I went back to Mirage to get in a 1-2 live game one night and got wait listed. I like cash games because I can pick my spots. I can wait all night for a good hand, in good position, against the right player. A lot of times I can even see a flop in my big blind.
Killing time in a poker room is not too hard. With games on ten different TVs and poker magazines killing 30 minutes is easy. But this time I decided to be a rail bird. I wanted to watch one of the higher stakes game to see how much different the play from the 1-2 game. The Mirage doesn't run a wide variety of games. I made the mistake of thinking the 3-6 game was no limit when in fact it is a limit game with 1-3 blinds. Betting levels are $3 preflop and on the flop and $6 for the turn and river. I decided to give it a try.
I lost my shirt. Its a chaser's game and come show down the winning hads are much stronger than in NLHE. I played too many hands and wound up second best most of the time.
