Colorado is probably my favorite state in USA for hiking, food, and great people. Hopefully can travel there in future to play LHE although 50/100 kill games seems too high for me even if half kill.
Games are 30/60 with a 50/100 kill. I have no basis of comparison for "in USA". The old games in Albuquerque were better, but those died a long time ago. I've privately discouraged a number of pro friends from moving out here, because you're talking 1 casino in the state that has a game that is most often 1 table that doesn't run 24/7. Sure, prime nights you can get 2 or more tables, sometimes. There are people who post here who play the game way more than I do (paging Quantph), but I'd say it is a fun place for a Colorado vacation but not a pro destination.
The game plays much bigger than the old Bellagio 30/60. The rake is 10% capped at $5+ $2 BBJP, so in the 30 game, the first caller creates max rake. What is this, effectively 2x the rake of playing Bellagio 40/80? I think if my life depended on playing poker for income and nothing else mattered, I'd think about the Commerce, Hustler, and Bike as my three choices or Arizona (and learn mix games). Surf doc used to laugh at all of us idiots for not learning NL in like 2006. If you add in PLO to your big bet skills, he's more right today than then.
