Bankroll and planning a Vegas Trip

Cool,
thanks for all the advice guys. Made me look forward to it even more than before now.

play some NL$10/NL$25 full-ring before you go to play live just to get reacquainted with the sort of play that you'll be up against at most tables up to $2/$5 NL.

a very good idea.

And also play close attention to the players that know the Dealer by name, and vice-versa. Good idea to know who the locals are, as they usually play better. Always good to start conservatively, until you can feel out the table and your opponents.

It really does depend on how tight/loose you play. For example, I play micro-NL full ring online, and found the games in Vegas during the WSOP really weak, even for someone who can barely break even at NL$50/NL$100 online (because I'm too much of a nit).

Check your calendar. The WSOP is over. The vast majority of those players are long gone.

In some places, it's the biggest game in the room and you may see some faces you've seen on tv before.
