Any poker players?

[co21ss]

Damn, missed you by a week. Ill be there starting the 6th. Always good to meet a fellow poker drinker.
My first trips, the Mirage had the busiest poker rooms, but I was always too intimidated to play. Then I found MGM, and now Im good playing anywhere, though I always prefer the Lion for a good time.
My favourite part is how the serious players get ticked off at the music from the Centrifuge bar, and Im just lovin' it.

Hard to hear calls with the music at full bore! Have fun next week and a double shot of Patron with Aces up!

I've never played in a Casino...im kinda scared to look dumb lol.

I always play house games though.

MGM is a great place to pop your cherry. Its a very easy going attitude at the lower limits. A majority of the dealers, players and staff are all very helpful to newbies.

If you like poker, I highly recommend you take the time to sit down and enjoy. I love to sit at something like 2-4 or 3-6 limit, get great drink service, and realize an hour later I made some friends, got hammered and played poker without losing a dime.
The right table with the right players+dealers can be just as good as a casual bar. You wont regret it, who cares what others think, just sit and have some fun.

Hmmm...I might do this then. I just know that some people are so serious about cards and I'm not...I like to play for fun, of course I enjoy winning but cards aren't a staple for me in Vegas. Last time I went I only played penny slots for free drinks while we waited for people. I used to play Black Jack a lot and I remember how serious people were when someone made a bad hit or whatever.

Sounds like I might be able to try it out there if its low-key and n00b friendly. Thanks!

If you stick to the lower limits you should be fine. You'll probly still deal with players getting bad beats, specially if your the one giving them the beats! lol

But dont you guys have casinos up in NorCal? I'd say just to not be 100% new to a poker room check one out one day. That's what I did down here in Diego. They actually used to have a $1/1 game with a $20-40 buy-in that I started playing. Had some awesome times with those lower limits.

lol.

one of my favourite nights in that poker room was spent drinking my first ever Don Julio Tequila+red bull. A fellow player "bought" me one after a bad beat (they actually charged for it), but the waitress stopped charging us after the 2nd round, and then we kept going back and forth just for fun, and suddenly like 5/6 people at the table were drinking it with us.

I think I had like 4/5 Red Bulls that night. Never again.
Don Julio though, no probs!

Hows your bankroll after this last trip? Went well I hope.

Bankroll is pretty healthy after this last trip. Stashed some away for the next one. I hardly played any poker, but did manage to come out ahead overall in that respect. Overall gaming was about even. Good luck this week.

I play a good amount, venetian, bellagio, and the wynn are good rooms and where I play the most often. Citycenters is starting to pick up as well especially on the weekends. Normally play 2,5. with some 5.10 every once in a while.

As my screen name suggests, I'm a hold em fanatic. Played the $2500 WSOP event last year, but busted first day.

Anybody else play? Where are your favorite rooms?

I will be looking to play this coming weekend. Last time I was in town I found the card room at The Venetian to be excellent. I was staying at the Encore, so the location was perfect and they had low stakes tables ($1/$2 NL).

As far as tournaments go, I think the best bang for the buck might actually be at The Orleans. You get a deep stack for ~$40 (+$3 or something for some bonus chips). I think the blinds moved every 15 minutes or so, so you had time and chips to pick your spots.

texas holdem is my favorite , i like to play poker too.. maybe you can try casino online , it's good

Hard question to answer, depends on your limits (to select a favorite poker room).

Bellagio, Venetian and Aria for 5/10NL and above with Belliago leading the pack (best game selection).

[Skoredie]

I prefer the Venetian the most for tournaments. For cash games I prefer the more low stake casinos.

I'll be in Vegas next week. Going to try out the PH poker room, if it's not fishy enough, to the MGM. Can't wait.

I?ve heard the same about Venetian ? great room, especially for low stakes if you?re staying nearby. Orleans tournaments are definitely solid value too, those structures give you a lot of play for the money.

If you?re also considering mixing in some online sessions or just comparing options, I usually check this list https://www.pokerlistings.com/casino-sites its a pretty good breakdown of different sites and what they offer.

Let me know where you end up playing this weekend.
