Re: Are you looking for 5/10 Limit Holdem in Vegas?
[ QUOTE ]
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.

SoCal is still growing but the somewhat larger fixed buy games ($200 to $500 range) are getting tighter and I expect this trend to continue. In a year or two I expect to revert to 20/40 (and hopefully 40/80) limit holdem as my main games. Ridiculously loose NL play will get increasingly punished as you won't often see five loose players pushing chips back and forth as we have in the past.
Blood in the water always attracts sharks, and the low limit low limit players are starting to bleed too fast.
But the real little games still look pretty loose. Hawaiian Gardens had thirteen $20 fixed buy (1-1 blinds) and seven $40 fixed buy (1-2 blinds) in the bar area and it's mostly kids under 25. And this is with about three to five buy-ins per hour coming off the table in drops! The floorperson said the kids actually do what they are told when she has to make a decision. I guess the new generation listens to adults [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
