Luxor $1/1/2 $50 NL Buy in?!?!
What horse doodoo is this!? I was in Vegas last week and was amazed at this structure. Triple blinds, 1/1/2 @ just a $50 buy in? That's the worst I've seen @ any casino. You're basically pot committed with any PFR.

I've seen multiple $400+ stacks in that game, but it took a fair amount of retardation for them to get that deep. The only reason to play it is if you're breaking someone in to live NLHE and they're a little timid. It's also good practice for early-stage shortstack tournament play.

If course its bad for a good postflop player. Oh well, they did not build pokerrooms for the 2+2 players. If you want to beat this game, you gotta gamble it up with your initial buy in and get to 150 or higher. Then you will have a huge advantage over the other newbies at the table. |

Luxor is the worst NL game in the city. At least they use red checks.
Note that as soon as you get to $49, you can buy another $50 (essentially, sit down and throw the dealer a dollar, and you can rebuy), so it is really a $99 max game. |
