wouldn't check/folding the flop for the holdem hand be best? seems like we seldom have the best hand and outs are very tainted

What is normal wtsd for like 10 and 15 6max games for someone that is 30/22? I'm like 36 which seems really low but I already feel like I never fold.

I think any lower than 36 and your going into "too low" territory.. 36 is fine if ur playing it right.

I run about 29/22 and mine is just over 39 and I win monies.

Some thing to consider, is how your opponents percieve you. If you get a lot of really light call downs, your WTSD is going to be higher as well as if your calling down really light.
If your bullying people around post flop a lot, they're going to showdown lighter.. Thus your WTSD is going to be higher.
If you bluff more, your WTSD is going to be higher (since you will showdown if called, whereas before, you would have folded yourself).

Awesome hand today against my friend who I'm teaching poker.

Limped 4 ways, I limp in cutoff with a-2 clubs. Button raises, who is a tight tight player, emphasis on tight.

Flop comes

Turn:

I am dragging my broke ass out to Vegas this weekend. It will be permanently glued to a 15 seat at the Bellagio. Friday night-Monday afternoon. I will be clutching the very last bastions of my dollars in my hands and screaming about the 7 of diamonds. I need rent money. Stop by and say hi.

Poker is easy when the players tell you to have the pot in the middle of the hand. I am in the BB in a 6 handed limped pot with KQo black. Flop comes 886, and it is checked around to the button who bets, I decide to speculate with my overs and call, and 2 other limpers behind me call. As they are calling, the button says "I wonder who has an 8". Translation: "I don't have an 8, who wants to win this pot?". The turn comes a 5, putting two hearts on the board, I bet, and all three fold, as planned.

Another similar hand, I am in SB with KTo, and there are about 4 limpers, so I complete (I believe I was 3 for 3 with KTo last night). Flop comes 422, two diamonds, me having none of that shape. Checked to very loose button who calls, I call because I can easily win this pot, and BB calls, which means I am now beat. Turn comes a diamond, so I check, BB checks, and button checks. River is a diamond and I quickly bet, BB wants to call, but can't, and then gets mad at the dealer for beating his three 2s, and button obviously folds.

This game is easy.

Great....games filled with 2+2ers. I might as well go do something degenerate like craps or 6:5 pay single deck BJ and at least have a good time setting my money on fire :P

Oh well, if Bellagio, Mirage, and Wynn suck, I can always grind out a few tournaments.

Really. Are the weekend games fileld with decent players? Other suggestions of where to play 15-20 or 20-40?

LOL, I really don't know. It all kinda depends on what kind of tourist is visiting Vegas this weekend. There is a thread in the B&M forum by UCLABEN bemoaning what he perceived as games filled with tight aggressive locals. I've rarely experienced a game I would describe as that, and when I did it was the $10-20 at Mirage.

Anywho, your choices are gonna be $15-30 at Bellagio, $10-20 and/or $20-40 at Mirage, and $15-30 at Wynn. Its possible there is something in that range going at Venetian as well. Anyway, if things are that bad, the $8-16 at Wynn is always filled with donkeys and the $10-20 Omaha 8 players at Wynn were pretty bad as well.
