Re: Are you looking for 5/10 Limit Holdem in Vegas?

Well 3/6 is the normal low limit game spread there. Trying to spread 3/6 and 4/8 side by side does not work. It's been tried and tried. 3/6 and 5/10 on the other hand has not been tried very recently to my knowledge.
TT speaks of the 5/10 being tight with no action. Have you seen the state of the 1/2 NL games in this town lately? Any given day of the week you may and probably will have $15 average pots with half the players all waiting for aces and kings before they'll play. 2/5 NL is drying up slowly but surely. Most of the rooms that ran 3 or 4 at a time can barely get 1 or 2 off the ground now.
Players are slowly reverting back to limit. Those are the ones who played limit first and tried NL. The new players just trying NL before ever playing limit is a completely different story. Most of those players see NL as just another gambling/casino game like BJ or craps.

Photoc, props for innovative and player-friendly thinking. I really enjoy playing at Aladdin, and I think your willingness to start spreading some new games is a welcome thing. As far as the 5/10 structure goes, though, I have to concur with others who have said that it is an action killer. The 5/10 games at Taj in AC are rock-tastic, and feature very very small pots in my experience. By contrast, the 6/12 at Borgata is slightly more loose-passive. I suppose you could make the $5/10 a better game by making it a 2 chip/4 chip game by using $2.50 chips -- that might actually be a draw in terms of it being one of a kind like the "pink" game at Tropicana AC ($7.50/$15 with $2.50 chips). Additionally, using the $2.50 chips would simplify the blind structure. If the $2.50 chip option doesn't work, why not just spread 6/12?
