Loose passive low-limit poker tables in Vegas?

[Ilovephysics]

Yeah, the $2-4 at the Flamingo was good. I think you need to anticipate a few more rocks across from you than you might have expected if you've never played in Vegas before. But generally, I'd guess 5 to a flop is common? Didn't see many maniacs. Lots of loose-passive, especially liked to play hands such as A/K-X suited from any position. Rocks tended to raise only on premium hands... Also, seemed as if it never dawned on any of the players that someone may have flopped a set.

Luxor $2-4 was good too. The $1-2 after the lesson is probably the easiest game on the strip.

I'm not sure about that; a lot of the locals are horrible too!

You got that right.

I won 2 huge pots (for 2/4 at least) by flopping sets. Took ~$150 with 77 and ~$120 with 66. I'm betting/raising/3-betting the whole way and people are coming along and betting/raising me right down to the river. Fun times [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

My vote, especially with a $100 bankroll, is Excalibur (the 1-3 spread is your best bet). After you expand it (your bankroll) a little, I'd try Luxor. I've never played at The Orleans, but I hear those games are pretty juicy as well.

I think it also helped that I am young (I must look like a maniac or something)... There was no reason to do anything fancy, especially after flopping a set... People were just not all that observant... They'd call/seldomly raise with almost any hand that had some of the flop... I'd suspect that if you play half-way decent and picked up anything from the 2+2 type books, $100 is about all you'll need to sit comfortably for what seems to be all day at these $2-4 tables... and basically play break even, if not be up more often than not.

Raiser, happen to catch George Wallace at the Flamingo? That seemed to be a running joke (i.e., who the heck is George Wallace) at a lot of the tables I was at...

Imperial had a fire one day that weekend.. don't really know what, if anything, happened.

I didn't catch him, but I know he's very funny.

One of the escalators caught fire. Not sure how though???

The night I was there, Excalibur set up an interest list for a 4/8 with half-kill. There was enough interest to spread a game, also with blinds of 1 & 2. Lotsa limpers who would almost never fold preflop to a raise once limped. The 1/3 there was so pathetic that even the retiree "rock" at the table saw 50% of flops.

The Mirage games were tighter than Excalibur. Hell, there are hookers in Vegas with 10 years on the job that are probably tighter than the Excalibur 1/3.

Well stated.

I concur wholeheartedly. There are quite a few locals in the Mirage 10/20 game who are terrible players.
