A short article for an update on the casino poker Uriage. The multiple sessions I've done it a little more than a year prompted me to open this blog. What about today?
Today, the desire to go play in Uriage is becoming increasingly rare. I stopped up there regularly on November 23. Since I did 3 sessions during the holidays with a session to € -1,104 Jan. 1. I then did a session to -600 € on March 6. Finally, I did a session at € 38 last Saturday (March 21). And to be honest, I did these sessions to get used to only Full Ring casino before heading out to Las Vegas next month. The
January 1 was a clear day "without". Bad set-ups, small bad beats, errors on my part, etc. ... I decided to persist despite the first two cellars lost because the table was too beautiful (lots of money, big pots, lower level than usual ...). So I lost a minimum wage in one night and I still had trouble cashing it. I was not so directly affected (I have never anxious or anything) but I completely lost the urge to cut back the casino. However, the change in short-term results should not influence my decisions ...
But I am a human being and motivation escapes me for a while ... While I thought I could turn back playing because I still have an edge on most players but without motivation, the fact of returning to play for me to do violence ... I had force. And I really did not want poker to become a chore, a job I have to do even if I do not want ... Poker should remain a hobby that I practice primarily to please me.
But from the perspective of my trip to Las Vegas, I am still determined to force my hand a little bit to reconnect with a full-ring game casino. Not playing almost exclusively on the net in HU, I was afraid to find myself in Vegas on tables that I can not control ...
That's why I got in Uriage Friday, March 6. I sit on a table by promising to take a serious poker. There were two great players at this table and one of them had the better of me. He attacked all flops pots I had raised pre-flop. It took me a sizeable pots twice before I cracked the third time. I decided to raise (carpet) with his new attack gutshot + two over-cards for I did not believe at all. But he caught me with two well pairs. Turn and river did not save me, I lose two wineries in 2:30 game and I decided to go home.
Also in the same vein (get used to the game in a casino), I decided to go to Uriage this Saturday, March 21. I wonder about "300" (2-4 blinds, mini wine cellar to 300) and begins to play. Success will there throughout the session by returning including two color prints in pots quite significant. Unfortunately, I lose the benefit in different moves. Yet the moves that I'm sure I selected but I broke my teeth every time.
For example, when we migrated to a table to "100" (2-4 blinds, mini wine cellar to 300) in the late evening, I raise
Hi Jack in a very passive table. I am paid to the button by a pretty good player but has a very wide range to return the blows. It is capable of making big laydown. A player in the blinds joins us and the flop comes 
. The first player to check, I put a little more than half the pot, the call button, the other fold. Turn: 
. I check, check it after reflection. I think he has a lady. River: 
. A good card to turn my hand to bluff because I think a player without problem FolderA a lady (even AQ). I put in 140 € 72 € just to say "i want you to call me" and he begins to think for a moment before paying with 
. Damage.
Comments are welcome of course (my preflop raise is also questionable with such a player who has position on me).
short, I ended the session marginally positive but a session largely Winning would not refuse to regain some confidence ...
This small break in my sessions casino cash game allowed me to think a little. In speaking with other players, I came to wonder if I could still have a positive expected gain casino Uriage. First, we must know that the rake taken by the French casinos has no equal on the net or in Las Vegas ... Rake is set at 4% not capped. The level required to beat these tables is greater than what we may need to be a winner on the net or in the casinos of Las Vegas (10% rake capped at $ 4). Add to this the fact that the level players to increase significantly over the last 6 months, I wondered if I could still hope to make money on the tables there. The answer is far from clear ...
But I think having the level necessary to be a winner, but the margin is lower than before. The variance is then stronger .... In short, it will not be easy ...
Otherwise, I'm off to Las Vegas in 3 weeks. We are 8 to leave and we will be blogging about our adventures tumultuous ... :
