Sams Town Las Vegas???

Do they have a poker room?

YES, and was one of their best regulars for years(lived one mile away).

Thanks Fishy, I figured you would have the info.

Very nice room..........and many promos.




FREEROLL every weekend for regulars

Good Tourneys

24/7 GOOD action

Free giveaways(toolsets, clothing, etc., etc)

Food comps

Friendly staff and regulars

I'm going out to Vegas with 3 buddies early next month. They love to play poker and I didn't want to go to a casino without a room especially offstrip. They don't want to pay to much for a room so that is why I'm looking off strip.



I will probably be broke after the first night so I guess I can go to the movies for the other 3 days.

Your making me homesick with this thread.

Wish I was still there and would hit the pokerroom/sportsbook with you all and show you a few inside tricks of making dough there.

and they have a great steak house also. Cant remember the name, but man can I remember the steaks.

A couple of years ago I was staying there and fishhead got me hooked on video poker through this site. I had a $15 ticket in my pocket and was going to cash it out but the line was too long. Stuck it in the triple play machine figuring I would lose it quick and not have to stand in that long line. I hit max bet not noticing what game was currently on the screen. It was called super aces or something like that. I was pissed for a second as I was going to play bonus poker. First deal I get 4 aces on the bottom line. Not sure how good it was but figured in a game called super aces it had to be pretty good.

I still laugh about the lady playing the machine next to it. She bitched from the time I hit it until the runner came to pay me. "First damn pull, Ive been here for 7 hours and nothing and you dont even know what the hell you are doing....."

One of my best trips. Love Sam's

Are you considering moving back inlight of the recent offshore situation?

Well, when compared to 3 months ago..............certainly more so.

However, still a huge underdog of doing so.

BILLY BOBS. YES!!!!! And save room for the chocolate cake. I just had dinner and I'm getty hungary. And yes the Italian place was very good also. Ate way too much fresh baked breads though.

• 36,000 ÷1000 = $36 cash back or
• 36,000 ÷ 600 = $60 in complimentaries

What does a half kill mean in poker?

GREAT GAME........


It is another variation for Hold'em and Omaha 8/b fans. If you want to spice up the game, try out Kill or Half-Kill versions. Basically, the game stakes increase when someone wins two qualifying hands in a row. These are very popular games, but can be a bit confusing so let's take a look at how this all works.

To Kill or Not To Kill
To play it successfully, you need to understand what a 'kill' is and why it happens. The 'kill' is a two-step process. First, someone has to win a pot outright (they take all the money - no split pots or side pots). And the total amount of the pot (before rake is taken) must be equal to or greater than 5 times the big blind for the game. For example, in a $2/$4 game the big blind is $2 so the pot would have to be at least $10 (5 x $2 = $10) for it to qualify. If this happens, the winning player gets a button in front of his or her position. This is the 'partial kill' button. To receive a 'partial kill' button in Omaha 8/b, the player must scoop the pot (in other words win both the high and low hands). Some call it a 'half-kill' but that's just too confusing; we'll address that later.
The 'partial kill' button signifies that if this player wins the next hand we might have a Kill game and the stakes will go up! But for that to happen the player must win the pot outright, and the amount must be at least 5 times the big blind, just like they did before to get the partial kill button. If this happens we have a Kill game and the stakes go up. So hang on!
Let's stick with the example from above. It's a $2/$4 game and you just won your second qualifying pot. The small blind posts $1, the big blind posts $2, and you - as the kill blind player - post $4. Because you already have $4 posted, the minimum call amount is now $4. Even if you are the small blind or big blind, you still post $4 and the other players must at least call $4 to stay in. It's important to know that you act in turn, as in any other game (some cardrooms make the Kill blind the last to act). The rest of the hand plays as a $4/$8 game. This continues until the player with the Kill button does NOT win the entire qualifying pot. When the Kill game is not in effect, the stakes revert back to their regular levels. And, if no one has the partial kill button, it resides in the middle of the table.

Half-kill Equals Little Kill?
UltimateBet offers 'Half-Kill' games as well. They play exactly like Kill games, but the stakes don't increase a full amount; they increase a half amount instead. We know, it's so obvious! So a $2/$4 game plays as a $3/$6 game when the 'Kill' is active. And that's why we use the term 'partial kill' to describe the first step, instead of 'half-kill'. Some also use the phrase 'first leg' to refer to this. We offer a 'Half-Kill' game in Hold'em as well as Omaha 8/b.
Regardless of what you call it, these games add an additional level of fun and excitement to your favorite games. Try them out!

If a player wins two hands in a row he posts a blind bet for 1.5 times small bet.

If I win two hands at stakes are 4-8 I post 6 bucks and for that hand the game is 6-12.

Thanks guys.

very nice place and i live 2 miles away, like fish said great poker and sports book
