You're welcome to both of you! Glad to assist.

Re: Has anyone played at Treasure Island in Vegas?
 

I like playing there most of the time. The only problem is it tends to attract players like LasVegasMichael. No offense meant towards him, but sometimes the table starts filling up with pros. One or two is not so bad, but I've seen four at my table, which makes it awfully tough on a person with limited skills. I don't know if the floor there has lots of friends they call when it gets good, or what.

Fair point, but it is rare that all the regulars are at the same table at the same time.

Major difference between TI and other places when it comes to this is twofold. First, there are only about 5-7 regulars that play there in the evening, and they are rarely all there at the same time. Compared to other rooms, this is a very small number of grinders. Second, because it is only an 8 table room, when there are a few regs there at once, it is much more obvious then it would be at a bigger room, since they usually only have 2-3 NL games going at night.

It is easy to spot the regs, and at times, even easier to beat them, once you get used to the way some of them play.

As stated, it's a smaller, darker room with only about nine tables.

Last time I was there, they were coming in shifts. There were four on my table, one would leave after awhile only to be replaced by another.

We had only one game going, or I would have asked for a table change.

Yes, spotting them was easy. Beating them, not so much, for me.

Heh, it's 4 more than they usually need.

Thanks for the info. I'll be in Vegas next week and will have to try out the room.

Ditto. If this is an elaborate trap, well this mouse comes in on the 22nd.

hah... im really glad someone made this thread because its my 23rd tomorrow and on saturday morning im driving out to vegas. this will be my first trip. my mother got me a suite at TI and tickets to see Cirque de solei (sp?). im a 100-300NL, and i like smaller rooms so this looks like it might be a nice fit, though im gonna have to check out some others too =]

Re: Has anyone played at Treasure Island in Vegas?
 

You should definitely go over to the Rio - go around to the convention center parking - and go see the WSOP stuff. They lowest NL they're spreading is 2/5 but even just to go check it out, it's worth the trip. You've never seen so much poker in one room. You can go sit in the stands and sweat a final table if one is going on and it's a really neat experience.

If you take a cab, tell him you want to go to the WSOP area, NOT the Rio hotel/casino or you have to walk like a mile inside to get to the WSOP stuff.
