I'd be happier if results included all players that cashed, or at least how many cashed.

So I played the $550 tournament on Saturday/Sunday have a few observations

1)Like the place overall - the floor people all do a great job and are always making sure the tournaments run smoothly

2)However, some of the dealers are extremely unprofessional and it definitely needs to be addressed - Here's an example, the first hand of the tournament a guy loses a pretty big pot. We started with 30,000 in chips with 25-50 to start. Anyways, this dealer starts commenting after the hand. He says "Wow, that was a pretty big pot - jeez, for the first hand - hey nice hand buddy". The guy that lost looks up incredulously and just shakes his head at the dealer in disgust that he's commenting on the pot size and congratulating the winning player. Another player tells him not to do that and he says "whatever". Totally unprofessional.

The thing is, throughout the days the dealer pool was really hit or miss. For the most part they all could shuffle and deal but it was just their professionalism that really needed adjusting. A lot of players are locals and the dealers know them so some start having personal conversations about issues not appropriate at the table(Drugs, beating players up outside because as 1 dealer put it -"they're douchebags and deserve it because they can't touch them in the casino"). Everyone at the table was in disbelief. A lady told him that was inappropriate and he ignores her.

I hope the management at this place address these issues - maybe have a "dealers only" meeting and explain how to act professional because what I saw this weekend dampens an otherwise great tournament series.

Does anyone know what time the main tournament on Saturday ended last year? Do we anticipate it being finished by Monday morning?

Ive only played at DP once. It was a 200 person mtt and possibly the best run ive ever played, all staff top notch.

That said, PSU's experiences are entirely ****ing ridiculous and staff who behaves/talks that way should be dealt w appropriately.

I will say that I enjoy coming to Del Park for MTTs. I was going to write a bunch, but I'll keep this short. Yeah, most of the dealers are great. Some need to understand TOURNAMENT Poker rules and etiqutte. Some were great. As a MTT reg, you want the dealers to control things but not really be seen or involved. LIKE a baseball umpire.

PSU Mike is right, that dealer later came to my tbl where Mike now was with me (TBL 3)and had another issue. It didn't need to happen, shame on the dealer. And I say that knowing Mike can push buttons, but I didn't think he did. And you are a good player.

With that said, the staff is good and I enjoy the MTTs, I'll be back, BUT PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, change that bubble BS round for round stuff. I and a few Tourney regs made event 3 final 19 and had to deal with a round for round instead of hand for hand. I hate the bubble, but I don't think I enjoyed the round for round thing. If it works out, OK. Just my opinion. If others like it, I'll except it.

round for round is beyond stupid..just makes people stall more. please change that before the main.

think i concur with Daniel here. H4h is long enough as is.

Thank you P-aire for the compliment - you are also a very good player and had I not hit my 3rd 7 on you on Saturday, you definitely would have made it to day 2, not me.

Hope to see you at the main and hope Kevin can hopefully address a few of the issues mentioned.

is the main going to start 25/50 with 40k starting? How long is latereg and how long would it take to get a players card (assuming you need one to play)?

Hey p- aire and mike. Enjoyed playing with both of you. I was the young guy in the 9 seat. Was kinda disappointed in myself for imploding during lvl 13. I blame the lack of sleep. Always next time I suppose .

Nice playing with you as well - and I wouldn't call it imploding. You played solid but you had some bad luck late which definitely contributed in level 13

All in all we had a nice table and I had a good time. Hopefully the main event will be profitable for all of us. Good Luck!!!

I think the main starts at 50-100 but I am not sure(hope it does start at 25-50)

This structure for the main is amazing!!!! I truly believe that for an $1090 tournament you will NEVER see a better value for the skilled player - that's why I am playing it, 60 min levels, 40k chips and a slow structure - cannot beat it!!!

It takes less than a minute to get a players card, very simple and iirc late registration is available for the first 3 levels but I could be off on that.

On a completely different point, I often wonder why places that do not get much publicity like Delaware Park can have such a great structure/starting stack etc.. for a $1100 tournament but a WSOP circuit main event offers so much less. Take any WSOP circuit main event this year - $1675 buy-in, 20000 chips, 40 min levels for the first 14 levels or so and then it goes to 60 min. To some that might be okay but when we are playing for a $160,000-$200,000 or more first place - the circuit main event should be offering something similar to Delaware Park. Just my opinion fwiw.

I also had the same experience with a dealer ( not sure of his name), after telling the players at our table he wasn't going to answer all these stupid questions about the folds rules, he proceeded to say that he wished there was a boxing ring outside so he could fight all the stupid players.

I concur - overall good experience. There is a dealer who was miserable. In one particular hand in a sattelite to the weekend 550 on Friday night a player pushed all in. After a couple folds players asked the allin player if he had even looked at his cards...the dealer believed this was a good time to say, "I saw him, and he only looked at one." I told him that he should not say stuff like that, and he just stared at me for a second and said "Come on kid, what does it matter." Just unprofessional and could have impact on game IMO.

So dealer dominated me.

Ace it was nice playing with you. THought you played really well. Mike, it was nice playing with you. Good tbl except for that older Euro guy who was trying to PUNT his stack cause he couldn't come back for day 2. He had me on tilt.

Wildman & Joe, when we got close to the money in event 3 and they started this round 4 round BS, I asked if they were doing this in every event including the main and MURPH said that's the plan. The bubble sucks regards less. But hand 4 hand is much better in my opinion. What till you see it. It was bad I thought. My only bad thing to say about this series. GLGL everyone the rest of the way.

I wasn't there, and don't know how they used the round-for-round concept, but how would it cause people to stall more? The few times I've seen r-f-r it was much better than hand-for-hand.

The way I've seen r-f-r used was they played a specific number of hands, and everybody who busted during that entire round at any table was considered to be tied with everybody else who busted during that round. If this was the way DP did it, then why would anybody want to stall? You're going to play "x" number of hands at your table, so who cares how fast or slow they play out? The only thing I can imagine is if somebody wants to fake-tank the first hand at their table, let every other table play all of their hands, and then see how many have busted out. Is something like that what happened?

Personally, I much prefer r-f-r based on the few times I've done it, and I've often encouraged TDs to add it to their events. It was always faster than h-f-h likely would've been.

they ran round for round last night in the O8 tourney. There was 14 left, paying 13. So each table played 7 hands. We got into the money during the round, and I thought it went very smoothly. As stated above, knowing a set number of hands made everyone just play at normal pace.

Also, I just wanted to agree with most and say that the staff/floor are doing a great job. They helped facililate a deal at the final table effeciently appealing to everyone at such a late hour. Also, in the tourney I thought the dealers did a fantastic job with chop pots/side pots. Very good overall experience
