Vegas Cardrooms

Hi Photoc,

When I played there Tuesday morning (3:00 am to 9:00 am) there were no "actient ones" at my table. Just a bunch of hard drinking 21 year olds with money to burn. YMMV.

Best of Luck

Hi AVP,

Muppet = Super Fish

Or as the old timers would say...

Muppet = Sucker

Not sure how long the term (as a poker term that is) has been around but I first heard it from 2+2er Space Ace. Everyone at my little poker meeting (WPDG) now uses the term instead of fish.
It's a fun word.


As I said in my post to Photoc, I play mostly at night and late night. I've found the Luxor game to have a rather nice Muppet/non Muppet ratio. YMMV.

It's general slang from the UK. Reference: mob boss from Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, lining up a hit:

"I don't want to know who you use, as long as their not complete muppets"

I just got back from Vegas. Stayed at the Luxor, but didn't play there until Thurs graveyard. A couple of rocks were there, but they were tourist rocks. Most of the table was under 35 and laggish. Especially these two Swedish nut cases. The Luxor sucks because the game is $1/2 50 buy-in.

However, once you go below 50, you can buy another 50. So technically you can post your BB and then buy more bringing you up to 98.

But still, for 1/2 you need to play someplace that allows a decent buy-in. Bally's has a nice room and a 1/2 200 max game.

I only played on Thurs at the Lux because I was too tired to go back up the strip and I wouldn't be playing anymore that day.

The dealers suck there. They misdeal every other hand, They can't read the board. They let players argue and/or joke around way too long and have no control of the table. The floor is no better.

DON'T PLAY THERE UNLESS YOU HAVE A GUN TO YOUR HEAD.

Buy in short stacked if the table is lose and you know that when you have the nutties, you'll get some callers.

a large stack is more profitable for these table conditions.

Id like to get some opinions... lets say $100 min/ $500 max buyins... 10 people at the table.. large stack is around $1200 and two short stacks at around $200, one guy with $80 and the rest with around $400-$600 in chips...

what would be the best buy-in? $500 for the max is what i accept to hear....

Also, overall under what conditions would you consider buying in for the min, or much less than the max?
