ibuddy 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hey guys going to be out in Vegas this week just curious on where you guys think good action is at? I usually like to play $2-5 NL Link to post Share on other sites
sdc12303 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I think that Wynn has the easiest competition. Mirage has had a lot of regulars in the 2-5 when I have played there. Bellagio has been pretty hit or miss for me, Sometimes the table is filled with rookies who just want to play poker at the Mecca, but sometimes it is filled with tough players. I would definetly say the Wynn out of these 3 choices. MGM and Caesers would be my suggestions though if you are looking to make good money. Link to post Share on other sites

Cheppa 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 A buddy of mine goes to Vegas on a regular basis... he swears by the Flamingo. He is an average player and does well there. Another friend of mine, who I put in the top three players in my area, just went to the Belagio for 7 days, he played 2-5NL, and then mostly 5-10NL, and made $12,000 for 7 days.I have not been to Vegas for 2 years now, but when I used to go... I found the Mirage had some good games. Don't play the 10/20 Limit... too tough the 20/40 limit is a better game. A lot of leather rear-ends at the 10/20 limit at the Mirage. If you can beat that game... you are a very good player. Good game to improve your limit skills at though. I on the other hand will be found at the Belagio and maybe the Flamingo (Flamingo sounds juicy), from July 4th - 13th, when I am not playing the World Series Main event. Hope I have the problem of having to change my return date.PS... I don't play online anymore.. Have not for the last 10 months, I play only Brick and Mortar, and won more than enough money playing 2-5NL and the occasional 5-10NL games, when 5/10NL happens. I have won enough money this year staying off line and playing a regular 2-5NL that I can pay my entry fee to the main event for the next 7 years. ON LINE IS RIGGED!!!!

troyomac 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 The Wynn is a really tough NL game. I recommend either the Rio (though it's a bit of a rock garden), or the Venetian (I haven't played the 2-5 there but I hear it's soft) Link to post Share on other sites
Cheppa 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I heard the locals don't like the Venitian because the poker room is too far from the parking lot. Apparently the walk is rediculous. LMAO when I heard that. Link to post Share on other sites
mtdesmoines 3 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 The Wynn is a really tough NL game.I didn't think so any of the times I've played there. I've seen loose games in every house on the strip. Just keep moving until you find a good one. Link to post Share on other sites
Jdr999 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 www.allvegaspoker.comSeems like best games for $2/$5 is MGM Grand or Mandalay Bay ($2/$4) Link to post Share on other sites
NoSup4U 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Right now how can you pass up the Rio? 2/5nl is the smallest game they spread there, so every donk that barely plays is in that game I think???Mark Link to post Share on other sites

The 2-5 is so soft. At least it is for me. I've played three sessions and tripled up my $300 buyin in the first hour without too much trouble or risk. People are willing to call big bets with second pair or weak aces all the way down. The only question is how long do you want to sit in the game.As always your results/experience may vary.

Dubey 1,035 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 When I was there midweek earlier in the month, the Bellagio 2-5 game was juicier than any 1-2 table I played at at any casino all week. Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 How long is the list for 2-5 at the Rio. 2 hours? Link to post Share on other sites
BDPoolie 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I just got back from Vegas and I found the easiest room was at the MGM. I don't play that high and only play 1/2NL. I played there 3 nights, and on 2 of the nights I had doubled up, and on 1 night had tripled up, all within the first hour of play.Mirage was okay, but after taking a terrible bad beat in a Sit-n-Go, I left disgusted. In hindsight, I should have stayed and played a cash game with that donkey.Flamingo was pretty good last time I played there earlier this year. I also played the Hilton, as that's where I was staying. Lots of regulars there. Pretty good players, but they are also easy to read once you play a few hours with them.

H_Factor73 2 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 How long is the list for 2-5 at the Rio. 2 hours?It depends. I think the longest I have waited is about 30 - 40 minutes. Other times, I've just walked right in and sat down. They always seem to be opening new tables often because they are raking the sheit out of the tables ($4 on most every hand) and they always want something running. Link to post Share on other sites
weakdraw 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Bellagio > Venetian > WynnEven tho its close between Bellagio and Venetian. Also evening and Night time is alot softer.GL Link to post Share on other sites
mtdesmoines 3 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 you've made 70K this year playing 2/5?.......um...........yeah..........i'm gonna need you to come in on saturday..........$1,000 a night at $2/5 NL in vegas is very conceivable. I've pulled about that off $2/5 every time I've played. It's when I get ripped and play $1/2 that we have a problem. Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I see this same thread posted every other day, and have seen just about every room come up. anyways just outta curiosity, what are the tougher rooms in vegas?Probably none. Link to post Share on other sites
zwall82 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 why do you think he hasnt made 70K in one year playing 2-5nl live. This can be done prett easy. The 2-5 games are so unique espicially the games with no cap. Link to post Share on other sites

Venetian seemed to have good games too. Link to post Share on other sites

No more vicious beats by the random number gernator, for me. And...umm.....if you don't think it is possible, well...you might want to give up this game. Here fishy...fishy!!!
