Looks like they listened to you (or someone). The 4 tables of 10/10 tonight were 2 main games, and 2 chained must moves (and later just one) feeding them both.

The 10/10 situation would need to be changed if they continued to get 4+ tables going. But I guess for one week it's not the end of the world. The other night I got stuck at a not so great must move with no chance at making a main game because of the way it was set up, meanwhile players who got seated at the other must an hour or so after were making it to the main games first one after another. It was just a frustrating situation, really bad system with more then three games.

what are my bus options from new york city to parx? what is the cheapest?

So after about 10 visits to Parx, most in the last week, here are my thoughts. I know I'm late to the game, stopped playing after black friday and just now starting to play poker again consistently.

Pros:
-Poker room is run really well, dealers are top-notch and super friendly
-Waits aren't too bad, considering I was there during WPT and lists were 30+ the longest wait was probably 20 minutes, often times 10 minutes or less
-The games are weak-passive which is good if you're not afraid to get aggressive
-Drink service is top-notch
-Casino is situated in a good area with lots of options for food/drink on the way in as well as banks/atms close by for most major banks

Cons:
-Poker room is not situated in main casino
-Food at Parx East is mediocre to atrocious, noodle bar is bland but manageable... food in the poker room is terrible
-No incentive to grind there, earning $1/hr to spend at a place I only go for poker is okay I guess but the only place I could think to spend it is Chickie's. Not to mention the way you have to activate/lose points is just embarrassing that they would run the operation that way
-rake up to $5 just seems high

I'll keep thinking, I feel like I had a bigger list of cons but am drawing a blank. To me it seems like none of this will change because they know they have enough regs in proximity to their location to run the games this way.

Mike Sexton was on the Preston & Steve morning show (93.3FM) this morning promoting the WPT final table on Wednesday. He had nice things to say about Parx, especially how big the room is and how there are more active tables going on here than any room in Vegas at any given time.

I think you can catch a rebroadcast of the show via the Preston & Steve podcast if you're interested.

Currently at table 19, young guy with a backwards red sox cap on feel free to say hi

I noticed that on Bravo - how are they getting this amount of high limit action? I defi itely have to hand it to them, pretty impressive.

3 10/10's and a 10/25 is pretty impressive too.

None

They have all been cancelled / discontinued due to safety.

Going down to be at Parx today, curious if there is any way to get tix for the final table taping, wouldn't mind stopping in just to check it out?

to whoever posted about the good drink service on the previous page, i've found it to be horrible.

i rarely get anything to drink. last wednesday night i got there around 1 a.m. i sat down with a headache and immediately asked for the waitress button to be activated. it was. she got there 15 minutes later. i asked for a water. she was out, said she would bring it back. at 2 a.m., i got up, walked over the bar, asked the same waitress for a water and got it. she didn't even remember me asking her for one.

i don't blame her. the room was modestly busy and i think there were only two waitresses working.

thursday night, same thing happened to another player.

they weren't prepared for the cash game action the tournament brought.

Methinks the positive comments about service had to do with eye nourishment, not quenching thirst or hunger.....

yes, PARX has some pretty waitresses

as to their abilty to timely serve drinks, i would take some older chicks with some work ethic anytime

I bring my own drinks precisely because I hate tipping them for their awful service. If I want to get a beer I just go to the bar myself on the way back from the restroom.
