Advice on Casino play?

[Hendricks433]

Well Im going to a Casino for the first time tomorrow and was wondering if anyone had advice about playing? What limits or what not? I posted in the B&M section but they just told me how to act. How is the play in casinos normally? Donkish? Tight?

The 20/40 game at my local casino plays like the party 5/10. I might even go as far as to say the players are worse. What casino are you going to? Maybe that way you can get some feedback from ppl that have played there.

Soaring Eagle in Michigan. I wanted to go to Windsor and play but my friend is not 19 for a couple weeks and this is the only 18+ casino near by. I dont know what games they have there so Im sort of winging it.

All live players suck. Whatever game you play online multiply the limits by 4 or 5 and that's what you can beat live if you beat it online.

I have a questions about this. Is this really true for games like 30/60 in an area where its the highest limit available within say 500 miles?

This is true for Los Angeles, where people that can beat 2/4 and 3/6 online for a good rate could beat the 20/40 at Commerce.

What others have said is true. Live players do suck. One thing to be careful for, however, is an inordinate amount of players live won't raise with hands like QQ, AQ or even AK. So be very careful when you're on a medium-strong hand like AJ because it's a bit harder to tell where you're at than online.

Unless things have changed drastically in the last year, then Soaring Eagle has some of the worst live players that I've ever seen. This is especially true for 3/6 and 6/12.

I've found that most live small stakes players are there for a good time or to watch the game on the big screens.
