I recommend that a beginner wanting to play poker in Las Vegas for the first time start out in a low-limit game, such as $3/$6. So what low stakes poker game are we talking about? $3/$6 Limit Hold’em, or sometimes just called “3/6 limit.” And those times that it’s not? Well, as long as you don’t get drunk and play really loose, your money is likely to last a lot longer than if you were seated in front of a slot machine, or a blackjack table. And it’s the only game in the entire casino where you’re not playing against the house – just other players. It’s almost always laid-back, breezy, and full of fun-loving tourists exactly like you, just looking to play some Texas Hold’em. Low stakes poker in Las Vegas is an absolute blast.
