Looks like a 1/3nl went all night, its still going now. So they do stay open as long as there is a game.

I’d prefer if they did $1/$2 instead of $1/$3, oh well.

They added 1/2nl to the board and atlas early for a few hours and had a short list with no game and for some reason they deleted it off Atlas and the board in the room but left the 2/3nl option on both. lol

They are dead set against 1/2nl, just not sure why they even mentioned it in offered games on atlas.

There are enough 1-2 games in town. Happy to see the 1-3.

Wtf is 1/2 in 2020? That micro **** needs to go extinct. 1/3 seemed the standard, with2/3 looking like it would be the next standard, then Vegas poker started backtracking its way to poker games where people sit down with less money than what they might pay for dinner? Gtfo 1/2 go extinct.

So far, out of 6 possible tournaments, only 2 have run, and both of those are because Joey showed and and got it going with only around 12 players each time.

If they want to replicate the $65 sandwich fame, they need to go to 15k chips with the add on and 20 min. blinds and bring out some type of food on the 1st break.

Do that for 1 tournament a day, the 9pm and watch the word spread. You have to offer value and do it better than everyone else.

THANK YOU! This talk about "deep" .5/1 earlier ITT was cringe. Let's lower the stakes even more and invite some wannabe try-hard "pros" who think they can outplay everyone deep. Wow.

And I really don't care if those people play poker or not cause they would be like the people who min buy and nurse their short stack for hours while getting free drinks. In fact, they can stick to slots.

I only played TI a couple times, I don't know about the coffee glass you mean. Flamingo used to serve coffee in a glass tho, and probably still does. It has a wrap around it so you don't burn your hand.

Oddly enough, I am drinking coffee out of a glass mug right now. lol

I am guessing not because the website shows an example of them sending you a text saying your seat is available and you have 5 minutes, each room could probably change that to whatever they want.

My question is if you get the text and it says 5 minutes, then if you show up minutes after that then you are completely off the list now, or you are still treated as call in?

If you're a hotel guest you'll have preference, the app will automatically check you in when you arrive and near the poker room if you have placed yourself on the list, and page you when your seat is available, hotel guests will have a longer opportunity to take their seats. I believe 15 minutes.

Yea, I used atlas for getting on the list when I went. I didn't know about the hotel guests.

Meanwhile once you get on list from atlas, the app won't let you check out the other games and see who is on the list, etc. You are locked in to only see the countdown or update your list.

Do you deal there?
