Small stakes Vegas Holdem - Where to play?

Display Name · #1 03-02-2005, 11:56 PM

I'm a novice and looking for the best (easiest) place to play (and win!) Holdem in Vegas, at the lowest limits (2/4?)

I would greatly appreciate any advice!

Thanks

ok.... practically anywhere. Any Dynasty is not kidding. No need to ask this question, they spread it all over the place.

everybody said everywhere, but let's be realistic...

none at Bellagio or Mirage (min. spread there is 4/8 or 3/6) -

personally, I really thought the softest games by far were Imperial Palace, but then I raised with QQ, flopped trips, and got snapped by runner runner st8 - worst beat of my 4 days.

I remember things like that....LOL - and there's almost always a 2/4 game there.

hence the practically in my last post.

I think he should support our fellow 2+2'er Al_Cappone by playing at the Alladin.

I might try IP first as well. They have lessons that start at 10 or 11 am every day (at least they did last December), and then these players start up at a table. When I was there it was so slow that this was the first game of the day and it was nice to "happen" in on that game.

try the 1-3 spread game at Excalibur... about as easy as poker gets.

The 2-6 game is just about as easy IMO.

In the Luxor they have a class around noon and then they spread a 1/2 game and almost everyone in the game is brand new (a very good place to go if it's your first time playing in B&M casinos). Like the previous poster said, the Excaliber has very good low limit games.

I'll have to disagree with this. First, it's not really a 1/2, it's actually a 2/2 with a 1-2 spread limit on the flop only -- weirdest structure I've ever seen, but it ends up playing as the same bet size on all rounds. The rake ends up being horrific. If you're going to play the Luxor, at least do the 2/4.

The games I played there were a tad on the tight side for B&M -- more like Party 0.5/1 than 6-8 to the flop. Not tough by any means, but there are definitely nicer places to play on the strip.
