Vegas this friday

fireman664 · #1 11-02-2004, 09:13 AM

I am going this Friday with my wife and some firends. I of course am there for the poker. The wife is there for the sun. This leads me to my first question.....how warm is it there right now? I see the average highs around 73, but I am from Indianapolis and the average can be 40 degrees off. The second question I have is: I play $100 NL 6max online. I dont mind the full games, I just seem to do a little better shorthanded. What game should I look for that would be close to the structure/skill level that I am used to (and my BR for 2 nights is only $600, but I can gamble it all)? The last time I went I didnt even play the NL games there, which was a mistake because I am not really a limit player (I did end up on the positive end though). Thanks for any comments, and I will post a trip report when I return.

Thanks

It's getting chilly outside during the day, but your wife may be able to catch some sun by the pool. This past weekend I noticed a surprisingly large number of people laying out by the pool at Luxor in the early afternoon. She won't be the only person looking for a November tan.

As for NLHE, I would say with a $600 bankroll you should check out the Luxor $50 min/max game, and the $100 Excalibur min/max game. On weekends these games are usually spread on 2 to 4 tables at each poker room, so you should find plenty of action.

If you want to play some limit action, then you may want to check out the Bellagio 8/16. It's just about right for your bankroll. Best of luck.

For any 2+2ers interested. I will be staying at the Flamingo. If your there hunt me down. Im short and will be wearing an Indianapolis Fire Department Engine 11 hat....or a COLTS hat. I am also thinking of trying the $300 max buyin games, but not sure where the best game is? As for the weather? I checked today and tomorrows high is a sunny 74....that should keep the wife happy, and buy me some more time at the tables.

AllVegasPoker is right go to the Excalibur i played there Saturday night this last weekend, tons of tourists, NL there on weekends i believe was 3 tables i waited for maybe 15 mins 100min/max buyin no more no less, i played for 2 hours and watched at least 8-10 people come to the table play every hand piss away $100-$300 and get up and leave without caring, a local at my table had at least $1000 easy and i was up about $ 50 after a couple hours without trying or going all in, i however ended up getting into a showdown with the other local having $ 1000 flop QJQ i have q 10 in my hand i check he checks , turn blank he bets 30 i raise to 60 he puts me all in, i saw him make bad play after play and so i pushed all in, he turns over KQ i'm out kicked and blow it all. Oh well stay away from the local players who swarm on the drunken tourists and i bet you could leave the table with about $ 500, as i could have if i played out some hands differently. Good luck, hope this helped.

What a terrible beat!

Beats like that are so irritating, especially heads up. Did he raise his Q,K pre-flop?

My favorite NL hand from the 2-5 NL game at Flamingo (300 Max Buy in). I have about 600. Crazy asian who raises every hand makes it 10, tight kid calls, others call, i call with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Flop is 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Asian bets 20, tight kid calls, I call. Turn is the 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Asian checks, kid thinks and pushes all in for like 275. What an odd bet. I can't see him having a boat since he'd want to get paid off. I figure he has a dry 3 or a smaller flush. I call. He doesn't turn so I don't. He looks at me and goes "flush." I say me too, show it, and he instantly mucks. Thanks for playing [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img].
