Hah, if you want to change your luck, come play against me. I am down like 1000 BB in the past 9 months, it is pretty exciting. Either way, beer!

Yes, exactly. A good poker rate that you can't count on and can't book in advance is worthless. Well, to me anyway, given that I am usually there in April.

I haven't seen anything to this effect posted in the CAZ thread, but if true, it's a major improvement. I will ask when I'm there and see what they say.

The poker rate was $129 the last time I was there. No idea if it's still the same.
FYI, I'm paying $95 at a nearby place, but it's a 3.8/5 rating hotel, surely crappier in all ways. And I just noticed that it's $62/night if I had booked now. Should have checked yesterday when I could still cancel and rebook.
