| Casino Poker Compared to Online Poker I asked this in another thread, but I'd like to ask here, how difficult in comparison to online poker is casino poker? Do you get more tourists looking to just have a good time, or do you get more of the type that plays regularly and is a very solid player? Another question: What is the age limit for casinos? I always thought it was 18 (turned 18 in the summer) but heard it was 21 recently, wasn't sure. Finally, $1/$2 is the lowest limit usually found in casinos, correct? Or can you find a good $0.25/$0.50 game? Thanks. |

| In my experience you get just as many donks at a casino as online. I find it easier to play at a casino, because I can pick up on tells that other players may be giving off. I think it's slightly harder to be patient at a casino though. Having to sit through an hour of crap cards can be frustrating, so you really need to be disciplined. As for limits, I've never seen lower than $1/2 in a B&M game. Maybe a place or two out in vegas has .25/.50, but around me it's 1/2 at the lowest. |

For instance, at one SNG I played at the Wild Wild West, a guy sat down, called off all his chips on the river with pair of 2s, queen kicker and lost to 2 pair that the guy had flopped. This was a $65 SNG. If you play a $65 SNG online, you will usually not see that kind of play on the first hand. You might have two people get it all in on big cards or a coin flip, but usually not calling off with bottom pair. Quote:

| re: Casino Poker Compared to Online Poker At some Indian Casinos (like Seneca Niagara in NY), the age is 21 (they serve free alcohol). I would say the donk level is much higher live than online. Live players at 1/2NL are terrible, and wouldn't be able to make money in the 0.01/0.02 game online for the most part. Stratosphere in Vegas has a "low limit no limit" game with blinds of 1/1, buy yeah, usually 1/2 is the lowest NL game you can find. |
