Local card room vs Vegas

[LasVegasMichael]

There are certainly less "locals" in a Vegas casino versus your hometown place, that is true. Usually, in a typical Strip casino, there are about 2 locals at every table on average. Locals tend to play tighter and certainly play more often.

In LA and other parts of the country where they have poker casinos, these players are nearly all locals with 2 out of towners at best, however not all locals are the same.

In LA the locals are often the craziest ones at the table, especially at lower limits. Capping preflop with crap and three betting the flopa with second pair is common.

In Vegas, however, the play is significantly more passive (from the locals and the tourists). Though there a good many aggressive players (and TAG ones) it is not the majority.

So I would agree with you that the level of play is worse in Vegas then most local places, and hopefully it will stay that way. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
