Here is an interesting hand that I recently played at a 2/5 NL table at the Venetian:
With pocket 10s in middle position, I made it $25 to go...and I was called by a disbelieving Asian woman on the button. A 10 showed on a dry flop...and I gingerly wagered $35...which was also called. The case 10 miraculously appeared on the turn...and I embarrassedly wagered another $70...which was also called. The river-card completed no straights or flushes...and, after donning a puzzled look, I cautiously placed another $100 out there. The Asian woman gave me a scornful look, and called...and then mentioned something to herself in a foreign language when I showed my hand.
And, as I was stacking my chips...a neighboring player told me that my hand would have taken down a substantial best-hand jackpot...had it not been for the fact that the jackpot was put on hold for that particular week. It seems that the Venetian was hosting a set of popular tournaments at that time...and they figured that the poker room would be quite busy even without the best-hand jackpot inducement.
I thanked him profusely for sharing that useful information with me...
