I used to be a weekly regular at the Trump riverboat in Hammond, IN... always played the $200 buy-in no limit tables.
Recently moved to Colorado, where they only serve up limit poker in the mining town casinos. I've been playing there a lot lately, $2/$5 limit... it's fun, but hard to make a really good showing.
To alleviate my desire to play no-limit, I've turned to $400 buy-in no limit on PokerStars.
I just had this hand a minute ago. And while I won't complain about my cut, if I would have played this hand last night at Fortune City (Central City, CO) ... it would have netted me the bad-beat jackpot of $42,000
