If I push with the nuts and my opponent needs to catch runner-runner to catch me … let’s just say that you and I have a very, VERY different definition of the word “problem.”

Give me the fish any day, even if statistics show that they’ll get lucky once in a while.

I was just in Vegas this past weekend and I was talking to one of the poker room managers who was leaving Caesar’s for Hard Rock, and another dealer (I think from TI, I placed so many places in 5 days I can’t recall). Quite a few people were talking about how great Hard Rock is going to be. I’ll see on my next trip but in the end I think it’s not going to be anything special when the newness wears off.

As for the guy above me, I think The Bellagio has some easy 4-8 tables that can be run up pretty good. Every time I go there, and last weekend was no exception, there are always a few remnants of guys who played higher limits and went broke, and think they are too good for the 4-8 table, and thus only get themselves in deeper.

The problem in Vegas is the NL games with people who don’t know how to play. I spent about 5 at Caesar’s turning $120 into nearly a grand to only lose most of it to a guy who couldn’t give up his AK and went runner-runner to beat my flopped nut straight. I called a $50 raise with 8-9 suited, flop came 7-8-10, turn and river were J-Q. Anyone who knew how to play would have dumped the hand, especially because that A-K had no flush draw out there. Instead, guy bet $100 on the flop, I went all-in to chase him and the other 2 players out in case they had a flush draw, and Mr. AK called with crap and got super lucky. Give me the good players anyday.

I’ll check it out then when I am there the week after Labor Day. Bellagio/Venetian/Caesars are the nicest. I find Bellagio to be heaven with all their games available and tons of tables going. I find you can play endlessly there and the lines don’t drop.

Dan. You’ve been there 6 months now? 1 year? Give us your opinion on the easiest tables vs. the most difficult and what places you like to play at.

Inquiring minds want to know!
