Don't know if anyone's played there, but does anybody have much familiarity with live Sit and Gos?

Sounds fun, just check how often the blinds go up and the starting chips and then you can compare it to an online site that would be similiar. Play the 200 one, less rake. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The rake on the $200 is very good, I wonder if they have trouble filling a table with that buy-in.

I've played a few live Sng's at a track about 2 hours away and it is a lot of fun and the competition is horrible at the 20 level.

i've played in a lot of single table satellites here in vegas.... structure is usually at least as fast as Party... sometimes takes a while to get a table filled..

while it's interesting to play live--- and you can do some things that you aren't able to do online (having some actual good reads on people)-- it hasn't been very profitable for me.

Here's the real question. Are the games fishier when the casino doesn't use proper English on their webpage?

A 9-seated 'home game' is all that I could equate it to.

I play a couple times a month with a handful of 'rookies'...and usually proceed to get trounced!

I think there are two primary problems I face in these live games.

One is the number of hands you'll see/play, compared to online. These guys usually bump the blinds every 15min. But between the bullshitting and the shuffling, you just don't see that many hands. So my tight/aggressive style is usually negated while bleeding with the blinds.

Secondly, is THEY JUST DON'T KNOW BETTER TO FOLD [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Too many family pots, etc. Big raises PF don't make much difference to these guys. Oh well, all in fun anyway.

I too have been interested in sitting in on some small tourneys at the indian casino nearby. Assuming those that bother to show up and pay their money might exercise a little more discipline, I'm still wondering if you don't have to splash around a little more in respect to the 'seeing less hands' problem. Or maybe in these sng's you're speaking of, the blind structure addresses this.

Good luck to you - please report back!!

Bluefeet, by your definition, that will make these games VERY attractive to me.

Play at Jackpot is reportedly very poor.

I can't comment firsthand as I haven't been there since they started offering poker...

[Bluff Daddy]

which one are you planning on playing? They definately wont be profitable compared to online with drive and fact that it should take longer. But either way should be alot of fun.

Considering that this casino is out in the sticks, I'm pretty sure the statement "allin" generally refers to those who have a full set of teeth.
