Casino gambling fall in here!!!

If you are playing a normal poker game or taking part in a poker tournament, whereby all players pit against one another, skilled and experienced players always prevailed. However, poker games, be it Texas Holdem, or 5 cards poker played in Casino is very different from the normal poker game played among friends or a group of players. As you and other players at the table only played against the dealer (House), or simply, it pits each player against the dealer, there is no way for you to bluff, and there is also no need for you to read the facial expression of the other players or the dealer in this case.
In casino poker, you play for table stakes. This means that you play with the chips that you have on the table. You’re not allowed to go into your pocket for more money in the middle of a hand. I would say luck is the most important factor in Poker games played in Casino, coupled with your decision making.

Yes, I was referring to the poker at RWS where we (individual) vs house. Not those hold'em player vs players type. so no bluffing or skills, so mostly is luck + good go/fold decisions (sorry, should've clarified this in my post :o )

Btw, I happen to run into this same Indian fellow (fold before flop) when we played at the same table last weekend. He told me his fold b4 flop was his own superstitous when he got dealed certain cards he don't like, not a rational decision or taking any advantage.

Gambling is an interest. From playing stocks to casino gambling.

Stocks is less risky and the returns are quite good also. Casino gambling is play within means, don't play until have to borrow or no money to feed family. Do it moderately and it will be ok.

Problem gambling affects only a small percentage of those who visit casinos. Not like 50% of those who visit casino will have this problem. If this percentage is so high, China and US would be finished by now with the country full of bankrupts from the casinos they opened in Macau and Las Vegas.

I am on a run of 5 straight loss days, but it doesn't really matter because I have been on 5 straight winning days before too. No one can win every day. Just that when we lose, don't keep going and fighting.

Bro Silverfox,

I have been reading your posting about real life gambling experiences from page one and found it to be of absolute truth. This is who i was exactly ten years ago, who is on a final university year and also an emotional gambler who keep losing money and almost ruined myself of getting a degree.

I remembered in year 2000 one of my uni mates told me, getting a degree is worth a toilet paper. How true is that I can only comment that in university we are being taught theories from text books and very little practical experience. And sometimes I just wish that this year is 2000 rather than 2010.

I said this becoz back in year 2000 I only know how to play roulette and not baccarat or blackjack. And of course I lost everything. Reading your experiences has made me realized my past mistake and how immature and naive I was that time.

If only this is year 2000 perhaps I could make correction and start making real money off casino slowly and steadily by following your advice and tips. Unfortunately I read your postings on the wrong time. Back in year 2000 forums are very limited. People only start to play sms, chat in ICQ or MIRC.

What I am trying to say here is real life experience is all that matters in life, be it love, career, marriage, and even gambling. If you ask me to choose between theories and real life experiences, I think, after 10 years getting a degree sounds no meaning to me. You cannot get all of this in real life from what you have mentioned.

I must confess your advice and tips are something priceless, that money cannot buy. For me you are an enlightened gambler who is not selfish to share your knowledge with other members of this forum. This is what I called knowledge charity. I truly learnt a lot from that and I would like to give big thanks for your dedication.

I, too, support your idea of charity giving. My birthday is coming soon. Instead of celebrating my birthday I decided to do some donation to the needy, not from the gambling profits as I have not bet in casino for 10 years and lost horribly during that time but from my hard earned money.

I feel that celebrating my birthday is not really that important and as an ordinary human I just want to help as much as I can to lessen their burden and suffering by giving donations.

It's kinda funny too u know I only login back to this forum after one year. You want to know why?

I almost want to bet roulette using the martingale system last year in online casino. Very nearly want to deposit money oredi, luckily got one spin that goes beyond 20 spins and in the end I lost all my capital while playing in the free account.

So, you are rite, martingale system is not reliable and make you lose all the money in the end. Luckily that is a free practice account. So I was saved I got sick of this and decided to leave gambling for good.

Before I conclude, I just hope that one day i can master the art of mental calmness like what you do, not necessary for gambling but also in real life situations. I look forward to read more of your postings in the near future.

But there's no different if you fold or not, you can continue with the game without increasing your bet leh.

But there's no different if you fold or not, you can continue with the game without increasing your bet leh.

This is how Texas Hold'em Poker is played in Casino:

1. To start playing, each player puts up an ante wager, says $25.00 and has the option of putting up a bonus jackpot wager as well. 


2. Each player and the dealer are dealt two cards, face-down. These are the "HOLE" cards.


3. If you want to play your hand, you put down a bet that's exactly twice the amount of your ante. In other words, if your ante bet was $25 and you want to play, you have to put down exactly $50. If you decide not to play and fold, you lose your ante bet of $25.00.

4. The dealer deals three cards face-up in the center of the table. This is also known as the "flop". These three cards are community cards.

5. Players now have the option to bet again, and can only bet the same amount as the ante (so if the ante was $25, the bet is $25 this time). Or players can check, which means they don't bet. You don't have to bet -- you get to keep playing whether you bet or check.

Thus, there is a different here, if you fold b4 the flop are dealt, you only lose the Ante of $25. But if decided to bet b4 the flop is dealt, you need to place $50 bet, which means you stand to lose $75 if your HOLE Cards are not so strong.

When the 4th Card (TURN) is dealt, then the player again has the option to bet or to check, which means he can continue playing without placing any bet.

I play Poker very often in RWS.
It is not advisable to fold unless your luck is at the bottom at that day.
I have encounter a few times, you tend to get better hand when u fold. Worst is you win jackpot while you fold. I saw a few times people hit jackport with hand like 2 and 5.
Advise is to start with $300 or $400, if you lose you should not continue as it is not you day. If you hit bonus and win, continue until your luck slow down. sometimes you can win 5 to 6k within half and hour.
Another advise is you must dare to increase the stake when the banker's luck is at the bottom.
If you can afford to lose and play for fun, you bring about 1500 capital and you can enjoy for whole day even u lose..

 

[samcw2]

Yes, agreed.

Winner in the limelight.

CARRYING two suitcases stuffed with $7 million cash winnings from Marina Bay Sands, South Korean Kim Wooyeong was stopped at the airport and arrested for failing to declare the money he was taking out of the country.

It turned out that his uncle, an agent for casino patrons in Macau, had won the sum here with his friends and then asked Kim to bring the money back to Macau on Aug 24.

On Tuesday, the 28-year-old nephew was fined $30,000 for what is believed to be the biggest amount to date to be carried over the border. A district court heard that anyone moving $30,000 or more, or its equivalent in a foreign currency, must submit a report at a checkpoint. Failure to do so could mean the maximum $30,000 fine and/or up to three years in jail.

A district court heard that aviation security officer Eugene Lim, 35, stationed at the Budget Terminal at Changi Airport became suspicious when the X-ray screening machine showed that Kim's two briefcases were packed with wads of paper. A physical check was then carried out and officers found a total of $7.027 million in the bags.

aiyah. Now that they established the tax rate - $30k. Quite easy for pple to launder money leow.

Not so easy. They countercheck with casino. Also if let's say you changed tonnes of chips on the table and after betting a while and want to leave and change the chips into cheque issued by casino, they will go through the cctvs as well.

This is what I experienced in Genting malaysia, they make sure you really win that much before you can say you wish to cash out in cheque issued by casino. To leave Malaysia, must declare if carrying more than 10KUSD

If they did not win that much, they would think of other charges in addition to the declaration penalty.

Was at Resort World yesterday, still super crowded!!!

Resort World have a headstart in getting more members because of their casino in Genting Malaysia. Members can just bring their card over and the points can also be converted.

2nd reason, those who signed up annual pass will sign up with RWS 1st. Thus more people will be around RWS than MBS.

That's why Sands delay in opening though they won the tender 1st proved to be the difference between them and Genting. Furthermore, Genting have more experience in the Asian market as can see that Sands start to add in popular games like 3 picture, pontoon (games avai at RWS) which are not present when the casino just opened.

However when the annual passes of those who 1st signed up with RWS ends, wait to be seen how RWS will try their best to retain them. :p

Yes, I also signed up with them because they started operations first.

So far have been to both IRs, still prefer gaming at RWS. Heard that Sands gave out free hotel stays for members etc, nothing from RWS for me.

Only thing I get is the free parking!!! :p

Let's see when my annual pass about to expire will they offer me more perks! :p
