I'm going to Vegas at the end of the month(I'll be the 6'8" middle-aged white guy). Anyway, I plan to play in the excalibur 2-6 game and just want to clarify some spread limit rules since I've never played it.
1) in the 2-6 games I assume the big blind is $2, is there a small blind? 2) As I understand it, the initial bet on any street can be anything from $2,3,4,5, or $6. Correct? 3) How about raises? If player 1 bets $4, can player 2 raise by $2 to six, or does the raise have to be at least the size of the first bet? 4) How about the caps. Is it simply one bet and 3 raises, or is the cap a dollar amount per street? TIA, see you guys in Vegas! |

I just got back on Saturday morning (redeye to Boston). Didn't do that great (a couple of breakeven-ish sessions at the Aladdin, got creamed at the Excalibur (a few suckouts combined with lack of sleep led to a major tilt), and tournaments at the Luxor and the Orleans where I didn't finish ITM, though I did manage to outlast almost 2/3 of the field at the Orleans), but I had lots of fun. -Mike |

As far as betting goes, i believe excal was one bet and three raises, the rest of vegas is one bet and four (five bet cap total). I'm not 100% that it's four instead of five, but an odd situation came up in the NL game and i'm remembering the number 4 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. The odd situation was - they even have a bet cap in NL. One bet and three raises. Sure, any of those could be all in, but if you manage a bet and three raises they won't let the next guy go all in; he can only call or fold. It was really really odd. This was ~september though, so they may have changed that in the NL. They had some bullshit protecting the players reason behind it. |
