Small Stakes at Vegas....???

by **AlexMR** » Wed May 18, 2005 8:36 pm

Hi,

I am planning a trip to Vegas in August, probably for the WSOP. I want to know if there are small stakes tables at the casinos. Let´s say 0.25BB = NL$25 or maximum 0.5BB = NL$50.

I am still playing at NL$25. Already have the bankroll for NL$50 (1200+-) but want to stay maybe a month beating the $25 buy in tables.

Where are the softest games for this stakes??

I don't think they have any games at that low of stake. The lowest I saw was 100 buy in with 1/2 blinds. I played at the Imperial Palace and the Aladdin and both the games were pretty good. However, with only 50bb, you may take some swings. I'm pretty sure those are gonna be the lowest NL stakes you will find.

Alex,

I am also a low stakes NL player $50 and $100 ring games on Party and I have played at a couple casino's while on travel for work (Foxwoods, Hollywood Park, Commerce, and Bike). I havn't played NL in Vegas but assume its similar. I can assure your that 75% of the players at your $100 1/2 casino game will be no better than the players you see on line, in fact most will probably be worse. It does seem like there is alwayse 1 or 2 solid players but just try to figure out who they are and respect them and you should be fine.

I am sure some of the live game pros can tell you where to play.

MVP, yeah I have been downtown before but I have never played poker there. I really wanted to play at the Horseshoe but I ran out of time. I have a collection of $1 chips from every casino I have played at, and having one from Binions would be nice. I'll be heading back to Vegas at the end of June, so I'll play when I get there.

What BKaz said is very true, my last trip it was funny to watch my brother play a little timid at first became he had never played at that limit, then to watch him loosen up as he realized that some of the people playing the 2/5 at the bellagio played a lot like the $25 NL on party. If you want low stakes I recommend the Alladin, very nice poker room and some good $100 NL games.

I dont know what it is about 1/2 Nl Euri is right, or maybe I'm just hypnotised by the lady with the large swinging "personality". My weird 1/2 hand at commerce a while back, I get AA from the BB, 3 or 4 players limp SB makes it $10 to go. I bump it to $40 and get 4 callers including SB, ok so now I have $60 left and the pot is $160 hmm, all in seems like the only move. I got callers from j/9 off, 44 and A6s, huh.

Euri... you must be playing at the weaker tables... I've seen tons of 1/2 NL games where the PF raise is $25+ and still gets callers... it's freakin wonderful, you just sit back, wait till you get a monster, and are guaranteed to get callers like Rhound experienced...

BTW Euri... if we ever meet and turns out you're some 40+ fat guy, I'll be VERY disappointed...

Come on Euri, as much as I enjoy seeing a little jiggle jiggle, that has gotta be computer generated, IMHO.

Euri... There's no problem w/ being hopeful... BTW... if that really is her, does she have a sister...
