First Trip to a Casino... Advice?

Nice take at 3/6. remember though, it won't always be like that, remember the V word? Yeah, variance. Also if you become a regular there, the other regulars will start to recognize you and won't pay you off. anyhow nice job.

2/4 HE is different the 2/4 NLHE last time I checked.

For the last few years when I lived in New York my "home" casino was Foxwoods, although I'd dabble at The Player Club once in a while on Sunday nights. Now I'm back home I play mostly at the Grosvenor Victoria Casino in London.

After every hand leave the table to go talk to your friends about random hands, or "reads" on opponents. Be sure to arrive late so the entire table has to wait on your arrival. Don't forget to stare down your opponent for an extended period of time before making a no brainer call getting 15:1 pot odds.
Scream DAAAAAA!!! loudly after folding.

You forgot the part about wearing sunglasses so that your opponents can't pick up any tells on you at the 2-4 limit table. (You know, the opponents who are watching TV or reading the newspaper during the hand.)

It was clearly implied above that everyone on this post but you was talking about limit even if nobody specified it.

For some reason you decided to make a link to Daniel's blog where he says it is often a good idea to be deep stacked in NL games. Then when somone points out that he was talking about NL you respond by saying correct. Since the posts previous to yours were clearly about Limit HE your no limit arguments don't really seem to have any use in THIS argument about live casino play. The whole concept definatly is interesting in other contexts as sometimes it is not actually smart to be super deep in NL.

Also saying limit sucks is a bit ridiculous. It's a pretty cool game (in its own right) with a lot of interesting concepts. It might not be as "exciting" or "action packed" as NL but you should really give it a try at some point since it also happens to be super profitable with farily low variance. Also you need to know how to play limit well if your going to venture outside of HE as a lot of other games are played as limit.

No one specifically implied limit, I was talking about NL! Hello?? Do you play 7 card stud? Omaha Hi-lo? Probably for the same reasons I stay away from limit hold'em...I am more profitable at no limit. If you can't understand this very simple and basic concept then there is little or no hope for you.

And seeing at this is completely off topic and I don't have the energy to explain these ideas to you, this is my last post on this topic. Either think about it and believe me, or don't. Makes no difference to me at all.

By someone saying that they should be in for 100 bucks at 2/4 pretty much implies it is limit as I don’t know any informed person who would buy in this short to a 2/4 NL game.

No I don't play that much 7-stud or Omaha however there is probably a point where I would want to learn to play these games when/if hold em gets boring for me or if I would just want to broaden my poker horizon.

Right now I am not playing these games that much because I am trying to improve my game at NLHE sng's. That doesn't mean I won't play anything else and more importantly that doesn't mean other games don't have the potential to yield more profitability at some point.

I have played NL cash games, Limit HE and NL sit and go’s all of which at the time I thought to be the most profitable. The point is if you don’t try other things you will never know.

What do you mean there is little or no hope for me? In what sense? Please stop making blanket statements when you really don’t know much about me or where I play.

Also what do you mean by “believe me or not”. Judging by your seemingly limited knowledge on poker outside the realm of $55 sng’s and your stubborn attitude I pretty much would have to choose to ignore most of what you say.
