Where to play Poker in Las Vegas without burning your bank account

PokerDell — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 15:37:17 +0000

The bright lights of the Sin City, the crowd, the chips clicking on the poker tables, the culture of splurge ensures that you will be going home with your wallet empty. Not really. Having fun in Las Vegas does not mean burning all your savings. You just need to know where to go, where to play, and where to have fun.

Softest poker cash games

It will be a bit difficult to pinpoint where the softest poker games are in Las Vegas but going to the following places might help:

Mandalay Bay – This is a good place to make some money. There are a lot of bad and drunk poker players here.
MGM Grand – The casino at MGM Grand is a magnet to tourists because of its proximity to the nightclubs. It is also a good place to play cash games.
Imperial Palace – There are high rollers here, but go late and you will find intoxicated poker players. You can clean up their stack if you want.

Affordable poker tournaments

If you want to find out how you play in the real world of poker tournaments, you can first try at best value poker tournaments in these places:

Mirage – They have a twenty table cardroom that runs an 11am and a 7 pm tournament. The best thing will be their Friday evening poker tournaments which you can get into for $150 giving you 7,500 chips.
Orleans – Poker players know that the Orleans has one of the best card rooms in Las Vegas. There are also daily tournaments which you can join for as low as $75.
CityCenter – Their early afternoon tournament has a buy in of $120 where you get 8,000 chips. This may be the best buy in all of Vegas.

Live Poker is RIGGED

OMFG I was playing a $2/$5 game at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas like a couple days ago and I’m so sure something was fishy there. One hand says it all. I’m holding P3’s and decide to limp into the pot in late position alright? Five people see a flop which puts $27 in the middle, and the flop comes AJ3. Sick beautifulness WOOPPAAAA!

Everyone checks to me and I bet out, $20. One Belgian guy who I later found has a poker blog called Sven’s Tight Poker Tips calls my bet and we see the turn which comes a seven. Still no draws out there, and Sven checks to me. I bet out $55 into a $67 pot, and get called again. The pot is now up to $177 which was good for me as I wanted to be able to move about $120 at the end anyway.

The river hits another seven, a great card for me — especially when all of a sudden Sven bets out $180. Beautiful, right? I shove after him, and he instacalls flipping over A7.

WHAAT? Nigga I was cruising, and he hit running sevens to beat my boat. Sickness. He was all apologetic afterwards, but wtf I’m so sure the dealer was in on this…….. SICKNESS.

HOW CAN THEY ALLOW THIS IN THE GAMING COMMISSION??? THEY DONT WANT POKER TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH GAMBLING BUT THEN THEY MAKE US PLAYERS ADDICTED TO THE BLACKJACK GAME TWENTYONE???
