Made a lot of money playing online poker during the good old days. Since then I've been trying to grind it out playing 1-2 to 2-5, I'm telling you it's much harder then it seems. If I didn't have a good bankroll, I'd be barely surviving.

Played at most of the rooms in Vegas, not a big enough difference to say which has the worst players. Poker is boring, need a job!

Played in LV this past week...mostly 2-5 but also some 1-3 at the Wynn..you definitely have to bounce from table to table if you want to max out a good hourly rate.. I Crack up at 2+2ers on here who advise sticking to one game , one seat or one room..

I would trade aria for somewhere like Caesars Palace or planet Hollywood but that's my opinion from personal experience

Yeah Caesars room has been getting a lot of thumbs-up recently. Lower rake and no jackpot drop? Definitely needs to be worked into the rotation

just came back from a session at Caesars, game gets full fast. They really turned that room around.

Couple years ago Resorts World Manilla lowered their rake to 5%..It was sweet winning a 400 peso pot and only paying a 20 peso rake..I felt like I could limp in just about every pot and have + value

I'd love it if the Caesars move influenced other LV casino's to go with 5%. Unlikely but definitely a dream scenario for 1-2 or 1-3 grinders.

Actually, I'd love it if they switched to raking pesos. That would be fun.

But what's the max rake?
Because a $400 pot would only pay a rake of $4...

Going from the highest rake on the Strip to the lowest doesn't hurt.

Caesars has probably gotten extra business from PH moving its room and from
the Mirage closing down their room.

Is there ever a year where they don't move it? I don't play there all that much but I think I've played in at least 4 different locations, and I haven't played in it's current location.

I have never once seen someone on 2+2 suggest to stay at one table. In fact its very often suggested to table/game select.

I think there are lots of people who have a preferred room and many who know better that settle in at a table and stay they when there are much better opportunities elsewhere, even in the same room.

But I do agree that I have really seen anyone advising folks stay at the same table.

2+2ers have thrown that advice around plenty of times..

Ive played a grand total of 7 hours of poker at the Red Rock and now I have 21 free nights at their hotel during the WSOP..Now that's one hell of a promo!..Based on my limited experience when playing small stakes (1-2 1-3) ..I have to move RR up to #1 ahead of the Wynn on my list..
