Poker in Reno vs. South Lake Tahoe - Page 2

I will let you know how it is. I am mostly a mid-limit player so I am still adjusting to NL.

I think the El Dorado still has the big NL game but it has some very wealthy, tight, and good players in it. The pots can get big but you better be holding the nuts or the other guy will be.

I used to fool around in the 4/8 limit game for the bad beat jackpot but the 1/2 NL game killed it and the 1/2 NL game is hard to beat the $5 rake.

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.

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

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.

What a night. There were about 10 tables going when I got there at 7:00pm. The mix was 3 3/6 limit games and then the rest were 1/2, 2/3, and 3/5 nl games. Don Chittle from Ocean's 13 was playing a 2/3 NL, and I heard Michael Jordan was at Harrahs playing 5k a hand BJ.

I got on the list for the 3/5 and they got a short handed must move going in about 30 min. We started with 4 and filled up pretty quickly. My high point was up about 150 when I got KK 3 times in about 10 hands. Each time I would raise and get 2-4 callers and an Ace would flop. The second time 2 aces came on the flop. I did a small continuation bet and then just checked it down. Lost every hand. That got me to about 400 and I basically got blinded off or call fold on some flops. I played until 12:30 and lost 300. How long can you be card dead. I have been doing it for 1.5 months now.

As far as the rest of the game goes, it was juicy. Plenty of action and players re-buying the 1k max. There were a few good players that you had to respect but half the table were fish too. Half the table was doing a 10 live straddle so each pot was worth winning.

Bottom line, the games were great and I look forward to going back real soon.

Where was this? What's the difference between 1/2 and 2/3 besides a dollar?

scott2130 · #19 07-14-2007, 04:17 PM

Lake Tahoe, NV. I don't know the diff. I didn't play them. I would guess not much.

I'm going to south lake tahoe, i'll be there thursday mid day and leaving sunday mid day. I've never been before, and only going to check out the action as I've seen in this thread. I'll be spending a few days at Fallen Leaf Lake before hand.. I'm leaving for there tonight and staying through wednesday.

Ace: What casino do you deal at?

Where do you recommend staying? I'll be playing the 3/5 NL
