Go get a drink, chill, walk around, then go to another table and do the same thing. Mind you, I violate that rule all the time. A convivial table, friendly dealers, the idea that the dice will STAY hot... all conspire to make me violate that rule. But when I stick to it, I usually win. (By the way, Beau, I finally posted my trip reports in that section, though there's not too much about Vegas in there).

LOL Good job Joe, you are where the money is at. PS.. I am playing in an on line tournament right now... I'm 5 hrs into it. We started with 1459 players and are down to the last 175 of us. Buy in -- $ 400 First place is 114k!!!!!!! You need to get to 110 place to get $600 back. After that the prize money goes up.

If I fold when he bets I would have made another $250 by just sitting there another few minutes. First really bad read in 7 hrs. But that's no limit hold em. Screw this political talk... I'm starting a gaming section.
