I do not like face up on top of the stub. Dealers should display the cards to both ends of the table, announcing "deuce of clubs is an exposed burn card" at each end of the table. This card would likely be exposed for 2-4 seconds, and annouced. I want minimal disruption...

I agree with this. It is part of the players responsibility to be paying attention to the game. Showing the cards to both end and announcing it twice is adequate. That being said, I don't think it's a huge disruption to leave it face up on the stub and wouldn't have an issue if that were the policy.

It happens exactly as this guy says, i dont even know that it take sthe "2-4 seconds" probably more like 1-2, but I like it that way. I have occassionally missed the card, just ask dealer and either he tells me or someone else at the table, so its no big deal if you miss it, and as johnny says, its minimal disruptiom.

Anyone know how accurate the Bravo Live app is with respect to waiting lists for this venue?

These drawing announcements have got to stop

Meh. If they're gonna keep giving me a shot at $500 bucks every hour, they can announce it as much as they want.

We are working on a fix for it.... Casino floor system is integrated with our stuff, so its a technical issue. If we lower volume too low, you cant hear the supervisor call names from the list...

The 777 announcements that occur ever 10 minutes are loud as ****. The inside-the-room announcements are louder than ****.

Hi Johnny,

It's hard to hear or understand the dealers. It's not a matter of paying attention.

How does showing the exposed cards disrupt the game? Is it contrary to the training method/system?

Ironically when a card was exposed during yesterday's Sunday tournament, the dealer showed the card face up. That was helpful.

Visual clues are part of poker, I hope you can reconsider this.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure he said the cards are supposed to be shown in fact its right in the quote you attached to your post.

I'm with him on that the card should not be kept face up after being shown. there is no reason for it.

There is one reason for it. During the deal and PF action, people may be looking at their cards (or possibly their opponents) and making a gameplan for their hands, and have a legitimate reason for being distracted and/or possibly missing the exposed card and announcement. Displaying the card on top of the stub gives everyone a chance to see what the card was at their convenience until the PF round is over.

There is less going on during later streets, so less reason to need to show exposed cards for a long time at that time.

2-4 seconds is a long time. I doubt this is what he is complaining about. Many dealers will have a tendency to flash very quickly when it is their mistake that caused the exposure.

I moved discussion re first to act versus last aggressor here:

Please keep the tourney on Sundays. For rec players who work M - F office jobs this is the only option to play a tournament that does not impact work schedule as the nightly tourneys run late.

Absolutely keep the 50k on Sundays

Third this.

I have a few coworkers who play in this tourney occasionally. They aren't poker crazy like me, so don't play that much or want to risk too much. The decent structure & ability to play for a long time with risk capped at $360 is attractive.

I have only played this tourney once and i would rather play cash. It definitely brings in more rec players to the room.

Agreed - the 50k is great for the room, please keep it on Sundays

I hate to say it because as a cash player it works against my self interest but I think the adjustment if any is needed would be to stop the cash game promo on Sunday morning. I think it's the combined draw of the tournament and the promo that fills the room so early.

I love the hot table/seat promo and have actually won it twice but I'd rather be able to get a seat quickly at 11am with no promo running than to wait for an hour for a seat with a promo running. Realistically though this is about the only time when I go to MDL instead of MGM.

Another alternative would be to increase the buyin for the Sunday tournament to drive down the number of players (and hence tables needed) but I think the buyin as is hits a pretty sweet spot.

I don't think Johnny sees this as a problem.

Agreed

Keep it at $350

Yes and no. If the room is full it's really no big deal if a couple players go to MDL instead. However using promo money to draw players when the room is already full means you can't use it to draw players when the room isn't full.

I think 50K Sunday is a hit and the inceasing number of people every week is a good indication. I wouldn't recommend tweaking it either.

As the other business does it, they don't run the promos on the days when a big series is going on, instead of taking it out toally I would suggest changing the time of the promo to a suitable time. The cash promos can start at 3/4PM when the amount of tournament tables keep going down rapidly.

If in fact we are going to see a bigger room (in the near future) this might be a moot point.

Also, just wanted to mention about an incident and a quick action by the floor staff.

Heard through a friend, so, bear with me on the exactness of the details.

In a newly started 2/5 game after one or two rounds, a $1000 chip magically appeared in someones stack in an all in situation. The amount was paid off to the individual including the $1000 chip. The player went back to the floor and expressed his concern (as it is a fairly new game).

It was determined that the 1000 chip was there before the start of the hand, but, it was added to the stack in between the hands (which is against the rules as it exceeds the max limit). The floor was swift in reviewing the tapes and compensated the losing player the difference. As I heard this from a friend the details may not be as exact as it happened.

The point I am trying to make is that these things are happening in the room, it is better to be aware of the stack sizes (as a ball park) and bring these things to the floor's attention if anyone is not comfortable with a situation.

Yes, but your premise was

Anybody have ideas as to how the field size of the Sunday tournament will be affected once NFL begins?
