Right, you can't force limit players to come to your room. It's just like any other room. You need players - or props - to start games.

That's chicken and egg. Limit players don't often go to Vegas to play because of the lack of games.

Most of the people who play LHE, who are interested in this promo, wouldn't be interested in playing at Bellagio.

Re: Treasure Island - Vegas

There are probably at least a half a dozen places I would play 4/8 at before Bellagio, but I live in Henderson. Keep hope alive, TheVig, I bet they get something going by February.

Re: Treasure Island - Vegas

And what 10/20 player do you think would be interested in playing 60 hours for 599 bucks?

This sounds like an unbelievably awesome promo. I wish some of my local casinos would have something like this!

Me! I play more than 60 hours a month of 10/20 anyway, and would LOVE to get an extra $599 per month. Don't know why anyone wouldn't...

Re: Treasure Island - Vegas

It's 60 hours per week to get $599 (per week). If you played 60 hours in a month, you would probably get about $250 or so (could be more if you stack hours), for the month vs. nearly $2000 if you do 60 hours per week. Depending on how you would do your schedule, you could easily hit $599 per month (the flier is in the thread for the breakdown).

Playing in this promotion could help a 3/6 player build a bankroll to play in 10/20, so I think it's worthy because of that.

Re: Treasure Island - Vegas

Oops, I forgot the promo was per week, not per month. I wouldn't want to play that many hours per week, I play about 30 now. Still would love to have whatever extra I could get though, and I don't understand why you seemed to say most 10/20 players wouldn't love a promo like this.

Re: Treasure Island - Vegas

Because I figured it would lead to a large reduction in hourly rate for most of them (because of it being 3/6), and that it wouldn't be worth it for them. Are you in California or Vegas?
