Default Bellagio 15-30?? Help??

Hello,

I played there last night (thursday) and there was an average of 3 to a flop, with 90% of hands raised. Pots were significantly smaller than my local 10-20 (tons of maniacal LAG's). It was, in my estimation, a blind stealing chop fest. The other 3 tables really didn't seem much better.

Was this an abberation? Will it mostly likely be juicier tonight or tomorrow??
Maybe I suck. I looked around and couldn't find the sucker.

I'll be in the sportsbook tonight, so I'll at least have a look from the rail.

Thanks,
Ethan

Vegas games aren't the juiciest, I suggest LA or Phoenix if you want a loose lagfest on the west coast. But Vegas games tend to get wild at times none the less.

The games are definitely juicier on the weekend. Vegas is usually slow around this time though

Sometimes the 30-60 games are better. If you have the roll for it, maybe evaluate those games?

This happened when I visited during March Madness. The 15-30 games were awful, but the 30-60 games (from what I could tell) were very loose and passive, with horrible post-flop play. But I didn't bring enough money to play 30-60.

I know it's counterintuitive, but sometimes bigger games are better games.

Played some 15-30 this past Sunday night. Definitely not the loosest game I've ever played, though very beatable. Made $750 in a couple hours, although that was with some good cards. There were definitely somewhat OK players for the most part - a little too loose preflop and calling postflop, a little weak/passive postflop. Nobody to be scared of, although no really fishy types either.

Was that you with the iPod? I was the Asian eye doc. I'm definitely out of practice though. (Trying to forestall all criticism of my weak-tight play in advance.)

Bite me, goofball! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Seriously though, I didn't feel like the players were THAT bad - I have seen some REALLY bad B&M limit players. I thought these players were typical. No one who was just bleeding money, except for one chick who was there with her boyfriend.

Yeah, U of I. Asian dude in a black suit, I think 2 seats to your right. I didn't stay too long - only a couple of hours.
