SH Online vs Full Ring in Vegas

[MyssGuy]

I'm going to be headed to Vegas in about a month. I'm a winning player for 1+BB/hr multi-tabling 5/10 SH for over 75k hands. I worked my way up at full ring games (.5/1 to 1/2 to 2/4 to 3/6) before going SH at 5/10.

My question is what levels can/should I play in Vegas. Per the 300xBB bank roll requirement (my self enforced req.), I could go up 15/30 and almost 20/40. Can I expect this games to be too tough and play at 10/20? Or can I expect enough tourists that either 15/30 or 20/40 are playable? I'm looking to play at Mirage, Bellagio and check out the Wynn. Suggestions?

are you moving to Vegas, or going for vacation?

don't worry about 300BB is you'll be there for 3 days.

I haven't played that high in Vegas, but from what I understand those games (at all the levels you mentioned) can be great, or terrible. Just depends on who's there.

also, I would get some full ring play in before you get there, if you haven't played full ring since 3/6.

I'll just be visiting/working the poker tables.

I will be hitting some full ring games online to get warmed up and get my mind back into full state of mind. The highest I've played was a 10/20 kill in Tahoe over the 4th of July. Table played more like a 3/6 or 5/10 that I've seen here in the Chicago area. Was able to make a killing. Just don't want to get over my head while out there.

I recommend sticking to the 300 BB rule just because the worse thing that could happen is you knock the table dead and come home to play it online and then go broke. I have seen it happen

Do a little reading and thinking about full ring.
Play the 10 and 15 games.
Relax.
Stack chips - high and wide.

from my experience in Atlantic City v. online play, I usually play 5x higher than online. and you should consider the same the games will be beatable.
