If you weren't dealing I would never play this stuff. My favorite hand -- two cards. -Loose player in the Sham Seat, Mandalay Bay $4/8 If you're playing anything under $60/120, you should be playing every hand. Your chances are about the same. -Same loose player. Hi. I'm back in Atlanta now, just wanting to leave a quick post before I get to bed. I ended up about $65, which doesn't sound like much for about 24 hours of play but I had a disastrous nearly 25 BB downswing at the Wynn's $4/8 tables last night. Cards were just cold. A late chance at a monstrous pot was thwarted by a guy who cold called a 3-bet preflop with 67o. Pot ended up being split four ways on the river. Wonderful. But I made up some ground this morning before I had to go to the airport at Mandalay Bay's nice poker room. I jumped in a brand-new $4/8 table, complete with a loose player in the Sham Seat who was killing time before he jumped in a NL table, a guy with his wife -- the husband was a chip bleeder, rebuying at least 3 times in the two hours I was there. A calling station and this young guy who was the weakest guy I had ever seen play. The loose player was tormenting him. He raised weak-tight on a flush draw and the weak guy folded his hand. I saw it -- he had top pair!! Anyway, I was happy to get away from it all for a few days. Now back to the online grind. LOL. This trip, I developed a "starting rotation" of places I would go to to try to maximize my time and to take advantage of as much loose play as possible at $3/6 or $4/8 limit. (Next month, I think I'll try some NL play). Morning This is the most difficult time to get a good, fishy game because most people (including the fish) are asleep. But the Wynn has been very decent at being able to provide a $4/8 or NL game this early. I'd go here first. Early afternoon After playing a bit at the Wynn, it's now time to take advantage of the Bellagio's loose tables. The hope is you'll find people who are wealthy enough to stay at the Bellagio and are interested in this poker thing while still not really knowing much about the game. Sometimes, though, low limit tables haven't really gotten started. Once I cut out when I saw it was just a bunch of gray hair. Across the street from Bellagio is the Aladdin, which has a medium-sized poker room that is a good place to go looking for fishy play. The MGM Grand is a good second choice. Evening MGM Grand again. It's full of young people -- the casino is the perfect young, trendy place to be. And there are plenty of inexperienced people -- young and older -- wanting to play poker. If you walk over the overhead walkways, you can quickly get to the Excalibur, which has $2-6 spread limit and NL tables that are generally fishy. Get to the poker room before, say, 8 p.m. and you may find the poker room has food available for players. Bellagio is good, but be prepared to be on a long wait list sometimes. Bring a book. On weekends, Binion's (formerly the Horseshoe) downtown is a great place to play limit (and no-limit) poker. Sometimes the poker room doesn't really have the traffic for limit in the weekdays. Early morning (until 5-6 a.m.) MGM Grand again seems like the best place to be. But I'd also alternate that with trips to Bellagio and the Wynn. Back to the airport Sometimes you can waste your entire day before you have to fly out trying to get into a game. Bellagio is sometimes good, but I've also found the Mandalay Bay is pretty good. Mainly $4/8 limt and NL. Plus it's fairly close (just like the MGM Grand is) to the airport.
