If anyone is wondering, Live is open, despite what bravo says.

are there any facebook groups that discuss mgm/Live/Horseshoe casinos in general (not just poker)?
Facebook search turned up nothing

I was always told that the mini bad beat could not occur with trip aces on the board.
Has that rule changed?

that is correct. You must have at least 1 ace in your hand for the bbj.

However, you can hit the high hand with trip aces on the board.
ie: AAAxx and you had 22

Thinking in going to play some live NL 1-3 for first time but heard players are rude and have attitude with newbies, is that true?

You should be fine. Like anywhere else, you have some jerks but many people are nice. Tell the dealer you are new and they will look out for you (and many players will try to help out with mechanics when they realize you are new to casino poker). They have good staff and floor people that can help also. Throw the dealers a buck or two when you win a hand. Main thing to remember is to carefully look at your card making a tent with your hands so no one can see them and if in doubt verbalize your action so everyone knows what you’re doing. Good luck.

If anyone is rude just tell them to piss off. That way I will know who you are so I can buy you a beer and give you a proper welcome. TIC.

Go have fun and welcome to the poker room.

Thanks guys for the help!

Always wanted to play semi serious, so when I decided it was time, the game was not what gets me worry, but how to fit in at the table without making a fool of myself is what gets me into all kinds of insecurities even though I’m a really confident person, playing live still carry’s a lot of respect for me.

GL. Have to say one heck of a profile bump. Three post in 30 minutes, nothing for almost ten years then pop, wake up that near decade sleeping profile. Mega props.

Lots of things happened in between that poker unfortunately, was not a priority.
But I’m settled now and ready to learn and get better.

Most people are nice, but there are definitely a few jerks in poker rooms too. The main advice I would give you as a new player is to watch out for "angles" of someone trying to take advantage of a new player. If you have ANY doubt at all about the action, ask the dealer.

Specifically angle shooting...

Quote:

Angle shooting is engaging in actions that may technically be within the scope of the rules of the game, but that are considered unethical or unfair to exploit or take advantage of another player. For example, an angle shooter might motion as if they were folding their hand to induce other players to fold theirs out of turn.

One form of angle shooting which is exclusive to online poker is to abuse the disconnect protection (DP) rules most sites have in place. DP is a rule exclusive to online poker whereby if a player is disconnected from the site in the middle of the hand their hand is played out as if they were all-in without the player actually having to put any more money in the pot. The online poker rooms that offer DP usually have specific tables set aside for this so that all players at the table are aware that the special DP rules will apply.[8]

How this is used by angle shooters is if a player is in a hand that they are unsure if they have the best cards and don't want to invest any more money to find out. They can unplug their internet connection and then wait for the hand to play itself out. On a DP table the remaining cards in the hand would be dealt and the pot would be awarded to the player with the best cards. If there were multiple opponents in the hand then they would be eligible for a side pot.[citation needed]

Another example is when a player says nothing when betting, pushes in a raise, then says he made an error (a/k/a "misclick") & meant to just call. The opposing player(s) may take this as a sign of weakness and then re-raise or simply call when they shouldn't, as the player may actually have "the nuts" (the best possible hand based on the cards in play). This could be done in reverse via a bluff by betting without announcing the bet & betting less than the minimum call, then when the underbet is realized by the dealer, the player can claim they thought they raised, but the player apparently miscounted and bet less than the required call, which is then required to be increased to become a call. This makes the player appear strong and may induce a fold to the player's weak hand.

Are the 1/3 games worth playing in for a short 3 hours session? Plan on stopping in Hanover overnight on my way to NJ and I've never played here before. Not a fan of playing a short session of 2/5 on purpose especially on a downswing and potentially a Sunday.

I do think the 2/5 players are some of the better ones around, compared to NJ and PA but the few times I played 1/3 the games were pretty tight with not too much action, but of course it's a small sample size. If it was me I would rather play 2/5 and nit it up for 3 hours - you can get stuck 400 in 1/3 on your first hand, you never know.

Haven't played in a few years and was thinking about going down to play in there 10k guarantee triple stack. Does anyone know how this tourny usually does? With a triple stack I would think it takes all night. It also has a format that I'm not familiar with using a big blind ante. That format didn't exist when I used to play. Any thoughts?

Big blind ante is used to speed up the game.

I saw on Bravo that this month's promos include $500 high hands to the top 20 high hands from 10am to 11am daily. That sounds like an interesting twist. Can anyone provide some details and an update how it is going? How fast do they open tables and seat people at 10am? What time do you need to arrive on a weekend to get seated by 10am? What is the minimum qualifying hand?

I was there on Saturday morning. I got there around 9:45. They just opened a new table so was immediately seated. I would say throughout the 1 hour period there wasn't too much waiting. They were opening tables ASAP. Lowest qualifying hand is Aces full of duces. Any aces full hand is a guaranteed high hand. There were only 3 high hands during the 1 hour period on Saturday. You would still need a lot of luck to get a high hand. It is a great promotion to get people to come in early and some will stay around to play after the promotion period is over.

Would have been cool if the minimum high hand was an A-hi flush or something. Yea, getting As full is still hard to do in a given hour. But at least if you get it, you're guaranteed a payout. So top 20 is kinda misleading, as it'll never get that many.
