Table Changes

[Mano]

I am going to Vegas March 15-18 and will be staying at the Wynn on the poker rate (room rates in Vegas that weekend seem particularly steep - probably due to March Madness and Ace Hardware convention).

Anyways, I was wondering about the procedure for changing tables if you don't like the one you are on. Can you request a table change to a specific table, or just the next one that opens up? Is it worth it to grease the floor and tell them you would like to be seated at a "good table" when it opens up, or do they not even pay attention or know when a table is good? I will be playing mainly 4/8 LHE and perhaps some 1/3 NLH (may also play some O8 or mixed if they have any running at 10/20 level or below). Any advice/suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

You can request a certain able or just the first one that opens up. If you are playing low limits it's not likely they'll be able to refer you to a "good" table as 1) most 4/8 tables are the same, and 2) the floor isn't going to be paying attention to what the action is like at those tables.

The standard procedure is you take the first available seat. If you don't like that table, ask for a table change. Yes, you can specify a table, or just ask for any other table.

I think you're more likely in a smallish room to find a floor willing to tell you what NL1/2 tables are good. Mind you, most days it won't matter a lot and the table by table variations will be short-lived. At small rooms where there may only be 2 or 3 NL1/2 tables going and a floor that pays attention, you might get some advice. Dealers are often a better source of said info than the floor or cashier; you can ask an incoming dealer as he sits if there's anything better out there (realizing what this may do to your table image where you're now sitting).
