so first off i wanna say iam 18 so the only way i could get to a casino was go drive to Quebec where that is legal. me and my friend went to Casino du Lac-Leamy and began by playing texas hold'em(obviously). it was strange at first because they got a new system of playing, instead of using real dealers they use electronic tables which let me tell you know is all rigged for rake... but in the end i did alright, first time playing lost 20, then put in 50 more then doubled up in no more then 20mins then after that i won a few 100 and basically blew it all in one night of partying, I HAD A HELL OF A GOOD TIME!!

haha for sure buddy, its worse then full tilt or any other online site, if one person has a monster hand everyone has a monster hand, and its not just every once in a while, its ever time, you have less of a chance of getting nothing then getting an amazing hand... but they had a few pros playing that i recognized from t.v but i don't remember their names... they played at min 500buy in max 10 000

In used to play lots of live poker in Dublin casinos. Once you get used to playing live in comparison to online it is much much softer. There are just so many retards out there. After having played for a couple of years, you will come to realise that the so-called sharks are mostly just wannabes with a massive ego. Most of them really have no clue how to play poker.
Getting used to live poker is just the challenge. It can be quite intimidating to a first-timer to sit down with 8 other players in a psychological war with only €200 and your wits to defend you lol! After a while you will just realise that most of these guys are retards though.
For example, I am not particularly good, but in a years play live I made roughly €10k from 1/2, 2/5 cash games and tournaments. Live players are much much worse.
There are no sharks live playing 1/2 or 2/5. If they were sharks they would play the same levels online instead of wasting their time plaing live where they will play 1/36th ot the amount of hands they would play online in the same time period and so make more money. Therefore, there are no sharks live. They just have the intimidation factor on their side.

Wow Frozen sounds like a blast.
I went to Vegas wen I was in my 20's and I took $500 with me but had my ATM card so planned on spending around $900.
I went to the BJ tables and took a $100 into $120 I know thats only $20 positive,but I was playing $1 bet a hand.
Then I went to the poker table I had no clue what to do. So that didnt go well wont go to deep in that part.
NExt I went to have dinner which I had one of those coupon books and a got a huge salad for only $2 usually was at $10. ( ill never forget how big that salad was )
Well I spent 3 days there ended up breaking even maybe a little up went to some shows ,traveled around, shopping, and hit it big with the BJ tables. end of my 2nd night I turned $50 into $500
