softest 1/2 or 1/3 room? - Page 2 - Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum - Las Vegas Entertainment and Living Information

Yeah people keep saying "lololol 1/2 all games are soft". Well maybe if you're a 5/10 crusher all they're soft for you. But for us 1/2 kids trying to improve and move up some games where we have a $5/hr win rate and some games we have a $15-$20/hr win rate, the difference is huge. All I'm gonna say is in 100 hours of playing here I've never had a winning session in a room with a freeroll and I've never had a losing session in a room without one. Coincidence? Maybe or maybe not.

I concur with mrducks, table select, look at stack sizes, if people are talking, drinking, enjoying the game in general, usually that game is one you want to be in over a game with little money, hoodies and headphones and the blinds chopping every other hand.

How often do you see such games? They've been like hen's teeth on my visits.

Weekends and nights are as you would think normally the best times. Caesar's is my favorite room but that's a personal preference, to me it just comes down to selecting good tables, usually rooms that have 6 or more tables of 1/2 1/3 running are good, and yeah freerolls or hours promotions tend to be less good.

Huh, Caesars had been the anti-loose-drunk table room, to the point that I've seen regs pounding their heads on the table and moaning loudly about the lack of action. They were running the double tier credit promotion and there were lots of people just taking up space, including me.

Yeah people complain about Caesar's for that reason a lot, and it can be true, but when they have 9 or more tables going on the weekends it's pretty easy to find a good table. It's a really well-run room with good dealers across the board.
