Default Re: Bankroll and planning a Vegas Trip

It really does depend on how tight/loose you play. For example, I play micro-NL full ring online, and found the games in Vegas during the WSOP really weak, even for someone who can barely break even at NL$50/NL$100 online (because I'm too much of a nit).

I played 18 hours on the equivalent of 2 buy-ins at $2/$5 (Caesar's, Rio and Bellagio), and was never in any risk of losing a full buy-in for the entire time. My local casino is just as bad at $1/$2 (max $500) ... I can't believe how *bad* the play is in comparison to online play.

As Julio partially suggested, play some NL$10/NL$25 full-ring before you go to play live just to get reacquainted with the sort of play that you'll be up against at most tables up to $2/$5 NL.
