So I sit down with $80 in chip at the 1/2 No Limit Table, and no joke, couldn’t catch 1 hand! It was insane, even when I did get a good hand like AK or AQ, people would fold out, or my Queen would hit, and then someone would river a straight! Wow…is all I can say. To all the poker players out there, I feel for you when you have those days, as no matter how much you buy in for that day; it won’t matter, when you’re as cold as ice, its best to get up and wait till the next day when you’re hot once again.

I had to put this bad beat day up here as I told my floorman Gary that I would. I feel for you Gary, when I called your pocket jacks pre-flop with AQ and caught my queen on the flop. Bad beats happen every day, but I find solace in the fact that it’s just that, “a bad day”, it will change and turn around so you can start fresh and rebuild the bankroll that was lost…

I was in a poker game the other day, got in for $80, went up to $125, Aces cracked and down to $20, then the cards flowed my way, went back up to $225! It’s that fast, but you can get it back baby, so never ever give up! Good luck in the drawing today as its “Drawing Thursday!” Possible $900 at 3pm while playing LIVE poker two hours prior.

Good luck to you all and enjoy your day at the Phoenix Casino!

Good morning Sacramento! It’s been a while since I wrote to you all as the Phoenix has been so busy & exciting lately… The promotions that have been going on here for quite some time are taking off like crazy. For example:

• The Advantage Rebate Program:  where Sacramento Poker Players can benefit from getting paid up to $10 per hour just for playing poker and having fun. Never has it been so easy for a “Regular Joe” to come learn & play poker and earn a living while doing so… The promotions are solid and have been going on since the start of 2011. Four months into it and players love it, as payday is every week! That’s right, every Monday afternoon you can come pick up your paycheck! It’s really that simple. To qualify you just have to sign up for an Advantage Card for free, and play poker! As always see floor staff for all the details and enjoy your day at the Phoenix Casino.


• Player vs. Poker: Think of this promotion as the “Ironman of Poker!” Where players that play for a set amount of hours can qualify for a cash prize! So if you have some time on your hands and want to see if you got what it takes to beat Poker, then come faceoff with Player vs. Poker! This is in addition to the Rebate Program!


• $80 for $40 Buy-in’s! Every morning between 8am and 9am the Phoenix gives our players $80 for $40 buy-ins in the the 4/8 Texas Holdem game, the cool thing about this promotion is that is stimulates the early morning action and gets the ball rolling so that when our afternoon players come in, there are usually a few games to choose from, and the players from the morning play have a larger bank roll to play against the after-nooner’s! Just another way the Phoenix rewards our players.


• Free Carolina’s Mexican Food Saturday’s! Free for Players! Come in and play some poker, and while you play enjoy some beef and chicken tacos with the Phoenix family…

Thanks for taking the time to check out our website and read my blog, I get busy sometimes, but writing all the great things about the Phoenix is a really great way for me to start off my morning in a refreshed and positive way. Thanks again to everyone who is a part of the Phoenix Casino family, we welcome all the card players of Sacramento to come and try us out. You’ll be glad you did…
