..come back for updates...Do you gamble for the overall fun of it, or do you really enjoy the danger and anticipation when you get down to your case bet?
The case bet is one of my favorite casino terms and means the same thing as being down to the felt. If you play poker, I'm sure there are plenty of times when you have been all-in with every chip you have in the pot. That's really an interesting feeling, isn't it.
If you don't have the nuts (unbeatable hand), then there is that roller-coaster ride feeling in your stomach that makes the anticipation of the turn of the next card a lifetime in itself. Crazy!
For me, that's the point I'm always trying to get to. I want to have all my money in action when I know I've got a nice edge. At blackjack, that comes when I manage to get a good bet out and can split my aces, or when I've got a double down 11 and the dealer has a 6 showing.
Nick The Greek said the only thing better than gambling and winning, was gambling and losing, because he just wanted the action. For me, I want as much action as possible, but only when I have the edge!
As for the case bet term, it comes from the Old-West game of faro. The case-keeper used an abacus-like device to keep track of the cards played. Players looked carefully at this device before making their last bet of the deck - their case bet.

Goodbye Amarillo Slim!

Goodbye Amarillo Slim Preston! You will be greatly missed by the poker community.
Amarillo Slim, World famous gambler, 83, died overnight in hospice care in Amarillo. He leaves a legend bigger than Texas when it comes to tall tales and tall mountians of chips he won in poker games, ping pong matches, pool halls and dance halls. The man never met a bet he didn't want to find a way to win. He bet on everything and anything, as told in his memoir, Amarillo Slim In a World of Fat People.
A long-time pool hustler and poker player (who partnered with Sailor Roberts and Doyle Brunson in the 1950's), Slim was well known in the poker world when he won the WSOP Championship in 1972. He wasn't known much beyond the Texas circuit of poker games and Las Vegas, however. But after the championship win, the never-at-a-loss-for-words Preston became a favorite on TV shows after stories of his championship ran in Parade magazine, which was inserted in millions of Sunday newspapers across the country.
Afterwards, Preston was a regular on The Tonight Show and was seen on 60 Minutes, Good Morning America, To Tell The Truth and even What's My Line. He was colorful, brash, funny, and a perfect ambassador for the poker world. He will be missed.
This year's WSOP starts on Sunday May 27, 2012 with the 0 entry Casino Employee, No-Limit Hold'em tournament. It's a great kick-off for the summer.
Besides the WSOP, I'll be heading to Lake Tahoe for a few weeks of R&R, and maybe back east for the Atlantic City Food and Wine Festival. If you haven't been to Caesars Entertainment's properties during the last week of July to drink down your share of the wine and feast on dozens and dozens of food station goodies, you just don't know what you are missing.
The festival starts July 26.............don't miss out!

A Day in Prescott, Arizona
Photo Courtesy (Shannon Moe)
The Yavapai casino is a tiny spot along highway 69 (1505 East), but big brother Bucky's at the top of the hill includes a 162-room resort with a nice mixture of slots and table games.
Prescott is about an hour and a half from Phoenix. If you travel along US highway 17 to Flagstaff it's a half-hour drive in along Arizona Highway 69 or 169 to the town.When you get there you can have a nice sandwich at Bucky's Cafe for .99 (with a player's club card) and then wash it down with drafts.
Once slated, you can head to the pit and play a little blackjack for as little as two-bucks a hand. Yeah, that's the Old West!
Bucky's also features a spacious poker room on the third floor. If you're in town, take a drive over to the casino and check it out. The games are lively and friendly. Expect the Texas Hold'em games to be /6.

Trio charged in bomb scare diversion at Cactus Petes
JACKPOT, Nev. -- Three Idaho residents are in the Elko County Jail after a bomb scare incident at Cactus Petes casino in Jackpot, Nevada Wednesday.
As a Last Resort - Hire An Expert
I spent some time today with Bill Zender, gaming consultant and previous co-owner of the Aladdin casino in Las Vegas. After several decades working in the casino industry and writing books, Bill spends most of his time doing private consulting and seminars for gaming managers. His firm, Bill Zender and Associates and Last Resort Consulting have developed a strong reputation as more than a last resort; they teach all types of gaming protection, but specialize in the finer points of card counting and advantage play. That's something he knows very well after working as a dealer, learning to count cards, and spending hundreds of hours practicing and playing.
Bill learned early how much you can make counting cards, and realized that for his bankroll size there was more money on the casino side of the table teaching casino owners how to protect their most precious assets, their bankrolls. I was surprised when he said he felt there are less than 100 truely professional card counters who spend all of their time playing blackjack now in the US.
He bases this on several issues, but I have to agree with him that many card counters moved over to the poker rooms when the boom started in about 2003. For ex-counters there is something quite refreshing and relaxing about playing in a game where you don't have to worry about being thrown out for exhibiting skill.
Ace TrackingZender also feels that most of the remaining counters have moved on to forms of advantage play (to earn even more money than they ever could following the count) such as ace tracking, a system of following clumps of cards that include one or more aces and taking advantage of poor shuffling techniques by sloppy dealers. This type of advantage play may be overlooked by casino floor supervisors because the trackers' large bets often take place on the first hand of a deck or shoe. Otherwise, the large bets may involve spreading to two hands in what appears to be a random fashion in the middle of a shoe. Clearly not moves made by a card counter.
Of course if you can manage to play as a competent card counter at the same time you are tracking aces and playing perfect basic strategy, well, that's the old triple threat. You'll have to master each phase of your blackjack play individually, but if you learn any part of it you'll likely retain it your whole life and will only need a few minutes retraining before you hit the tables in the future. It can certainly be rewarding, if you have the desire, drive, and the ability!
