The rake will kill you, but if you want some LL fun, go for it.

What's considered the minimum limit at a B&M that's +EV to play after rakes and tokes are added in?

Does anyone have any advice for someone going to vegas who wants to play NL tournaments rather than ring games? Any casinos have a lot of regular tournaments? Schedules?

Why in the world would someone play a tournament other than the wsop while visiting vegas?

Talk about a huge chunk of time out of your vacation.

preflop limp of 2 and a raise is to 6.

Actually, the preflop limp is 2 and to raise is a max of 6 to make it 8 to go, not to 6.

If you are talking about Excalibur then YOU are correct...if talking about Mandalay Bay then HE is correct.

The 2/6 spread at Excalibur is soft as hell. You don't have the kind of completely green-behind-the-ears folks you see in 1/3 for the most part, but what you have instead is a mix of weak-tight older folks and "I saw poker on TV and want to give it a try" 20 to 40-somethings. They're all horrible, for the most part.

As for the jackpot drop, I don't think its that bad if you're playing +EV poker otherwise. The amount you benefit from the jackpot when your AA gets cracked (obviously happens more often in loose-passive games) must cover at least a decent chunk of what you lose in the extra rake.

But most of all, spread limit kills passive players. Raise the max, every time it is reasonable to raise at all.

DJ, please post a trip report when you return. I am going in January and have similar background/experience.

Any "from the horse's mouth" tips to the online guys are appreciated. Like what things are similar to online, what surprised you, etc. And of course how the play compares to which limits at Party.

OK. Looks like I should try the 2/6 Excalibur game and the 4/8 Mandalay Bay game. At least both of those are next to the Luxor, so travel should be easy. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
