text: This is a bit long for a Yelp review so I will put the juicy bit up front stars to the Rio for keepin it sexy with the naughty cocktail waitress outfits the newly revamped and more sexy carnival show and for the ladies a lot of cameo appearances by Chippendales dancers There is always something to see herennn nnOk so now the dull partnnAbout the poker room here It is a small room that was renovated a year or two ago clean and well run The WSOP in the Rio convention center obviously overshadows it but there is some good spillover into the cash games here late at night There were about ten full tables of no limit and going at midnight Not as much drinking going on as I would have liked nnHere is a hand I played last night sorry that this is a bit long it is from a report I did for a poker site I post at but it may give other players some idea of the action to be had here when the wsop is in townnnThe no limit was a very tight aggressive table with a lot of tough players Average stack was about with two guys well above that I sat down with and limped in to a few hands not hitting much mostly just observing these guys I picked up dd on the button and limped in for with other players The flop was dcs which I very much liked The first player to act thought he would take down the pot nice and quick with a bet nnAs I was thinking of how much to raise him the player immediately to my right the big stack at the table raised it to That surprised me I honestly had no idea what to think about that He had a lot of chips so it was very possible he was making a move After due consideration I called his bet with the hope of improvement in my hand in the form of a runner runner flush draw or straight possibilities nnThe initial raiser mucked quickly and the turn was the Q of h Big Stack looks at it for a lil bit and bets It did not take him very long to bet nnA problem I had with this hand is I had not been at the table very long and did not know enough about how these guys played I should not have gotten involved in a big hand this early since it was possible this guy only bet monsters But as the big stack I assumed he was pushing people around a lot and I was not going to call away half my stack at this point and I did have the inside straight draw So I went all in for on top of his bet nnObviously at this point I was also hoping that my trips were good nnThey were not He called and flipped over Jxx for the better kicker I had ignored all of the signs that this guy was very strong and followed my trips into quite the trap I knew he was strong but could not lay down my hand The river was the lovely Ace of Spades and so the kicker issue became irrelevant and we split the pot nnI am including this in this thread which started with me whining about flopping a big straight and being run down by a lucky caller to show that luck can come full circle I suppose Nice to be the one sucking out on this one nnLast comment now that I think about it the thing that really bothered me about Big Stack betting big was there was no flush or straight draw for him to be betting and he seemed like the type of player that would do that Which led me to think he had the other And a better kicker Which he did And I called anyway like a fish lol And then got lucky Ah poker
