Re: Wouldn't it be nice if Casinos _____________

Wouldn't it be nice if Casinos.... went to time in the mid to small stakes and/or raked at a much slower rate so the fish could break even more often and the winners win more.

Nice If...

There was a computer stat of the table with the most active fills (and in this vein why not a vpip/pfa chart)

Automatic non alc machines with water bottles (comped of course)

A light with a sound that specifically tells when the action is on you (no more slow/clueless players always asking the dealer "is it on me")

Have a vote that the nittiest player was auto ejected off a table, and then you get to choose from other tables have to come to yours (player dependant must move tables)

Most of these are pretty terrible ideas. Computer stats intimidate the fish and would be counter productive as everyone tries to switch to the loosest table and that that becomes the tightest table.

The light and noise would drive everyone mad pretty fast and forcing the fish to move would make them uncomfortable as it is kind of humiliating (people can be bad at poker but not stupid), whilst the best players would never be able to get into the best games as no one would pick them.

Do you even play live??? These are terribad ideas.

#1). With 30 hands/hr dealt a stats log would be meaningless and Chase off the fish.
#2) A light and sound buzzer telling you its your action would be impossible to accurately build given the million and one different ways players hold their cards, check, and bet and it would scare off the fish
#3) Auto ejecting nits is a horrible idea. You WANT.a few nitty players in the game because they are non-factors and easy to manipulate. They also enable you to better control the table becuase there are less variables to keep track off. Ideally you want two nits to your immediate left which is like having two extra button positions.

50 or a 100 yards is not exactly close when your an old man.
From what I remember the Mirage bathroom was the best. It was right outside the poker room and shaped like an L with an almost hidden long row of stalls away from the urinals, great for dropping a deuce mid session.

I agree that the Venetian bathroom is a little further than ideal.

Bellagio has two bathrooms to choose from. The "O" bathroom is good for dumping it out as long as you aren't close to the beginning or end of a show. After it is freshly cleaned around midnight is ideal. Still can't fathom why people pinch a loaf in the sportsbook bathroom. Its so small and busy.

If Casinos (Poker rooms) actully existed in Kentucky so I would not have 95-100 mile drives to Indiana, West Va, and soon Ohio. Damn all corrupt Ky politicians up to the 7th Generation.

Rakeback would be the F-ing nuts!!!!

I guess you could "sorta" say that is what comps are...a form of rakeback...

I dealt to a guy one night who bragged about how well his illegal cell phone jammer worked at keeping the line moving at the sandwich shop he owned.

OWNER: Next! What'll you have?

CUSTOMER: (phone on ear, holding up the "one second" sign to the sandwich guy)

OWNER: No problem. (reaches under counter, pushes button)

CUSTOMER: Hello? Hello? (puts phone away, orders sandwich)

I don't know where you were playing, but a simple private word to the floor man should have been sufficient. If it would not, play somewhere else.
