Caesars Palace Player Room Review

Fast, loose and aggressive
02/28/06, Player: timpramas

Total Rating: 4.30

Room Quality Rating: 5
Room Quality Description: The condition of the room is outstanding. Lots of big screen TVs if you want to watch sports while you play. Comfortable chairs, and the tables are in great condition. The poker room is down a short hallway from the rest of the casino, so it is quiet.

Competition Rating: 3
Competition Description: I played at a $6/$12 limit table from midnight to 4 a.m. on a Thursday morning. There was some turnover at the table during that time. On average, there were 2-3 solid players, the rest seemed to have some experience but were loose and aggressive. Most pots got raised and reraised before the flop, yet there were still on average three to four players seeing the flop. Players who raised or reraised, except for the solid players, did not always hold hands worth raising or calling raises. Paying attention to what cards players were showing down at the ends of hands was crucial to be able to differentiate the respect you should give to certain player's raises. All the players seemed to have big bankrolls, so it looked like they had no concern for losing money. Because the pots were so big before the flop, bluffing was impossible because you would get check called all the way through the river even if a player thought the community cards were less than ideal for his/her hand. Play often got more passive after the flop compared to before the flop. Because so many players stayed in to see the flop, I had bad luck with my high pocket pairs getting cracked often no matter how aggressively I tried to bet them. But, with better luck I would have done well. I played at the table with my brother, who played tight as well, and he won a nice sum waiting for good hands to aggressively bet. The pots I did win I won while playing from late position, so given all the action before the flop, having good posiiton was especially important. Given the time of night we played, the alcohol many of the players were quickly consuming probably contributed to the loose aggressive nature of the table. A couple of girlfriends sat behind the players during the games, and maybe that caused some macho aggressive betting as well. In Las Vegas, aren't there better ways to spend vacation time than sort of watching a significant other play limit poker?

Dealer Rating: 5
Dealer Description: The dealers were fast, and did not make mistakes. It was a social table, and the dealers adapted and participated in conversations and told jokes when appropriate.

Cocktail Rating: 5
Cocktail Description: I was the only one at the table not drinking. The other players drank a lot and all the players tipped the servers every time. As are result, the servers were at our table every few minutes. The night was slightly unprofitbale for me, so maybe playing sober is overrated.

Management Rating: 4
Management Description: One player needed toleave the table to get more money from an ATM. The manager told him they would hold his seat fro him. Another manager seated a different person in the seat who posted under the gun (he should have waited one more hand, but that's his choice). When the other player returned, there was a mini-scene. Management handled it as well as it could be handled by that point and was apologetic to the new player who needed to give up the seat to the returning player. Other than that one mistake, the management was good, friendly and made us feel welcome.

Comps Rating: 3
Comps Description: No high hand jackpots but a manager did take my player card to get my name to note my playing time.
