One thing I do want to mention is the part about advertising in magazines, etc... I tried for 4 years to get magazine ads, and was turned down over and over. The owner doesn't believe in print ad, and getting any money from the casino for any kind of advertising is nearly impossible.

Anyways, those that I've been in touch with, I wish you the best.

He's not the manager anymore.

Re: Treasure Island - Vegas

How does this poker room make any money if so many local grinders do this promotion?

Maybe they don't. But the higher jackpot drops helps them either way.

Poker rooms don't care who plays the games, as long as they get played. How grinders make $ is the better Q, but it seems to me they are either slightly improving(if they aren't very good/are nitty) or slightly worsening(good/LAG player) their win rate, with probably not much beyond that.

Re: Treasure Island - Vegas

played in this game for 4 days and it is a reg fest no doubt. when a tourist shows they break very quickly. I do think the game is beatable, but not a typical room with an abundance of tourist/fish playing

Did he indicate that it will *only* continue throughout the rest of the year, or was he saying that it will last at least until the end of the year? Did he specify?

real simple the fish loose there buy in quicker than anywhere I have seen. The regs stay all day and the tourist last aprox 30 minutes. its tough for tourist to get in the game at times as well because no regs leave and they never have enough during the week to start a 2nd table. They wait for a while then sadly leave. It is a bit frustrating they can't get in the game always. Some of the regs are not the greatest, but they are not tourist/fish either.

Re: Treasure Island - Vegas

I was there two different trips during the Series this year, and never saw a second table. If they can't get one going during the Series, there's pretty much no hope.

All of the regs actually suck, but they're still not as bad as fish/tourists. The extra $2 rake every hand doesn't help.

Re: Treasure Island - Vegas

How many NL tables are running during weekends? Staying at the TI next weekend, looking to put in most of my hours there, unless there's a good reason to check out other 1/3 games
