Subject: 10/20 limit hold em in vegas


seemingly due to the proliferation of no-limit over the past two years,
my internet research tells me that there are only 5 casinos in vegas
where one can find a game of 10/20 limit hold em (or some limit game
between 8/16 and 20/40) at any given time during a week. these are:
venetian, wynn, bellagio, mirage, and red rock. according to what i
have been reading, some other places might have some 10/20 on the
weekend, but the five listed above are the only ones where you can find
the game on a thursday afternoon, a sunday morning, or any time you
desire.

to anyone that might know: is this true? can you indeed find a 10/20
game at these places at any time? can you find one at more places? can
you find one at less places? has limit hold em in vegas really sunk to
basically all crap like 2/4 and 3/6? and how are the players in these
10/20 games? are they locals, tourists, beatable, unbeatable?

any info is appreciated

Don't think so - all no/low limit.

Yes.

Yes

No more.

Orleans used to have a fairly consistent but useless 10-20.

All of these casinos have 800 numbers if you're out of state.

It is my opinion that limit hold'em will make a comeback. I see many of
these NL newbies from TV poker and left over Internet players moving to
limit poker. $10-$20 will be back. The NL bubble is about to burst.
Just over 3 years ago you couldn't find a NL game anywhere (except for
the $1-$2 at Binion's). Now it is 3/4 or better NL in most rooms.

What is weird is watching the old school $10-$20 players having to
adapt to NL. It's very strange to be witness to it.

It will balance out as soon as the players I mentioned above make a
demand to play $5-$10 and $10-$20. It will happen. I look for rooms to
open dead spreads and try to bring back these games as the NL bubble
bursts.

Not as long as this max NL buy-in crap continues.
It was all a screw up when they did that instead of spread limit games.
