I sat at the $5 buy in hold-em table for 5 hours and left with 1200.00 in my pocket lol. Lost on the blackjack though. Just depends what game your better at.

^ just for the record, that table game is NOT Texas Hold'em....it's like playing Carribean Stud or something.... does it have the same name? Yes.

You up for some Winstar tonight B?

I was actually thinking about heading to Shreveport or maybe even New Orleans this weekend. I'm off all next week, feel the need for a road trip.

I was up there last weekend and managed to put in about 4 hours @ a 1-2NL table. It was alright. I was up and down all day though. I don't think I've ever played a "sit-n-go" at a casino. I think you've been playing online too much. Most tables are going to be a cash game, not a tournament. They do have tournaments, but I don't believe they have single table tournaments.

I ended up losing about $140 at poker and made $200 at blackjack. I still prefer Shreveport though cause I like to spend one evening doing nothing but drinking for free and playing slots with the gf.

i think he just does not know the terminology...

a cash game is just that, a cash game. each chip is worth it's face value in real money. you buy a chip stack and cash out whenever you want. what you turn in as far as chips is what you receive as far as cash...

a "sit and go" is a tournament. you buy in for a certain amount and get a chip stack. however, your chip stack will not match the amount you bought in for, i.e. a $100 buy-in tournament usually gets you a stack of $1500 tournament chips. you cannot cash out for the amount of your stack. the players are playing for all the chips and a prize pool is set for the top finishers...

as has been said, i have never seen a single table sit and go at a brick and mortar casino. when they have tournaments there are usually quite a few entries and at least 5 tables in play...

hope this helps with any confusion on the difference between a cash game and a sit and go...

I vote the Horshoe if anybody goes to Shreveport. The El Dorado just isn't the same since they moved the poker room and made it smaller a while back.
