Re: Playing in Vegas
Well I'm not Dynasty but people HAVE told me to, "Die! Nasty". So I'll try to sub until the master returns.
1) Sahara no-limit Sunday tournie:
Although I have not played in the Sunday tournie, I have played the mid-week no-limit hold'em tournament more then a few times. This is where you need to be. Short fields, bad payers. Go get 'em Dentist. The money is there for the taking. If not, it's still your best chance to shine.
2) Best local tournies:
Orleans & Mirage. If you are looking for under $50, better make it Orleans & Sahara. Orleans is......big fields & well run. Sahara......Small fields and "so-so" run.
The Luxor A.M. tournie is a real crap-shoot but might be worth a look for
some fun. Who knows, someone has to win those things. IF you find yourslf up that early & standing inside the pyramid; Hell, have some fun.
3) If you want to avoid as many rocks as you can, avoid playing in daytime games. Most rocks are early to bed & early to rise. Swing shift & graveyard are when the best games can be found most days of the week. Y.M.M.V.
