Anyone know when the 5/10 game became capped at the Venetian? Last time I was there 5/10 had no max, now it looks like the 10/20 is no max. I think Bellagio always had a cap in their 5/10 game.
For those who like to play 2/5+, where are your favourite rooms? I find Venetian has too many regulars but it is a great room. Is Aria worth the trek?
Here are my suggestions for cash games as of Dec. 10th:
1/2 - Venetian (lots of tables to choose from)
2/5 - Wynn or Venetian (Wynn has very deep 2/5 at $1,500 max and most players buy in $1,000 +). Bellagio is only $500 max blah.
5/10 - Bellagio - only saw it running at Bellagio and usually three tables by mid day.
Alex and Jac are on their way back home after we dropped them off at the airport after the traditional Hash House humungo breakfast!
Pinball hall of fame this aft. Sweet. 3 hours for $10 in quarters. Lotsa wins for free games and high scores set in Asteroids, Miss Pac Pan and Midway / 1942 and something about balls in Rudy's mouth. Pics and details to follow from Rob.
And now back to some more poker at Aria / Bellagio and railing Toronto Pimp.

Great seeing moose and meeting seekthegrail today.
Made it to day 3 . There were around 580 entries and we are down to 210.
I did have a really tough table draw to start the day with darren elias sitting to my left and billionaire cary katz who plays one drop every year along with pratyush buddiga who won the super high roller 2 days ago at aria.
I was super happy when they said our table was breaking .
So i move to a table and darren elias is once again in the seat to my left followed by nick schulman then dan obrian some random guy then daniel negraneau follwed by galen hall.
Oh crap....... This is bad .......:o:o:o:o
Managed to stay alive and ended the day with $78,800 up from $26,00 to start the day. So tomorrow i will start with around 65 big blinds which is a decent sized stack.
So, i busted out late on day 3. I was down to 25 big blinds and got pocket 7's. I re-raised 2.5x and got two calls. Last to act was chip leader and i was first to act.
Three of us to the flop JJ6 flop checked around turn is a 4 with no flush possibilities. I shove we are waiting for about 5 mins for the next player to act when the chip leader calls clock and the player we were waiting for says he went all in 5 mins ago. Nobody heard him and and he didn't move a single chiip towards the pot. The chip leader says he has seen the this player play this angle before and instamucks. Player turns over pocket kings and river is a 9.
It was a great learning exprience and after playing with so many strong pro players i feel like i really played very well.
After busting i went for dinner with moose and seekthegrail and we ate in a nice veggitarian restaurant. Maybe they can post a pic or two of our meal.
Really looking forward to playing the fallsview tourny but first i am starting back at the gym to shed a few dozen pounds.

Moose said he will come and rail me....... I need all the coaching i can get.
If i make it past day one i will post up.
Even a fish can get lucky every now and then. Hope this fish can at least make out of day one.
What an amazing fun day.
