Before i got into AP VP I moved to vegas to play poker for a living. I only had experience in spread limit holdem as far as live play went, with a lot of NLHE experience online. It took about 6 months to adjust and it was somewhat costly, not in the sense that I lost, but I just didnt deviate that far from break even, which doesnt pay the bills. I realized that reading books and trying to find a style based on authors suggestions just wont work, you need to find your own based on your experiences, not others. I quickly learned to go from super tight AA-JJ type starting hands to hyper aggressive when the situation dictated it.
For the most part though live poker in vegas is easy if you can learn to avoid the other good players, just flop sets, play straight and flush draws (to the nuts), and avoid getting your stack in with 1 pair until you are very experiences, and you should do fine.
