Win at Armadillo Poker easily.
Entry Location:
Armadillo Poker room.

This is a way to win at poker without losing any of your money. Start by buying the room above the poker room, and save your game there. Go start a game of poker, and bet high (usually about half your chips on the first hand). Generally (at least it seems to me) 1-2 (depending on if there are 3 or 4 players in the game) of the players will fold, and the other one will call your bets and sometimes even go all in. Here is where the luck kicks in, if you both end up going all in, and you lose, just reload your game and try again. If you win, however, you then have half the chips and a huge advantage over the last 1 or 2 players. From then on, just bet really high all the time and they will fold a lot, and they are really stupid, so when they do go all in, they generally go all in with nothing more than a high card.
