Was planning to go to Tahoe tomorrow night to check out the action. I haven't been there for awhile and it is summer season so I'm interested to see what is going on. I need a change from Reno anyway,tired of playing with the same people.

Aren't the weekends good in Reno? It would seem the influx of tourists on the weekends would make the Reno games good, and should see less regulars at the table?

There are more people on the weekends but I play mostly mid-limit and I still know 2/3 or more of the table on the weekends.

Scott,

Let me know how the trip to Tahoe goes. Someone mentioned a 2/3/5 10 to come in at the El Dorado in Reno. Do they still spread that (would be right up my alley)? Thanks

you wont find games as good as the ones in tahoe. 3-5NL 1000$ cap on the game, I deal it nightly, and its just incredible. Plus people playing in tahoe are generally classy happy people, you just cant go wrong. AND its celebrity golf week in tahoe, so you will prob be playing with Don Cheadle, Roy Green, Niel Lomax, and many others. Renos not bad, but the 3-5-10 at El dorado has some good players in it....theres usually never even 1 in tahoe. my two cents....and im an expert on this specific issue [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] plus there is another ten 2-3 300 cap NL games which are incredibly soft. Tahoe is very +ev, fresh air beautiful women bla bla bla

Games in tahoe are much better plus tahoe is just more fun than reno. I had a hell of a time finding a good NL game in Reno, as tables were short handed and everyone was playing limit. Tahoe had a lot of NL tables at different stakes and most of the players were extremly bad but very happy to gamble gamble gamble.

Thanks for the info Ace,

That sounds like the perfect situation. You mentioned you deal the 3-5NL game nightly. It sounds like its spread every night, is that the case? Also, is it spread during the day or mainly just at night? Thanks again!

generally every night during the summer, but certainly 5 nights a week, (monday and wed its spread 80% of the time, this summer has been slow). You wont be dissapointed all around.

Thanks for the info guys. Looks like I'm headed to South Lake Tahoe. I'm there Aug 29th-Sept 4th and will be at the tables at least 5 hrs a day so I might run into ya. The names Bob from the San Fran Bay area (just moved there from Colorado). I'll be the guy wearing a blue hat that says Bubba on it. Kind of a dumb hat actually but since I won a tourney wearing it, it’s become my "playing poker" hat. Imagine that, a gambler who's a little superstitious.
