Venetian: Changes in the cash NL games/Tournaments/Comps

[LasVegasMichael]

Just thought I would let everyone who cares know that Venetian is changing a few things soon (also keep in mind that the hour grinders are gone now, as the freeroll qualifying period ended).

No, I am not an employee, just a regular low limit player there (and an admitted fanboy). [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Cash NL Changes

The 2/5NL is going from $500 max to $1K Max (effective 8/01)

There is now a 1/3 NL game with a $300 max ($3 chips).

They are still running the 1/2 $200 max game that uses red chips, but it looks like the 1/3 might replace it soon.

++++++++++++++

Now, opinion stuff. I am really liking the 1/3NL game. The action seems to be significantly better then the 1/2 (plus you get a rack of chips, which makes for bigger pots for the tourist eyes). Because of the series, saw Steve Zolotow playing the 1/3 which I thought was pretty funny. Also, Al Krux was buying into the tournament when I left. I am hoping this 1/3 will kill off the 1/2 sooner rather then later. We shall see.
