CBG Poker Club

[CBG]

I know I'll never forget when I had pocket aces with an ace and 2 kings on the board and the guy next to me had pocket kings. That was a live game and about a $300 pot in a $20 game. Lol. Stuff occurs. That's poker.

Around here, I'd welcome that scenario, and I'd pocket quite a bit of money from the bad beat jackpot in the process.

here bad beat is quads over quads/S-flush, or S-flush over S-flush

Depends where you play around here. You can find Aces full of Tens beaten and then it works its way up.

Its that way at Harrahs, its the only place I really play now a days, but they do have "aces cracked" now... 1st like 5 pairs of pocket aces a day beaten get 200$... there are 6 casinos in the area, 4 have poker, Harrahs is the only one worth a crap

Whenever we're down there, we always get a car and make the casino rounds. For some reason we always win at Casino Queen and Ameristar and then bring it back to Harrah's to lose.

If I didn't love Harrah's so much, we'd probably crash at Ameristar.

The last time we were down there (or maybe two trips back), we tried to go to the dumpy casino on the water, but they closed it down between visits. We were crushed because they had some old school games you can't find around here anymore. Was kind of neat though because there was flooding going on.

Although, we paid to park in the lot across the street, walked to the casino and were told they were closed, and were out the $5 or whatever it was for parking.

that was the admiral, its gone now, but that use to have poker like down in the basement back in the day... it was like a high class hangout, back in the 60s 70s when E. st. louis was a affluent nice area

Casino Queen supposedly has the highest payout slots in the entire USA

River City is the newest one

I live like 15 mins from Argosy Alton Belle, its ghetto, lol

Is that one a ways from Harrah's STL? I think we originally had a list of the six closest casinos to visit (I just Googled the closest ones I could find) and then we've stuck to that list ever since (I even have the directions memorized from Harrah's).

That means that I don't think we have been to River City (unless that's Lumiere), so I guess my list needs updating.

Scare - Do me a favor and send me a PM of casinos within a reasonable distance from Harrha's so we don't miss any on our next trip down there!
