Clarifying \"Medium Stakes\"
From the sticky:
[ QUOTE ] This forum is for limit holdem hands in the range of 10/20 to 40/80. [/ QUOTE ] Does this refer to online playing or live? Perhaps a short introduction is in order to clear up why I'm asking: I a long time microlimit player/poster who has recently moved to Henderson and interested in playing live (probably jumping in at 15/30). But before I do that, I want to lurk the forum here to see if my game is roughly on par with the types of games I hope to play. Also, I've looked at www.allvegaspoker.com to see what games are housed where, but I don't know how up to date it is. Below is what I found. Does it sound about right (for any Vegas regulars out there)? $10/20 - Binions (usually weekends), Ceasars (occasionally on weekends), Mirage (regularly) $15/30 - Red Rock (occasionally), Venetian (regularly), Wynn (regularly), Bellagio (regularly with sometimes long waits) $20/40 - Mirage (regularly) |

Re: Clarifying \"Medium Stakes\"
it's online or live
and I can't really comment on all the ML games in vegas, but the wynn and bellagio have always been good to me. |

Re: Clarifying \"Medium Stakes\"
During WSOP might be different, but forget about Caesars.
Bellagio has 15/30 and 30/60 (along with 8/16) Wynn has 15/30 and 30/60 (can't remember if they run 8/16) Venetian sporatically has games. Mirage has 10/20 and 20/40. I have only played the Mirage 10/20, and Bellagio/Wynn 15/30. I enjoy the 15/30 game a lot. My advice, start with the Bellagio 8/16 game, simply to get used to playing live, and some of the players. And live play is different from online play in general. That game requires between 300-600 on an average day to play. |

But rather than dwell on the time missed, I'll look ahead to see what I have to gain. |

I've played live before multiple times over the last 5-6 years, and I'm pretty comfortable with the live poker room environment. |

Re: Clarifying \"Medium Stakes\"
Not just the mechanics, but the thinking behind it. Especially if you have been playing 6-max online. Online play is either a lot tighter (full ring) or a lot looser (6-max) than a live full game. And most shorthanded games never get as aggressive as the 6-max games online.

I've never played microlimit online, but I can't imagine the games are anything like a live 15/30 game. Why would you do this? Did you scratch up $10k playing .25/.50 on Pokerstars? Am I missing something here? |

I think I could pick the nine most tight aggressive players that I have played with and put them in a live game and It would be more passive than online. I've never really played limit anywhere but CAZ, may be different other places. |
