The only problem with Vegas is this....NO ONE wants to play higher than 3/6 and 4/8 that are on vacation. A "few" players will go try a 10/20 game now and then, but that is about it. Lots of these people that are coming to Vegas (lots for the first time) and just trying out poker live for the first time or hardly have played it at all.

MGM has tried spreading 6/12 and 10/20. The games just dont go anymore and thats the biggest casino in the state with over 5000 rooms. There is only one casino that can even get these games off the ground regularly and thats the Mirage. Does anyone think that if the casinos had the ability to run these games more often based on demand that they would? MGM is even now running more 3/6 than 4/8 games. That kinda says something. It's all 1/2nl, 2/4, and 3/6 that 95% of the tourists want to play. At least 5/10 isn't that "high stakes" of a game that some of them are willing to try it. For some reason that 6/12 is one of the least appealing games in town for people to play. Even though everyone "loves" this game, it's dead. No one plays it except for 1 table at the Mirage.

I give the Aladdin credit for trying something that no one else is trying with the 5/10. It may not be the loosey goosey chip spewing game that 2/4 is, but man, dont shoot down the game before they even get a chance to get it going normally. At least they are willing to give a try and cater to some of the locals looking to move up a little bit and to some of the tourists that are sick of 2/4 and 3/6.

btw, this thread has been majorly hijacked with all the California NL discussion, LOL. Start yer own damn thread [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
