Default Rate the weakest game you know!

Hi folks!

As we all know, poker is about making money (except having fun of course) and the weaker the competition is the higher the prospects are. Would be interesting to hear you guys rate the weakest games you know about. Please include game, limits, casino, and what makes the game so juicy (passive, loose players, calling stations, hilarious bluffers, players don't know the game, drunk people etc.). Finally give it some sort of rating and what win average a decent player (like yourself) could excpect per hour.

Looking forward to hear some almost-fairy-tales...!

Casino Arizona 3/6

These games are just filled with the type of people SSHE is written about. Loose Passive doesn't begin to describe these folks.

Actually most of the people are there for social reasons, so they are more concerned with having fun and watching the game on one of the big screens than playing poker.

Basically it's a very soft game with lots of friendly people who don't care about a few hundred dollars.

I've heard similar things about the 4/8 and 6/12 but I've never played them.

The 5-150 spread limit game a Casino Arizona.

The game has some good players, some damn good players in fact. But there are a fair number of total donks coming thru that play either a NL tournament style or stuck in limit mode. There is also a fair number of regulars that are more a kin to calling station than anything else.

Friday and Saturday late are great too because of the drunk club folk coming by to donate the buy-ins.

I can not give you an hourly rate, but I can tell you that it is not uncommon for the better regulars in the game to rack out 4+ racks of red for a session. My personal best is a little over 8 racks worth in a 10 hour session. Not bad considering the max buy-in is $350.

3/6 at Barona Valley Ranch is a joke. I've never value bet Ace high before coming here.

1/2 limit hold em at luxor.

I think they only run this game immediately following their 'poker lesson'. Then they dump everyone who took the lesson into this cheapie game. I don't think anyone actually paid attention to the lesson though.

Honestly, imagine a bunch of people who have never played poker before (some of them may have never played cards before). People literally asking what beats what. Several people who see EVERY flop. I'm not kidding here.

Because of the small stakes, you can't win a lot (and the pain of watching may be too much to bear -- but I don't think you'll find a weaker game than this anywhere.

Hard to estimate the winning potential I only played this once. I think a soft 4-8 game is more profitable with less variance and rake is high relative to the pots. So, I guess 5 BB an hour or so may achievable.

Is this true? I always feared competition at Vegas. I had this notion that people played well. Am I wrong?
