"strong play/10, would limp again"

QUESTION for the general PokerStrategy public;

I may or may not be about to head over to the states for ~2 weeks, which includes a few nights in Vegas. If there are some smaller buy-in tables (like, under $200 usd) that look soft enough i might play a bit for a laugh.

So yeah, on a scale of 1-10 how soft are the tables there? Are there particular casinos that have more terrible players than others?

Nice Blog :f_frown:

I'm back from my holiday and running better than ever!! lol jks, look at this hand. QQ cracked by 36s. I love NL2.
