I consider myself to be an excellent holdem player shorthanded. Haven't played 10 handed in I'd say a year now. I am going to vegas dec.14-18 and don't want to get handed my ass there. I'm taking 700+. Is there any very cheap tournaments I can enter...I DON'T WANT any rebuy crap..im not looking to invest 200+ in a tourney. Also on a side tangent..should I go into a 10 handed holdem game of 3-6 or try my luck at a 2 deck bj shoe at binions or I hear theres a one deck shoe at caesears with diff rules? Any info on which would be cheaper thanks?

Mandalay Bay and Luxor have 30-max (or 29-max) tourneys with no rebuys every weekday. Mandalay Bay's tourney starts at 10:00am. Luxor starts at noon.

How much does it cost to enter these tourneys? Also is luxor in the old strip or new strip? I assume mandalay is in the new strip?

Buyins are around 30 bucks. Check cardplayer.com for the tourney trail. Both Mandalay and the Luxor are way south on the strip. Mandalay is the furthest south.

I think the line is "I'm just kiddin' like Jason"

But then there is no pun. Who would Jason be? Why is he kidding? Vorhees wasn't much of a joker. Are there any other famous Jasons? Why do I spend so much time thinking about these things?

Palms and Binions has a $2-$4 hodem game. I watched the one at Binions for a while why I was waiting for the $10-$20 to make. These might be good games with minimal risk to try out. From what I saw a trained monkey could beat these games.

Binion's BJ is single deck downtown rules. I've seen 2 deck games at Mirage, Luxor, and a few others.

No, he is talking about Jason Kidd. But he says "kiddin like Jason." That is the pun.

Single deck BJ on the Strip is a ripoff. 6-5 payout for a natural.

Ah, but single deck downtown pays 3:2. So does 2 deck on the strip and in the 2 deck games the dealer stands on soft 17

From what I hear they have 30 dollar tournaments every weekday at 10am...and they have a 2 deck blackjack shoe that stands on soft 17?? and still pays 3:2...one question what is the min bet on that blackjack table...im so there.
