Default Re: Evolution of a card room

This is exactly the case in vegas these days. MGM can hardly get anything higher than 4-8 or 2-5 no limit going. Even 6-12 just isn't there very often anymore, nor 10-20. Every room in town is low limit hold'em and nothing else. Wynn can barely get big games going. The only regular higher limit games are mirage and bellagio.

This is my observation...

Hold'em killed poker

1-2 no limit killed hold'em

The hold'em craze killed all the other games, like stud, stud-8 and O-8. Slowly but surely the hold'em games took over. Now there's the no limit craze, and all the decent size limit hold'em games are going bye-bye. Except for mirage and bellagio, anything but 4-8 and baby no limit practically doesn't exist anymore. What a shame, I was really looking for a good 10-20.
