Never played in game with splash pot. Imagine it would lead to people making poor decisions, which is a good thing in my book.

Random seat is better than splash pot, imo.

ok then.. how about $550 for the high hand winner, and $50 for each person at the table at the time the winner is paid?

still $1000

This would work but some adjustment would have to be made for short-handed games (although LOL at any games being short during a promotion like this one).

Sounds fine to me.

You are playing 6 handed and hit a Royal at the beginning of a time period.

Suddenly your game is full for 20 minutes.

Or George has $2 left when you hit your Royal and instead of going home, he ties up his seat for 20 minutes.

If ML is taking requests for promotions (and I'm not sure they are), I'd propose something for the Fri/Sat/Sun players, like maybe a rakeback promotion.

My dream change for MDL would be for them to let you buy in for cap or up to largest stack at the table.

as said before, they don't need promos to get the room to capacity on fri/sat.
I am still shocked they are doing a promo on sun afternoon.

I've seen that before, I asked the floor and they said it was just a mistake; it's a 2/5 table

Heads up for everyone:

Just got home from a long session and got in my truck in the parking garage and it was ransacked. Glove compartment left open, contents thrown on the floor and on my seat, pocket behind passenger seat emptied out, etc. I'm 90% sure that I locked my truck so either it's the 10% or people are going around with slim jims or some other device and opening cars to look for valuables. None of my windows were smashed.

They didn't take any of my loose change or my car charger so I'm guessing they were in and out pretty quickly looking for a huge paper cash score.

Might switch to valet after this incident.

Ugh that is awful I'm so sorry to hear.

Would you mind telling us exactly where in the garage this happened? I usually park on 4 because it gets a lot of traffic and I've never had an issue there.

I think being awarded $500 to a stack makes the person more likely to just cash out and leave happy.

Splash pots Induce gambling and add more money to the game

Lock it, with all windows and sunroofs fully closed.

Don't leave anything visible. (Or the flip side, fill it with as much garbage as possible, I guess.)

Then don't worry about it, because you won't be able to stop a thief determined to get into your vehicle for some reason.
