Default RGP vs. 2+2 vs blogs

I've been really disappointed with RGP as of late -- I just can't find anything of value lately. Tons of spam and garbage posts. I do read quite a few blogs including Iggy and Card Speak. I also visit 2+2, but only as a lurker (maybe they should offer to pay for posts

What other sources do you guys check out?

Just RGP usually. Rarely do I check out 2+2...

To add about RGP: It has definitely been shitty recently. I think because of that whole "backer" thing, and especially b/c of the election, it's hard to find a poker-post.

Tone, did you used to play in Atlantic City? (Still do?)

Default Never played AC

I'm a West Coaster. Play the local Seattle 3/6 games once a week or so, and make it to Vegas as often as possible, about four times a year. Last Vegas trip was great. I made about $250 playing 2/6 at the Excalibur with people who were very unclear on the concept of straights and calling with "three pair". Too bad I gave it back in tourney entry fees and other ... distractions.

Online, I play the NL $25 Party game pretty often, plus a bunch of SNGs. I should play more low-limit there as well, but it is just such a zoo.

How are the AC games? I've heard they get pretty wild.

Too much of the Bunny Ranch? Ha. There was a special on HBO a few nights ago, which was a rebroadcast of something they aired a long time ago. It's funny the way those hookers wheel and deel.

Anyway, the reason I asked was because I remember playing with a "Tone" in Atlantic City a few years back.

The action in AC is great. Here's a hand I recall from my last trip, maybe 3-4 wks ago:
$1/2 NLE. I'm in LP w/ KK. MP player (very loose player) raises to $10. I make it $35 to go, and both the BB and MP player call. Flop comes 894, rainbow. BB bets $15, MP folds, I raise $118. Call.

"You probably have me beat," he says.
"Can you beat Kings?"
"No, but I have some outs," turning over Q9o.

Turn brings him a 9, and the river doesn't help me. What action, that's all I have to say. (Suffice it to say, the previous night I won $400, and the night after, another $220. Same game.)

After calling an $118 raise with Q9o:

LOL! Now that is humour!

I want to play in *that* game.
