luxor has $50max 1-2 NL , you can reload when you are under $50 though...

[/ QUOTE ]

Why on earth would you want to reload? The better question is whether you can buy into the $50 max for $20 or $25.

i'm 86.75% sure that you have to buy in for exactly $50 at the game.

It's a half-buy at most NL1/2 games. Probably will last you 15 minutes.

Why on earth would you put your entire trip's bankroll on the table? Some $1-2 games obviously don't require $100 min. (since the Luxor is $50 max). You'd do better there.

If you come to Vegas with a $100 poker roll expecting to leave with a profit, you have every probability of being disappointed. Plan to lose it and plan for the "entertainment" to not last very long.

Agreed 100%. But we seem to agree you can do some things to make it last longer than other things. 18 hours is better than 15 minutes.

My suggestion if you want to play poker: Buy into a $2/4 limit game for the minimum buy-in. I believe 5 BBet is standard, so that's $20. When you bust out, get up and walk around for a while.

Short-stacked limit is certainly suboptimal for good players in most cases. For bankroll preservation, though, what else can you do?

I did this a bit in Tunica, when I either wanted to visit a given casino (Sam's Town) but didn't want to buy in for $100 to the $1-2 and didn't want to take on the full variance of limit, or when another room's $50 min. $1-2 hadn't started yet and I needed to play $4/8. Sure, I was sacrificing EV, but busting out and driving home would have sacrificed EV.

(If Neteller would let me get at 40% of my poker bankroll, I'd think about these things a lot less. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img])

The Luxor nl game is not worth your time, seriously.

Use some of the $100 towards fees that you will incur from withdrawling from the ATM.

$100, I would put it all on the pass line and keep doubling up until I got $300-400 then you could spread that over 3 days.

This is actually how I had my first poker experience, I was in Vegas for the SEMA show this past November, saw that new Cirque show one night and afterwords walked into the Mirage poker room and bought in for $100 at 3/6 Limit, played for about 2 hours, cashed out for like $300... Soft limit games get my vote as the way to build up a small bankroll...
