Texas Holdem on the Casino Princesa in Miami
I played $5/$10 Texas holdem on the Casino Princesa in Miami last week. I was in Miami for the Casino Affiliate Programs spring break event, and the casino cruise was one of the events. I've never been that far out on the ocean before. In fact, the furthest out I've even been on the ocean was in San Francisco when I took the tour around Alcatraz. But that's another post, and probably for another blog.
The blinds were $2/$5, and the table was very loose. I don't remember a single hand in 4 hours not going to a showdown. I did not play well. I made the mistake of playing looser than usual simply because everyone else was playing loose too. Bad mistake, and it cost me $200 of my $500 buy-in, and would have cost me more if I hadn't flopped a boat toward the end of the evening. (I also played badly because the beer and the rocking of the boat gave me a wicked buzz.)
But it was a good time, and I recommend the Casino Princesa to anyone wanting to go out on a casino cruise. The food was pretty good, the dealers were all very nice, and the casino was hopping. The Texas holdem table was pretty full almost the entire night, although I don't know if that's the usual situation or just because there were a lot of casino affiliates onboard and they tend to like playing poker, if you know what I mean.
Also, here's some info on the Casino Princesa:

Also, here's some info on the Casino Princesa:
- 245 total slot machines
- 1 3 card poker table
- 10,000 square feet
- 32 different table games
