Default UPDATE

okay, I played in the 15/30 at Wynn last night, and except for a ridiculous very first hand of the evening that cost me half my initial buy-in (as posted elsewhere) it was a very enjoyable and profitable evening.

The game was very loose, mostly passive, with an average of 3-6 people seeing a flop. I bought in for a rack (and a half) of red and walked away with four racks after about 7 hours.

I won the biggest hand of the evening when my set of tens cracked both AA and QQ with four people seeing the river and multiple raises all the way. $900 or so in that one - woo hoo!

thanks to all you "big-timers" for recommending various games around town. I appreciate it.

WTF am I living in Europe if there's loads of good live games at reasonable stakes going on in Vegas. "¤#!§¤!"#¤

How is the 150-300 game? Who generally plays in that game? Does it run regularly?

Nope. Whenever I go (which isn't very often...like once a month) I start an interest list and only twice have we got a game going.

Game quality wise? It really depends who was in it. When the table got more full in the morning it was a much tougher game than when I played HU and 3 handed. They were decent enough players but I think playing the amount of aggressive hold-em I've played online boaded really well for me.

It was really fun to play in a live game where the stakes really mattered and play my absolute hardest.

to be honest, middle limit game selection only really matters before 4pm. After that, there are good games everywhere. Personally, i always liked bellagio because of the 2/3 structure creating more post flop play compared to mirage. but you will find loose passive poker everywhere.

If you are first jumping into the new limits, go on a Friday or Saturday evening. Either the $20-40 at Mirage or the $15-30 at Bellagio are good games. Like others said, Bellagio has a better selection as Mirage usually only has 1 or 2 $20-40 games going. If the games are not good, change tables....Mirage still has $10-20 and Bellgio has several $15-30 games. If all games suck, just roll over to the other casino.

Ha! You're just trying to get a new fish to the game. I can see you licking your chops already....

Add a 0 at the end of the 15 and 30 and maybe we'll see eachother in a game at the bellagio.

Hard to believe that someone could actually think typing something as douchy as this was a good idea.
