1) In player positions 1-3 after opener, fold with xxx or less, and raise with yyy or better.
2) In middle positions, call with…… and so on.
3) In caboose position, call with xxx or better……

I’m going toLVin June and usually play Craps and BJ. I occasionally like to try my hand at poker, but based on results form last try I need some pointers! I could buy a book, but I don’t think I have time to read it before I leave.

Answer 1:

7-stud is a very complex game. Even on the first round of betting, you have to consider the ante structure, the cards showing, and how your opponents play, both on the opening round and later in the hand. If you want a game that can be played mechanically, you’re better off inOmaha.

Answer 2:

Watch the scene in rounder’s where mike tells the professor his strategy… It’s actually pretty decent. Here goes this is all from memory “you want to play premium hands , you only start jacks or better split 9′s or better wired , three high cards to a flush. If it’s good enough to call you got to be in there raising. Tight but aggressive and i do mean aggressive, that’s your style”

Answer 3:

Get a copy of “Caro on Gambling,” and read the chapter “Seven-Card Stud-A Crash Course.”  Play exactly the way the book reads and you will be able to beat the weak low-limit games.

What does everyone think about the following: There would be no blinds in holdem, just an ante? Before each hand, the dealer would roll a ten-sided die to determine the button. Advantages:
-You could get up for a few hands without any problem.
-It would be easier for new players to understand.
-The ante could be increased relative to the bets as the limits rise, keeping the balance between luck and skill.
-Pots with a large number of chips in them look larger than they are, inducing action.

Answer 1:

Although it may sound simpler to beginners, I don’t think this is a good idea in hold’em.  What this would do is have a side effect…forcing you to put money in on hands like 83o and 92o when normally you can avoid them by folding. But wait! Everyone else will be too, right? Well that means that there will be less pre-flop and flop protection, since everyone will already have something at stake, they will flop. It would be like typical low limit no foldem holdem except the pots would be a little bigger from the start. If this is what you’re after then round up some players and give it a try but I think I’m going to stick with folding 72o.

Answer 2:

Nothing wrong with an ante. But the idea of rolling a dice is a bit naff. If you are using an ante you can still have a forward moving button. I have played in holdem games with an ante. This is often the way it is played inLondonandParisin the larger buying games ($800 +) If you are playing holdem with an ante then the ante is dead money. The first player to the left of the button must either open or fold. In general I think an ante game of this nature leads to a more open game. There are also some important changes in hand requirements, i.e. Fold virtually everything in first position, and call most things on the button.

Answer 3:

Sounds good in theory, but in the whole picture, I don’t like it.

1. The die-rolling takes time, albiet just an extra few seconds, but the time adds up rather quickly.  This means fewer hands per hour and thus, a lower hourly gain.

2. Although it sounds very simple to us, the beginner might be confused by the addition of another implement into a card game.

3. The drunks would have to pay much more attention, thus slowing down the game even more when they continually ask what the roll was.

4. This also alters one’s strategy in a game and makes reading players a bit more of a task, since you don’t know who will be UTG and when. You might get a bunch of chances to read one or two players, but then only a few (if any) to read another player. This is a disadvantage to the good player.

The only advantage is being able to get up any time. But then again, that’s why I play stud!

Can someone compare the poker rooms at Bellagio and MB?  I’ve never played at either.  The Bellagio rates poker play, which is hard to find now a days.  What about MB?

Answer 1:

MandalayBayis a very nice looking hotel. Their poker room is o.k. but rake is too high, only spread low limits, and don’t be surprised if there are only two games going when you get there. Bellagio has 1-5 through 300-600(maybe higher), some of the world’s best dealers, many more games, lower rake, and speedy cocktail service. Only complaint at Bellagio is sometimes people working the lists at the front podium need to work on their people skills (especially with
first time tourist). Although not a major problem I’ve seen more than one act of rudeness to
a visitor and that’s too many!

Answer 2:

Only played once at MB.  Nice, large room with very high ceilings and fair air circulation. Low-limit stud game was half middle European tourist buddies out for a good time, which I ad!  Staff was very nice. There’s an elaborate jackpot structure for getting all sorts of hands (I’ve forgotten what kinds), so there’s a drop on top of the rake, but it appears the jackpots make small payouts quite frequently. Didn’t play at Bellagio – we were pretty much ignored by the floor person taking names and could barely get info on game limits and types out of him.

Answer 3:

This is like comparing an orange to an orange tree! Both rooms are nice, generally friendly staff and comfortable arrangements. However, the Bellagio has, at last count (that I know of) 31 tables, while MB has 6 or 8. Bellagio spreads limits from pennies to gold bars, while MB
has typical low-limit touristy stuff (which can be profitable if you like low limit and know what you’re doing). Bellagio has these great high-back chairs, and the classiest waitresses around. They also serve Buckler, the rich man’s version of O’Douls, and for non-drinkers like myself, it’s just one extra touch of class that makes the Bellagio a great place to play. Belliago is sort of a mainstay for many pros who used to call the Mirage, home. You’ll often see Chan, Nguyen and others there on a daily basis.
