Re: Playing in Arizona
I have played at Casino Arizona regularly in LL games (3-6, and 4-8) over the last 2 years. It's my favorite poker room by far in Arizona and is about as good as it gets live for table selection at LL. It's a great room with many tables going at the LL levels. I haven't been there since January so I don't know if they have moved. I would say the games are somewhat tighter than they were a year ago, but still beatable. The LL games may be unbeatable during the hot months when everyone leaves town. Afternoons had a fair number of retirees who play every hand and don't know when to fold. Evenings on weekends are very busy, and the games are excellent in general, especially when the bad beat jackpot gets very large (greater than $30,000. I have seen it as large as $90,000 and there were about 100 names on the waiting lists). Beware the games after midnight, when the sharks make up a large fraction of the players. Get to know the regulars, most know how to play.
Food is excellent. Dealers are mostly excellent. They often have free contests going during football, basketball and such on weeknights if you're at a table.
