Do You Ever Set a Limit Before Playing at a Casino?

Just curious, do you guys usually decide how much you’re going to spend before playing, or do you just go with the flow? I think setting a limit beforehand makes sense, but I’d like to know what others do. 🙂

What's your biggest poker pet peeve?

So mine is guys tanking every street with middle pair (live too), it slows everything down bad!

That moment when it lands one number away

Had 26 a few times and it lands 25 or 27, does that mean im reading the wheel right

Lesser-known betting site

i'm at the point where all the usual books just blur together, and now i'm way more interested in the smaller sites nobody talks about until one of them turns out to be stupidly good! not even talking promo spam, i mean a place that had sol…

Cashback or deposit match?

I’m looking at two promos right now and can’t decide which is better for me. One is 10% weekly cashback (losses only), the other is a 100% deposit match up to 200 with the usual rollover. Does cashback usually work out better if you’re on s…

Yeah, more than once. I was at a blackjack table where the dealer kept making little jokes about how slowly everyone was choosing, and I stayed longer than I planned just to hear what he said next (the cards werent doing much for me). Most…

i think i’m officially done with turbo games

pretty sure turbos just aren't for me anymore. i've played a bunch with 3 minute blinds for a while now, and every decent starting stack seems to turn into shove or fold before i can get a real read on the table (maybe that's the whole poin…
