New development at the Flamingo: Up until recently, if you were clocked in at a cash table with your Caesar's card and you got up for a break, you would stay on the clock until you missed your blind, at which point you would be clocked out until you returned and paid your blinds.
Now, you're clocked out if you miss a single hand.
According to the floor, some of the promo nits were gaming the system by jumping off the table and staying off for every part of the orbit except for the blinds, at which point they would jump in and play, thus avoiding getting clocked out, only to jump back off again for the button through UTG part of their orbit.
First of all, I've never noticed anything like that. I've seen plenty of regs taking long breaks, but they've missed their blinds every time and were clocked out. Did anyone else notice anything like the above?
Second of all, only playing your blinds is a
terrible strategy--even the best players would have their EV eaten away to the point where the freeroll would barely make up for it.
It's true that you get a fair number of 0EV chops in the blinds at $1/$2, but at some of the more loose passive tables, you can go an entire session without a blinds chop, so you can't rely on always chopping by any stretch.
According to the floor, Flamingo is the only Caesar's property so far with the single hand clock-out policy, but I could see a policy like this spreading to the other properties, as it's good for maximizing shareholder value
