Whenever I have moved up in limits, I have always worried that I was going to be in over my head at the higher limit.
So, again with some trepidation, I started playing in the Bellagio 30/60 on the last night of my last trip and have been playing regularly during this trip. A fellow poster said that he heard that this game was one of the "toughest games in Vegas"
Just how tough is it? Here is the 1st hand that I played last night:
UTG limps, folded to me in MP and I raise with AQo. I'm cold called by an LP, the button and the SB, UTG calls.
Flop is 872, UTG checks, I bet, LP raises, button cold calls, SB folds, UTG wakes up and check/reraises, I fold, the other 2 call.
Turn is a 5 and there is a flush draw on the board.
UTG bets, LP raises, button 3-bets, they both call.
River is something that puts a possible flush on the board and it gets checked around.
UTG shows 82 /images/graemlins/club.gif for the flopped 2 pair, LP shows 75o, for the turned 2 pair and the button shows 64o for the turned gutshot straight.
It would have taken a bomb to get me out of that seat.
