I haven't been serious about poker at all since I entered the first professional year of pharmacy. Course load is intense and leaves very little time for my hobbies. Have yet to read through King Yao's poker book and the NL book by Angel. I plan on getting through those during spring break at the earliest.
Went to Atlantic City during winter break courtesy of my girlfriend. We stayed at the Tropicana for a night. I was nervous before leaving for AC, but I talked to tony via the BTP forum and he got me relaxed...told me the low limit game is cake over there. I brought $300 and started playing on the $1/$2 LHE tables. I was worried at first because I know I had extensive knowledge of short-handed (6max) LHE, but I've never really played full table LHE, but once I sat down I just started killing the game. I played from about 5-8pm, took a dinner break with the girlfriend, then played on from about 10-3am. Played an early morning session before hitting the road to go back home
...and left with about +$450.
I only played for about 14 hours and I could not believe how right Tony was.
I absolutely killed the limit game. definitely a confidence booster and a very good experience for my first time in a Casino.
Went back about a week later with some of my boys and I lost about $150 at the LHE $1/$2 tables learned a lot about the importance of table selection that night. Initially I had sat down at a slow table, just getting blinded off and losing a lot of small pots that dwindled my stack down. Decided to sit in at the adjacent table and started to get my swerve on, ran up my stack to about +$50. But after a short dinner break I sat down at this loose-aggressive table and just could not win out the pot. There would be so many people who would come cold calling pre-flop 3 bet raises and it was just ugly. My pride got the best of me and I decided that i would try and score a winning session on this particular table even though these players just wouldnt fold.
but we went back the next day and we tried playing $1/$2 No-Limit Hold'em. At the end of the night I cashed out +$200.
so all in all, I love Atlantic City. For my career of 3 visits I am sitting at +$500
