    $10 or $25 Table Which is Better?

    I am going to Vegas for a week soon. This question popped in my head and I can’t get this simple question out of my mind. I have played almost always at $5 and $10 tables. When I mean always it’s 99% of the time. I need to know the benefits of going to the $25 table over the $10. EX: Higher probability of experiencing other controlled shooters, better crew, etc.. I know about the NAAR and 401G etc.. and am a graduate of the class. My question is over and above what all the great GTC books say. I am just curious to hear what the long time experienced throwers have to say. In your experience do you prefer a $25 table above all others and why? Thank you! 😀

    They tend to be less crowded so you will get the dice back quicker. But everything else is pretty much the same. The crews are the same as the ones at the other tables. The random rollers are just like they are at other tables. You may not find brand new players there but that does not mean the other players are extremely knowledgeable or courteous. The main advantage is fewer players to deal with. But that makes it worth it if you are going to play at that level anyhow.

    You should not play there if you do not feel comfortable playing at that level. As I said, if you would be playing at a higher level on a lower limit table, you should play at the higher limit table.

    The casino I prefer to play at does not normally have a $25 table. If it did I would play there for the reasons Skinny mentions. One of the other casino’s I like always has a 25 table. When I go there, I look for it. I normally play 15 on the pass line but go up to 30 after a hit. So I just go to 30 from the start. A 25 table works for me. It is definately quicker to get the dice back, most times, at a 25 table.

    First thing to consider is if your bankroll and your head can handle a $25.00 table and play it properly, I mean playing with come bets and taking max odds. Many people will play a $25 dollar table and not be able to handle it (pressure) of the amount the could loose. In this case one would be better off playing a table with lower minimum bets.

    I remember the first time I played a $25.00 table, I told the group I was playing with that I did not have the bankroll to support it and I would not play at it. This group gave me all the reasons Skinny stated and they said I was more than good enough, I just needed confidence. I kept saying I could not afford it, this was early in my dice control career.

    I ended up playing that day at the $25. table because the guy’s I was playing with just wanted me to throw the dice and bet the pass line only with odds. We would split all profits and they would work all the other bets: place, come, buy and 6/8 progression. By the way they also also gave me $1000.00 to play with and I did not have to repay any thing I lost and anything I won would be added to our total winnings and split 4 way’s.

    The bottom line was at the end of the first 3 hours session we split a lot of money, my share was over $2500.

    Here is my point, I did not have to worry about loosing so I played free and easy and if you can’t play that way you should not be playing at a high limit table.

    That is what " THE FAMILY " is working on now, betting when you are the one throwing. Trying to get each of them to know what and how much they want to bet each time they throw. One will practice and the others will practice betting and paying themselves as if they had the dice. I told them what you and all the other instructors/mentors told me Mr. Finesse, you have to concentrate on the dice not your bet. If you are worried about the money you should have stayed home and practiced some more.

    Right Tommy, and if the "family" is playing with a combined bankroll, then the family should be betting differently. What I mean is some should be come bettors and other place bettors. You don’t want to have the everyone placing the 6/8 when it is the same BR
