lol.


But seriously man, you sound like a complete douchebag. $500/hand is very high but it's not a whale, but moreover just ask your host to wave the resort fees. If not, head to the Bellagio, they'll definitely do that.

Money talks in this town, and if you're not happy take your business somewhere else that will appreciate it, but I don't understand why you're so angry.


Also, back to your triple-barrel bluff that got called.

lol.

If you are as baller as you think you are I'm suremyour host will waive the resort fee. Of course they suck but that's the way it is.

I had free wi fi at the Rio in the WSOP areas, all you have to do is ask for the password...

In fact it is on here in at least two threads...

Sorry mango but $500 a hand bj is exactly the type of customer casinos are looking for. Sure, there are people out there that play higher, but $500 a hand bj is still big ass action for the casino. Comping a room but not the resort fee seems pretty half assed. OP - you aren't the only one who hates resort fees but like everyone else says, what can you really do?

There's a lot of EV itt.


OP, I'm considering staking you, now that its clear you're a whale. It needs to be between $4K and $5K though. Let me know what my EV will be on my investment and we can meet at the rio this afternoon.

They definitely attempt to conceal them. How many people traveling to Vegas for the first time know MGM has fees but CET doesn't?

I'm sorry it's too late for this afternoon. I made other plans. If you are really serious we could go something around 50-50 for the Main Event. Basically it will be like we're each playing a $5000 tourney but on the same pony (moi).

I will only know by Monday if I can still go to Vegas. All depends on work and stuff.

Why don't you PM me your phone number?

No, it'd be like him taking $5k and lighting it on fire by buying half of a complete moron in the deepest field in live poker.

Stick to blackjack and your terrible levels.

Meh, he lost 6k at $500/ hand? That's like 4 minutes of play(average bet is only a part of the comp equation). Still surprised OP couldn't get the resort fee waived though.

Isn't most of the equation expected loss? Hence average bet is almost entirely the equation?

It's part of it, but if you only play 10 hands at $500/hand, your expected loss is about $100(based on house edge of 2%).

You can play 200 hands at $25/hand and have the same expected loss.

I would argue that time length of play is much more important to the casino(since you always lose in the long run, yadda yadda).

He didn't get it waived because he didn't try, and I doubt he even spoke to a host. He likely used the same offer I have a stack of for three free nights, and I never play higher than $25-50 a hand at BJ and Pai Gow. He is not as important to them as he thinks he should be, otherwise he would have a host tapping him on the shoulder shortly after he sits down.
