    Headed to Vegas This Weekend

    Headed to Vegas this weekend with a $3,000 trip bankroll. Any recommended casinos? I'm thinking I should probably stick to $5 and $10 minimums and do either a 1-6 or 1-12 spread (I use hi-low, ill 18 and fab 4), but I'm having a hard time finding info on casinos with good penetration (I'm worried the dealer will drop then pen rate if/when they see I'm counting if pen is set by dealer). Should I go to a $25 min table with better rules and pen set by notch? CVCX shows my Risk of Ruin is really high at a $25 min table with that low of a bankroll. :-/ I'm also considering counting off to the side and doing a few higher bets at some of the higher limit tables that allow mid game entry. Thoughts?

    Usually they don’t care about $5 or $10 min unless they are sweat factory, but you’ll be making minimum wage basically. If you do $25 min, determine what’s the lowest risk you’d tolerate. Optimize your play with spread and wonging points with cvcx based on the risk you are willing to take.

    The thin thin line that most of us walk.

    Risk versus Reward. Partially Subjective.
    What is YOUR time / effort worth given
    that you MUST adjust for the risk ?

    You will find mostly 6:5 games on the strip.Not many low limit games of value on strip.

    Old Vegas may offer some better choices.

    Local casinos are best choice but car and some travel are invloved.
    Luck is nothing more than probability taken personally!
