New Year's Eve in Mesquite

At the Oasis casino in Mesquite, Nevada, revelers dressed in their finest holiday wear to participate in some great Texas hold'em action. Loose and tipsy, many players and newbies decided to try their luck. The action was fun, fast and furious. My $10-20 table was a blast. Often the pots were capped pre-flop, with eight or more players tossing in their chips. Every variety of hand was turned over at the showdown, with suckouts by players holding cards like 2-3 offsuit common. It was comical and reminded me of some of the Montana home games that I used to play. The dealers had to settle many trivial disputes because a lot of newbies didn't understand the rules or were unaware of common poker etiquette. Intoxicated gamblers chatted about their hands, played out of turn, exposed their cards, constantly rabbit hunted, and taunted the winners when they lost. It was a full-tilt, albeit profitable game. A true wild west experience. In 3 hrs. of play, I turned a $400 profit, taking advantage of the loose action. A nice way to end the year.

I believe 2005 will be a banner year for poker. New people, being curious about the game's popularity, will enter the fray for the first time. This rush will provide experienced players, such as myself to realize more profit. It's always great when you can make money from your hobby. I love to see new players at the table. They present constant challenges and create a healthy poker environment. I hope you all had as much fun as i did on New Year's Eve. May 2005 be a great year for you. If you're strictly an online player, consider trying out your skill in live casino action. You'll be surprised how good you really are. You've honed your skill from the many hours in front of the computer screen, and you won't take a back seat to anyone. Go for it! Good luck in 2005. See you online at Paradise Poker's Mesquite$ tourney or in my favorite live action poker room, The Oasis casino in Mesquite ,Nevada.
