My annual trip to casino last week.

I usually visit a casino once a year. Ive decided after my last trip that I'd rather spend my time at the Craps Table and the BlackJack tables rather than the poker tables.

Went to West Virginia last week to the Tri-State Casino. The poker room had only NL tables and one omaha table to play on. Everyone was so serious and arrogent with there play that it just really brings down a vacation. I broke even for the trip but decided Ill leave the poker to Online.

Im sure for the regulars at a casino that its more of a grind and a money making task for them. But as for me if Im on a two day vacation and Im going to the loudest table in the casino (when it's rolling good)... The Craps table.

Dont get me wrong. I still love poker but I think you have to know where your nich is and for me it's not live.

What stakes where they playing ?

Tourists don't play online and they are the #1 source of income for me on weekends at the casino... I love the rec players who don't really know the game, and the older citizens who have a very nice retirement fund... A few hundred bucks does not phase them, week by week :-)

I was playing the $1/2 NL with a max of $200 buy-in. The only other choice they had other was 2/5 and then 2/5 Omaha

why not go to the harrahs up there in nc... i believe its a harrahs

Actually from where I am in NC. It's only about 15 to 20 minutes longer to get to WV casino. Plus I dont think Cherokee casino has poker and there blackjack tables are digital, not actual cards and dealers.

Yes, it's a harrah's. I've been a couple of times but never to play poker there. I usually go up there with my wife to play a few slot machines. Pretty nice casino though.

I actually enjoy the casino games when the young fellows who play the freerolls online come figuring there going to clean up and you take their $100 in the first 1/2 hour and go away with their long faces. Wouldn't normally get much pleasure in this because it is quite enjoyable being around the tables and chillin out, but they seen to come in all arrogant and full of themselves. Makes me smile.
