This is the first part of a series where I hope to give you all some pointers about going to Las Vegas to play live poker. Whether it's the first time you've been to Vegas or the first time you go to take your poker a little more seriously hopefully I'll have some good advice for you.
The first thing I'm going to say is Las Vegas Live Poker is absolutely fantastic. It's the most fun you'll have playing poker because it's wild, loose, fun and the drinks are free.
Unless you plan to stay in the gaming capital of the world for a long time and become a live poker pro I'd say the most important thing to do while your there is have a great time.
ABC poker is all you need - the fish will pay you off (heck they are so drunk they won't even fold second pair to an all-in bet sometimes!). You will run into some grumpy 'older gentlemen' who won't start games shorthanded and will barely play a hand - you know what to do when they raise your bet ;). Also you will run into some goodish regulars at the $1/2 games who make some ok money there but they won't mess with you and you won't mess with them too much - there's just too much juicy free cash at those tables still.
So have fun, check out Poker Travel World for advice on where to play and stay and have a great time.
Article 2 will cover off some table selection and game selection issues for those of you who have some early success and are going back for more!
