A Tale Of Two Rooms

A while back, I compared my results from the Detroit poker rooms, and my numbers varied from room to room.

So if I do the same for the Reno rooms, will the results also vary? The short answer is, 'Hell yeah!" In fact, there is one room that I just can win, and another room that I can't seem to lose. Here are those numbers.

Atlantis $2/$3: 14 sessions (10-4 .714) +$2820 (+$201.43 avg) 51.25 hrs (+$55.02/hr)
Last five sessions:
12/12: +$115 ~ 1.50 hrs
12/11: +$160 ~ 4.00 hrs
12/09: +$353 ~ 2.00 hrs
12/03: +$256 ~ 3.00 hrs
11/28: +$538 ~ 3.25 hrs

Grand Sierra $1/$2: 11 sessions (3-8 .273) -$1085 (-$98.63 avg) 33 hrs (-$32.88/hr)
Last five sessions:
12/10: -$100 ~ 3.0 hrs
11/21: -$270 ~ 4.5 hrs
11/19: -$234 ~ 4.0 hrs
11/17: -$91   ~ 3.0 hrs
11/11: +$215 ~ 2.0 hrs

I really don't know why I can't win in one room, but I can't lose in the other. Yes, short term variance is a factor, and I'm sure the numbers will probably even out somewhat a year from now.

And I know that $1/$2 and $2/$3 are not exactly the same game, but they're close enough. The preflop raises are slightly bigger in the $2/$3 game, and the average pot size is slightly larger. So over the very long term, I would guess the hourly win rate might be $5/hr more at $2/$3 than at $1/$2, but that's not really a factor for this sample size.

Grand Sierra is full of Super Nits who buy-in for $100, and just don't want to put any money in the pot. Atlantis certainly has it's share of Super Nits. But there are a few players who I enjoy seeing at the table, because I know they don't like to fold. Maybe it only takes one or two at a table to make it profitable.

Here are the numbers for the other two casinos, just for comparison:

Peppermill $1/$2: 11 sessions (5-5-1 .455) -$148 (-$13.45 avg) 30.75 hrs (-$4.81/hr)
Last five sessions:
12/23: +$183 ~ 2.25 hrs
12/20: -$224 ~ 1.75 hrs
11/29: -$173 ~ 2.5 hrs
11/27: +$0 ~ 3.0 hrs
11/03: -$420 ~ 3.0 hrs

Eldorado $1/$2: 4 sessions (3-1 .750) +$317 (+$79.25 avg) 10.5 hrs (+$30.19/hr)
Last four sessions:
12/05: +$251 ~ 3.0 hrs
11/22: +$19 ~ 2.75 hrs
11/12: -$96 ~ 2.0 hrs
11/10: +$143 ~ 2.75 hrs
