The Sahara
 

Anyone play at the poker room at the Sahara? How are the Rebuy trnys there? I know they spread 2-4 limit and a NL game... how are they?

tourneys are terrible - they take out secret juice - almost 25 percent.

The above poster is correct, the rake is horrendouse, after I found out I stopped playing in it, even after i took hom 2 1st place 3,000+ finishes. The NL game is a uncapped 1-2 game, but it only gets going after the majority of the nightly tourney players bust, meaning after 10 oclock. There is rarely a NL game during the day.

Yea i used to go play there weekly also, in the tournies but the rake is horrid, and the Payouts are bogus, 190 people could enter and they only pay 11, when in reality 18 or 20 should be getting paid , but they take so much out of the pool, it's impossible. I think they maybe get 2-3 tables going that are non tournament. Go play at the MGM or else where, the No Limit game there is by far the best i've ever played in.

They changed it a month or so ago to either a 200 or 300 cap.

I was there about a month ago, and it was NL400 1-2 blinds.

Their limit game is possibly the worst I have ever seen. They only use one blind and just some weird people play there. It was a little scary...the sandwiches are tasty though!

You are horrifically wrong... it may have been one of the softest low-limit games I've ever played in. Horrible players are your friends, not your enemys. Embrace them.

PS: The blind structure didn't bother me at all, because the table was regularly 5 to the flop cold-calling pre-flop raises, and thats when it was shorthanded.

I agree, very soft and full of fish.

Re: The Sahara
 

I'm not saying horrible as in player quality because that is pretty much any 2/4 3/6 4/8 game in Vegas, but it was just hell to play there. Felt like I was playing in a prison home game...or a circus carnivale.
