thanks for the update! i edited the original post in this other thread: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/53/mi... (https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/53/mid-high-stakes-limit/2024-usa-live-lhe-1838769/) which is a newer version of this thread that we're in right now

Casino AZ converted from 20/40 and 40/80 to 30/60 and 60/120 a few months ago. The 20/40 and 40/80 were fairly sporadic and one would start and then another would start and kill the other game, and it was causing a lot of frustration. Going to just 30/60 has allowed the game to go almost daily. A far cry from the days of multiple 20 games, but much better than it has been the last 6 months or so. Not sure if 60 has ever gone (maybe a few times over the last few months) but it is an official game to sign up for on Bravo.

Do they still have a regular mix game?

Yes the 20/40 4 game mix goes daily anywhere from 1-3 games. Higher mixed are sporadic during WSOP

What games are in the mix now? Last I heard the 20/40 was just BigO and Super Stud8, with lots of games in the 40/80 mix.

BigO Super Stud Dramaha Double Board Omaha High

Been looking on the apps. Headed to Vegas next week and I only see a board for 40/80 or higher at Bellagio. Are the bigger limit games dead right now? Or did they move? Thx

They have always only been at Bellagio. ETA: oh you mean there's only an interest list I think, no actual game. I'll let a vegas reg answer definitively, but the last few years I find there are way fewer 20, 40, and 80 games running, and they often break and don't run all night any more.

I usually glance at Bellagio when looking at my local rooms and that is correct. Usually 1 or 2 20 games and 0 or 1 40 games most evenings, and the games are usually broken by midnight. I think I recall one instance in the past year (outside of WSOP) when the game ran overnight. Last year during WSOP there were usually 6+ games between 20, 40 and 80 most evenings (iirc).

does LHE still go at Artichoke Joes?

Last I heard, they had a regular 20/40 game with mandatory straddle. That was from about a year ago though.

It looked like they had one table of 20 going earlier today on PokerAtlas.
