So I am going to be going to vegas with my brother this coming weekend... and i got a question... I am only 20 years old, will it be easy for me to play some poker? I am going to use my brother's passport cuz he is only 2 years older than myself, so i hope that works, should i have any problems? And i play 200 nl, where should i find games that i should play in? I assume there is some Myth post about all this probably.

Anyway, I have been playing 200 nl the last two days.

I think the reason for these great results is three things in order:

1) BARELY ANY REGULARS - which play somewhat tricky and can outplay me in certain ways which sometimes leads me to tilt...
2) NO TILT - no regs, readable players, and running well
3) I'm getting better (hopefully, haha)

And oh yeah, what to do here 3 handed against Frinkx, i figure this river saved me or screwed me:

if your gonna call flop def gotta bet turn when checked to you...too many scare cards + he takes it away from you on river a lot of them time...and yea if you run well in 200nl such easy money...I dont think there are any 200nl regs I dont wanna play

aparently its np to play underage in vegas

just dont bring ID

if poker is dangerous to them i would rank sports betting as a Kodiak grizzly bear who smells blood after you just threw a javelin into his cub - RaiNKhAN
