Tonight I'm accompanying my husband to a local casino where he's going to see a couple of crusty old rock bands. I'm not interested in the bands but told him I'd go with him and check out the poker room. In case anyone may be familiar with it, it's the Snoqualmie Casino just east of Seattle, which opened last year.
It looks like I'll have a choice of three games: 3/6 limit hold 'em, 2/5 no limit hold 'em with a $100-$300 buy-in, or 3/5 no limit hold 'em with a $200-$500 buy-in. I've ruled out the latter because it's above my comfort zone, so am considering the 3/6 limit game and 2/5 no limit game. The 2/5 game is said to play small and lots of folks buy in for $200, which I'm thinking of doing. Yes, yes, I know that having a full buy-in (which in this case is less than what would be considered a full buy-in in most games) is optimal, but the highest I've played live previously is 1/2, and I don't really want to drop $300 on KK vs. AA or a similar scenario.
What would you guys choose? I'm thinking just take it easy and play the limit game, have some fun, get back into the swing of live play before my upcoming Vegas trip -- but I have more experience with no limit.
In any case I don't want to be playing suboptimally because I'm worried about the amount of money I have on the table.
Suggestions?
