bit of live poker.

This is in $MXN, 1USD = 13MXN so it's around 6k usd which for 5 months of playing is almost 3x the std salary where I live for a 180hours/month job.

Gotta say the obvious, live is much easier than online as I can recall, I play much less hours and make more profit, games are pretty easy there, mostly play vs 50+ old pals which has no clue what they're doing, I just play ABC, value all my hands, make discipline folds and I never get out of line, I barely bluff, I've gained a lot of discipline which I lacked of in my online years.

I know nothing about live bankroll management but I have 5.2k in my bankroll and I just got a couple of nights very cheap @Vegas (22usd @hooters) next week, so instead of staying in Tucson I decided to give NL500 a shot, since there's only NL200 in Tucson, any recommendation would be great of where to play in Vegas.
I've been there 2 times and mostly played NL200@MGM in which I think games were pretty soft, but have 0 experience @NL500.

Anyway that's it so far, I will keep blogging to keep track of my thoughts/results about poker and hopefully I'll write more about my life since I think it's a good excercise, not for you but for me

A couple Vegas casinos have 1/3nl instead of 1/2 so it might be good to try that before hopping into 2/5. I would try the Wynn. Their poker room is nice and more importantly their rake structure is lower than other casinos. They take 5% up to $4 instead of 10% up to $4 like other places. Not a huge diff since the cap is reached quickly but at 1/3 I think it makes a difference. Also you can buy in for more at the Wynn (500 now I believe for 1/3 1500 for 2/5.) So the 1/3 will play bigger than other casinos with the same stakes. It's a bit of a walk from hooters though. GL hope you have a good trip!

You should play where you feel comfortable, you should try some casinos and analize all the fields then you can make a better decision where to gamble, personaly I would choose MGM, you know the field, is near to your hotel, a lot of fishes and tourists.

10-15 bi would be perfect, you are in 5.2k so you can perfectly play at these games (500NL), and stoploss of 4 bi to give a first shot is more than enough.

ty wh00sel, I'll keep that in mind. I guess I'll play there first and if I do well I'll take the shot
