Las Vegas Poker Player Vlogs - Page 3142 - Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum - Las Vegas Entertainment and Living Information

I just learned that in protest of losing his beverage comp, Rice is taking a stand against corporate oppression and stopped playing at Caesar's properties.

I find it hard to believe Rice will stop chasing the Bally's Horseshoe promo money, the twice weekly free player appreciation tournaments.
My guess is Rice will play 30 hours a week at 'Bally's' to qualify for the twice weekly freerolls.

I was thinking I hadn't seen any Neeme - WPT stuff, googled it and saw they aren't a thing anymore as of a few weeks ago. Was he let go or wanted out? Not that it really matters, just curious. I assume mutual, he's not the vlogger he used to be, guessing flying around to events isn't high on his priority list.

In other news, I still think Jon Pardy sucks and it's hilarious he's a "poker pro" but having to live with his parents back in Newfoundland. Team ACR, nothing but the top quality players!

[QUOTE=FL Pkrdlr;58571903]Surely there’s language in the fine print saying they reserve the right to modify or cancel promos at any time without notice, blah blah blah.[/QUOTE

It isn't really that fine of print, and it pretty much says exactly that. Also they reserve the right to withdraw any and all comps to any single individual if they wanted.

I'm surprised the greatest student to ever graduate from law school messed this up so badly.

Not sure how big of a demographic "people who hate people that sell candy at flea markets" is, but ok sure. YouTube channels live and die by clickbait titles and he might have finally figured that out. Good for him. Means he might actually be trainable after half a decade of people telling him to do video titles that way.

He's been in Michigan more lately as well, which means there could be some family stuff in play, not that he needs to talk about that. Whatever it is, he's still one of the best people in poker so whatever he decides is best for him and his family is a good call.

Rice is different but I dont think a bad dude.

If Rice takes this to court I think a fair settlement would be for Caesars to give Rice credit for all of the free drinks he missed out on when he was visiting his parents in New York in December and January.

Yup and they don't even have to provide a reason. Casinos can basically do what they like, and you just have to wear it. Anyone who has spent as much time in casinos as Rice should be well aware of that.

Rice dominated academics for 2 decades by meticulously following the rubrics and also grasping obscure baseball reference from college law professors, not by reading fine print.

How different the trajectory of Rice's career would have been if he didn't get screwed by the Professor who ignored the Rubric.
The Supreme Court would not have been out of the question.

Remember the one vlogger from Indiana? He owned an apartment building, and would always talk about his family. Whenever he went to play poker, he would purposely not touch the big Horseshoe in front of the poker room. What ever happened to that guy?

I pretty much always assume that any rewards program can be devalued at any time. Classic example is airlines who do this all the time. They do normally give at least some warning before the changes take effect, but again that's when they are making changes to a published benefit.

They were providing the benefit. I don't think it matters, as a point of law, whether it's published or not. It was also a fairly well known benefit. They could get lots of people to testify to it, including some former, and possibly present employees. The cashiers have to go through a bit of a circus act to ring up free drinks, so they would certainly remember it.

If Diesel needs the nutrition from red Gatorade and Milkshakes so badly, he should either order cups of olives/cherries/cocktail onions or get cups of coffee that are half milk.

You can't get free Fijis in the casino.

Query whether such disclaimers are enforceable under applicable law. Rice has precedent on the issue. If he says it's illegal, no reason to doubt it.

Rice would be the 'Vinny Gambini' (film: 'My Cousin Vinny') of law if he would to take this to Court.

The Orleans runs a good structured $300 tournaments on Sundays ($200 + $100 add on for 25k more taken even from the beginning), so $300 for 50k chips and 30 min blinds and good blind structure.

Sunday May 26th is event #1 of the series which is the same tournament but 60k guarantee that should go way over that as I think they said last week it nearly hit 60k and there will be a ton more people in this one.

It's a good chance to check out our boy Diesel in action.
