The current issue of the 2+2 Magazine has my article and latest survey of poker games in Las Vegas.

Thank you again for the survey. It appears that despite the number of rooms closing, poker is stabilizing on the strip.

I just find it crazy that there is zero action * outside of B* in LV for limit holdem over 4/8. I also wonder why I have always gravitated towards limit games? Obviously I'm in a small player pool that loves limit!

I'm with you on limit. I would think the fast paced action and less folding would attract players, but TV and movies have taught people that NLHE is the only way to play poker. I think limit is significantly more fun to play. The B doing time instead of rake means no one wants to compete with them IMO.

This thread always makes me sad since I prefer limit.

And if you wanted to play seven-card stud at those limits, all the games were at The Mirage.

It makes me sad too, I prefer limit so much more (for cash games).

For Omaha, looking at the Bravo App, I get the impression that the only consistent PLO games are at the Aria and the only o8 games 15-30+ are at the Venetian correct?

Why would "off strip" not at least include the Rio? Or the Hard Rock, West Gate, Boulder Station, etc? Boulder Station has 6 to 8 games running every night and is as close to the strip as Red Rock.

Does Aria really have a weekly $300-600nl game? Is it exclusive or can anyone play?

Yeah
Blackhawk is on bravo and will be a good resource
Believe it is for Android as well as iOS.
There is a thread around here somewhere about it as well.

It's depressing to see the limit games that are offered that we can't seem to get here in Florida.

At our casino, once every other month there might be a 3/6 Hold'em game, otherwise 4/8 is the highest.

We routinely get 6/12 OE, 4/8 Omaha w/ 1/2 Kill on a daily basis, and once or twice a week is a 10/20 Omaha game.

Would kill to get a 10/20 or 5/10 limit Hold'em game down here.

Anyone can play. It's been a regular game there for a while.

My guess is a random showing up at that game would be extremely welcomed.
