Default Re: Should I play 5/10 at the Taj?

You must remember that live play is a totally different mindset than internet play. On the net, you can change games instantly. Live, you really need to pay attention to your game, scout other games inbetween hands, etc. Live play IS fishier than internet ON AVERAGE FOR ANY GIVEN LIMIT, but you still MUST be selective. Because I live in vegas, I can afford to be picky with my live game selection, AND I can afford to NOT play on the internet. For someone taking a trip to a live poker center (who is not usually near one), they need emphasis on things like how important it is to continually scout games. Keep in mind that online you quickly scout the games using a few silly statistics. In live action rooms you can really SCOUT the games, watch the action, see what gets shown down, how big the pots are, look for the SUPER-FISH, etc etc.

There is MUCH more information available to the live game player, but they can't expect to just click on a stat and have the best tables delivered to them.
