Softest poker cash games

It will be a bit difficult to pinpoint where the softest poker games are in Las Vegas but going to the following places might help:

• Mandalay Bay – This is a good place to make some money. There are a lot of bad and drunk poker players here.
• MGM Grand –  The casino at MGM Grand is a magnet to tourists because of its proximity to the nightclubs. It is also a good place to play cash games.
• Imperial Palace – There are high rollers here, but go late and you will find intoxicated poker players. You can clean up their stack if you want.

Affordable poker tournaments

If you want to find out how you play in the real world of poker tournaments, you can first try at best value poker tournaments in these places:

• Mirage – They have a twenty table cardroom that runs an 11am and a 7 pm tournament. The best thing will be their Friday evening poker tournaments which you can get into for $150 giving you 7,500 chips.
• Orleans –  Poker players know that the Orleans has one of the best card rooms in Las Vegas. There are also daily tournaments which you can join for as low as $75.
• CityCenter – Their early afternoon tournament has a buy in of $120 where you get 8,000 chips. This may be the best buy in all of Vegas.

There is nothing that you can do. Bad beats really come in poker but what is important is how you go over the top of your frustration so that you play your next hand well.

Don’t bite the bait and try to recover the money you unjustly lost by doing stupid moves. You need to keep your head working. You have to get rid of they-win-rags-then-can-win-some-too attitude. You will just end up losing money. Lucky if you lose a few dollars but I got a friend who wasted $10,000 in a matter of six hours because of bad beats and he ended up chasing the money through the session.

How to overcome a bad beat?

There are just two solutions that we know off that really makes sense.

1. Take some break

This is the best way to get hold of your thoughts and over come a series of bad beats. You can take a few moments off or if you need several days to get it out of your system then that is what you should do. Taking a break will save you a lot of hard earned money.

Leaving the game does not mean you will not be able to recover the chips that you threw away. Cooling down will help you go back to your rational frame of thoughts. There will be another game after a few minutes, or maybe after a day or two, or maybe a week. You don’t have to hurry.

1. Setting Expectations

There are odds calculator that you can use so you know what pot equity you have. Let us say you are holding an Ace-Ace and then the pre-flop shows A-K, then you have a 90% chance of winning the hand. You also have to consider the 10% that you may lose the pot.

Bad beats will be there. Most of the time. Winners in the long stretch will really have to be familiar with them. I am pretty sure you will learn how to look bad beat on the eye. Give him that annoying smirk and make him run away.

OMG ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME HOW CAN THIS DONKEY PLAY THIS SO BAD WHAT A DONKEY OMG I WANTED TO SLAP HIM IN THE FACE BUT THE VENETIAN POKER ROOM STAFF DOESNT LIKE VIOLENCE THEY ARE PUSSIES.
