The Palms cash games
Any one play at The Palms very much? I'm staying there next week for a few nights and will of course go over to the Rio as well but was wondering what the NL cash games are like?
2-5 has a $1000 max it says on their site...... The room nice? Run well? A lot of local grinders? I appreciate any thoughts on the room, thanks! |

Re: The Palms cash games
I cannot say how the palms game is, in particular. I would think bigger cap games like that would have more grinders ( IE good players make more money in deep stack situations). However, I was not impressed by the grinders in Las Vegas games. I played 10/20 nl 5/10 and 2/5 and almost everyone was terrible (similar skill levels across the games). I didn't meet one player I could respect in at 2/5nl Bellagio or MGM.
Honestly, the 5/10 played like an online 1/2 nl game. I am fairly certain any 2/5 game you will play should be relatively easy. Just based on my experiences (I go about 5-6 times a year), all the decent grinders are playing atleast 5/10 so you shouldn't be too worried if you are a winning player. Also, remember to loosen up a little in late position. This is live poker kiddies. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: The Palms cash games
I play quite a bit live and have played in a lot of casinos in Vegas, just never at the Palms.
Has anyone played the $1000 game there? |

Re: The Palms cash games
I played there on Saturday afternoon. I cashed out a couple of hundred after being stuck for $800. There were some young guys from Boston that enjoyed the cocktails and big bets. I had dinner reservations or otherwise I would have stayed.
Nice room, very close to the restrooms. |

The game can get pretty wild. Especially weekend evenings. Sure there are locals playing, but you also get a mix of tourists and club goers.

Re: The Palms cash games
Last time I was by there one of the 2/5 games had several $3k+ stacks - and they do cap the buyin. In fact I hav heard they won't let black chips play (to avoid someone sneaking in > cap) though they may have changed that.
