Observations From The Poker Tables of Shreveport

Here are my observations from this past weekends poker trip.
- I was lucky enough to be on a very kind table.
- It bugs me big time when people stay in and end up getting the cards they needed. Why does it bug me? Because they think they are a skilled poker player when all they really are is lucky.
- If it bugged me that much I guess I could have left the 4-8 Holdem and moved to either the 20-40 or no limit hold'em.
- What is the purpose of 1-2 no limit? Noone ever just post a 2 dollar big blind.
- The table I was on was great. If you showed respect to other players it was returned. Noone was out to hurt anyone. Raises were appropriate (minus lucky lady)and noone raised to just raise the pot.
- Example of respect- I got to talking to the guy next to me and I liked him. I had the hand won on the flop. He bet into me and I just called. On the turn he bet into me again! and I just called. Finally on the river he checked and I checked. After he saw my hand he said, WOw...you let me off easy. I told him I was there to have fun and not take anyones lunch money. That simpled act right there saved me at least a couple of hundred as the night progressed where he checked out to me.
= In Oklahoma Casino's the ASIAN is a big player in the poker rooms. Specifically the older AISAN.
-In Shreveport....not so much.
-The African American Male is a big player in the Shreveport poker rooms.
-The AA male dresses to the nines to go to the poker table. Very dapper.

Line of the night ( One gentleman was taking a long time to decide if he wanted to call an 8 dollar bet...like a real long time) This was the last bet and the guy had about 40 dollars invested in the pot.

After the long pause the guy next to me said, "DANG MAN MAKE A DECISION...YOU GOT 40 IN THERE WHAT'S ANOTHER EIGHT?"
