying, if it was a 9 person table, more than half would call anything anytime. Yes, on every day of the week, this should have been gold for me or anyone else. But Gordmans luck apparently dictated that somehow someway someone would luckbox their way through it. Yes, I did screw up though; My flaw was that I just didn't bring a big enough roll with me and stay long enough; I would bring approx $1k-$1.5k with me. What can I say, I was an idiot structuring it like that - im certainly not perfect.
I think the complaint is the variance is too high due to the terrible players. So essentially he was playing above his roll.
But perhaps it also was the only game in town....so he'd prefer a tight 2/5 NL game that would better suit his style and bankroll.
Well yes, this was the only game in town - at least to my knowledge at the time anywayI think the complaint is the variance is too high due to the terrible players. So essentially he was playing above his roll.

ty simp
Well ya if the players are that bad borrow some from a friend, take 50% of your own action, etc, etc.

Tyde with all this poker talk going on you really should take down a big tourney.
I "get" this point of view a little better then most. The 5-10 NL with 100-300 buy in at my local card room in south Florida is one of the best games I have ever played in. I try to keep a running blog about some of the ridiculous hands I play and see there in the poker news part of this site. Now with that being said you will go through streaks where variance just kicks you in the balls. You get it in 5 times with Q-Q and get called by 7-7 and A-J and the set or ace hits. Obviously if you are objective you would pay someone to run that same hand 100 times with you, but the night when you fire four/five bullets Into the game and you keep losing your 80/20's as well as the flips it can drive a player nuts.

not really into poker right now
other things going on
not exactly a 'steady' type of player anyway...never have been really
it's important for me to enjoy playing and be 'hungry' for chips
if I play too much I just get flat, burned out, and almost lose interest altogether in the game and start making poor decisions
I tend to win in streaks
be back grinding more often in a few weeks maybe
Shut it down troll you dont play pokerBeen there a bunch of times. Games are soft. Bunch of idiots who don't know how to play and it gets frustrating. Haven't played there in a while, but I doubt much has changed.
Pokergod on full forum tilt.
I don't think he meant it's annoying playing with bad players. Moreso hates playing with "how much can we bet?" types.
This dude has some fucking balls doesn't he Tyde? Sitting here galevanting all over the fucking USA, blowing money like it is going out of style after ripping off a well respected member of this community.

I mean really? Guy has fucking wife, kids, gambling debt and like the true n-word that he is, he is "blowing off" all his responsibilities to go jerk his friends off and donate money he **allegedly** doesn't have....in MILWAUKEE of all fucking places??
