Default Re: Ran into Zoebaboe at a poker table in Vegas

I only played one night because we were with a bunch of friends and I didn't want to be antisocial. I played in a $60 NL tourney with a $40 rebuy during the first hour. There were about 100 people and I was out in 62nd place. I was pretty nervous because I thought I would feel like an amateur but I was totally fine. There were a LOT of people doing stupid shit, playing out of turn, forgetting the blinds etc.

After I busted out of the tourney I played at a $100 min buying NL table, 1/2 blinds, where I saw Zoe. I left with about $350. There were a few rocks and a few donkeys at the table and it was VERY easy to just play somewhere in the middle and pickup pots. There was another woman at my table who was horrible and bought in several times for a few hundred bucks. She was teasing me about playing so few hands, lol

Kevin played at the Wynn with a bit higher stakes, I think $200 buying and 2/5 blinds. He said it was like taking candy from babies. My general impression is that the poker boom has created a lot of people who just want to play for fun and have no idea what they are doing. If I had more time I think I could have easily made a few grand just playing basic poker.

By the way, the Wynn is GORGEOUS and has a really nice poker room. The table games had pretty high minimums but the poker games were reasonable.
