Answer by Padrefan
The biggest one is in Vegas, the WSOP.com site will give you all the details. Be careful, though, it’s a very addictive game, IMO.

Question by Glyn B: What poker site has the cheapest sit & go tournaments, and how much is the buy-in?
Paradise Poker has €2.20 buy-in, but that’s the only site I’ve used so far.
U.K.

Yeah, I thought it was a loss at the poker tables when the US Government passed that law, and I still think it.
So far, it looks like Pokerstars, with a $ 0.10 NL Hold’em buy-in, and no fee. Monday 06:00.
Correction, the above tournament is not Sit & Go, sorry.

Question by <3: Does Secrets Excellence-Punta Cana have slots or a poker room/casino?
What is there to do at this hotel? I am planning on going there for my honeymoon….do you guys recommend this place?
I would also like to know what there is to do at night….(bars, clubs, etc.) thank you

Best answer:

Answer by Happy Feet
The Secret Excellence is a good hotel/resort. I don’t know if they have a casino. But like all the hotels in PuntaCana/Bavaro outside there is not much to do, it is a bit isolated from next town (45 miles) so I think there is enough activities to do to keep you busy at night. Anyway congratulations and enjoy your honeymoon. Happy to help you

Question by B.A.Y.: What is the second slot in a casino poker table for?
I played my first casino poker game today, and in addition to the rake box, I noticed another slot in the table to the left of the dealer. Ever hand, she would deposit a chip in this slot. This was not the rake, and I never noticed whether the chip came from the pot or her till. Is this a way to count how many hands have been played at a table, and is this money comming from the pot, or just the dealer’s till?
It’s not the tip box either. I just thought of something. The casino has a bad beat jackpot. I bet it’s for that.

Best answer:

Answer by zman492
I think what you are describing is a tip box. The dealer is likely to collect tips in a specific place until the total is at least $ 5. The dealer will then color up $ 5 in tips and deposit a $ 5 chip in the tip box.

Question by Modern M: I lost , 000 playing online poker — What can I do?
I deposited $ 100, turned it into $ 300 then lost that. Then I won $ 2500 in a tournament and turned it into $ 3000 shortly after. Over the next 12hrs I ended up losing it all and now I feel shitfaced like never before.

I don’t know what I should do cuz this is putting me in a major slump but how can I handle this loss!?
It’s not fixed…obviously. I technically didn’t lose $ 100 (from my wallet, yes) because I had the chance to withdraw the 3g’s if I wanted to…
I don’t need to know to quit gambling and stuff, I’m looking for a way to deal with the slumps cuz this has got me lying in bed sick…I know I got a problem, I’m not in denial.
Thanks for the guy that covered the actual question of how to deal with myself from it. I was playing $ 10/20 Limit and to be honest I played solid…the guy was a major donk who would just raise/bet with nothing (at times he’d go to showdown for a $ 200 pot with jack high) but he got the best of me on about 15 rivers in the matter of half an hour and it killed my cash flow to the point where I started playing emotionially and went on “tilt”

I’ve recently been playing some of my strongest poker (hence my 2.5k win) but the fact that I lost 3k now makes things a lot messed up and I don’t know what to do. With the gambling mind I say I got to win it back somehow but…yeh

Poker isn’t 100% gambling but there is a gamble to it too.

Best answer:

Answer by †TheONeYourMotherWarnedYouAbout†
Technically you only lost 100 dollars. The rest you gave back to the site. Let it go, and stop gambling online…don’t you know that crap is fixed?

If you can’t stop doing it, and it is causing you grief about your choice not to take your winnings and leave, then its gambling. you took a $ 2900 windfall and gambled at the chance of making more. I know it takes skill to play poker, I have placed top 10 in WSOP events, but what you are doing is gambling, not skill. The real skill would have been to walk away with the $ 2900 a winner. This is the reason most pro poker players are able to make a living at it. They don’t gamble their winnings.

And there are bots that play on those sites, if you don’t know that just go to youtube and look up absolute poker. You will see how the CEO took down lots of people by being able to see all their cards. Online poker is illegal, therefore it is not controlled by anyone. If they didn’t pay you your winnings, just who would you call to complain? Do you think you could take them to small claims court? Do some homework and read up on it, then stop going to those sites with a vendetta to “win it all back”. You lost $ 100, and the sooner you see that the easier it will be for you to get past it.
