I concur as will many. You don't exist playing 2/5. Floor are total snobs, and give you disgusted looks when you go to the back tiny office for a comp.

So I am only going to bring like $1,000.00 to play the $1-$2 tables is MGm Belagio and Circus Circus prob the best choices ???

I don't know how long you're going to Vegas for but, I wouldn't want my time to be spent at Circus Circus.

i played some 2/5 in the pavillion and in the rio poker room last year. and i liked it enough that i'm staying at the rio for another week this year. the lowest stakes games they have are 1/3 with a 300 max. in the poker room, they rake an extra buck for the royal flush jackpots and whatever. the pavillion is where you'll get a constant turnover of players from the tournaments and such. you usually know right when they sit down if they just busted in a tourney and they usually pick bad spots to get their chips in and walk away empty-handed and even more pissed.

a $5 rake is higher than average and i don't love it, but the action you get from so many players trying to constantly outplay each other might make it worth it. i'll give a better review at the end of this june

100 dedicated tables for cash games this year. Pretty awesome.

Yea, I was just looking at the rake and those three seem to be taking the least amount ?

WSOP cash games don't have shufflers BTW.

Just forget you ever even heard about Circus Circus. I really don't know how you linked that place with MGM and Bellagio.

Obviously don't play at Circus Circus. I wouldn't recommend Bellagio for 1-2 because the room is kind of uncomfortable. I haven't played at MGM, but I have heard it is a good room for low stakes. Why wouldn't you play at Venetian?

I guess there Rake is the same yes that's another option TY.

10% rake /$4 max $300.00 buyin max


Ps: Also I'm from Oregon don't know where the good spots to play are . Anyone know about playing in Old Vegas Freemont area also?

The major reason to not grind 1/2 at Bellagio other than once for the "I played at Bellagio" feeling, is because you will be on the wait-list forever. There is no reason at all to play Downtown or even go there for more than 1-2 hours to just see it for the first time. Golden Nugget would be the place to play if you disobey me, and their 1-2 is uncapped, but their chairs are miserable.

Good point . . . I am short and it feels like my chin is resting on the table

Is there anywhere online I can see which / how many cash games are running in Rio?

If you open up your Bravo Poker Live App (available on Android and iPhone) the WSOP cash games are now listed separately from the Rio cash games.

You can also just look on the Bravo website.
