Vegas 5/10nl - Page 3

PokerFink · #1 12-09-2005, 12:43 PM

I remember reading about the 5/10nl at Bellagio here on this forum, but perhaps it was 10/20nl and I just remembered wrong. Something about Antonio Esfandiari sitting with 80 grand and the game being hyper aggressive. Is that the 10/20nl?

Anyways, I'm turning 21 (see loc.) at the Borg and I have two weeks in Vegas starting Xmas eve. If all goes well, I will take a shot at the 5/10nl at the end of my trip, probably buying for 500 and sitting with another 500-1000 in my pocket ready to go if the game is good and I'm comfortable with it on the table. For most of my trip, I will stick to my bread and butter 1/2 and 2/5 games.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

That was my post a while back and it was 10/20. Bellagio doesn't spread 5/10. Wynn is the only place you can play 5/10 everyday.

The 2-5 game at the Borg on weekends is 10x better than any 2-5 game in Vegas. Anyway, as others have said, the 5-10 game at the Wynn is very agro, but can be very good at times. For some perspective, I was playing in a 5-10 game at the Wynn before the world series in which a guy called $3,000 all-in preflop with QQ (the other guy had AA of course). In another hand, a guy lost his stack of about $4,000 with AK on an A-2-5-5-7 board (the other guy had 55)
