I usually play 5-10 10-20 in Vegas.
I heard Venetian has good game, but huge rake. What is the rake exactly? I find many different answer online.
There is another place where the 50-100 run other than Venetian and Wynn?
thank you
Haven't been in like half a year or so someone may update if incorrect:
Wynn (Nam Van) is the only place that consistently runs 50-100+
CoD usually has a considerable action across the stakes when a tourney series runs, little to no action when not.
Venetian will run 50/100 more often than other places but it's not a sure thing. Particularly so at off-times (weekdays, during the day, summer). Wynn Cotai, Galaxy will have 50/100 sporadically.
Best bet is to come during a big tourney series.
The rake is 5% capped at 200 HKD for all places except Venetian capped at 250 for 25/50 and 300 for 50/100 (not sure about 100/200, but I think its 400).
Yes, IME the 50/100 at Venetian and also all the other places tend to be better than Wynn (Nam Van) when they run. Prolly partially due to the absurd rake and them being not a regular offering. However, IMHO, even aside from the rake, compared to good places like the US, all games at least in the area up to 100/200, suck and many games up to 100/200 are prolly unbeatable long-term due to the rake and lack of fun players.
I heard it's better at high stakes (Wynn Nam Van has 300/600+ more or less consistently) but this is second/third hand info.
