Went to Hustler
Casino for the first time this month...not sure why I waited so long, it's a great
cardroom, and the play was typical - WEAK! Sat down with $100, and walked out with over $400 in about
3 hours. It's a very nice
casino, pretty small but comfortable. Check out our full review of
Hustler Casino here.
Pretty
light on the online poker play this month, I'm really starting to enjoy the home games.
Most of my friends are getting into poker, and becoming very good players, so our home
games are getting very competitive. There's nothing like hanging out with your friends, putting down beers and
cocktails, and playing a high
level game of
no limit Texas hold'em.
Spotting poker tells is one of the things I'm really trying to learn and utilize. This is one of those
facets that you can't practice by playing online. It's a whole game within a game and a lot of fun too! The story in this
Poker Tells essay
comes from the
home game mentioned below.
