PokerAtlas is far superior to Bravo. It's actually insane it took so long for this type of software to start pervading into the game. Wynn, Venetian, Thunder Valley, Texas rooms, Playground are all on it. Hopefully WSOP follows suit.

Agreed. I’m hoping that Aria and Bellagio will switch over to Poker Atlas too.

Poker Atlas is the official poker room management software of Trooper Thursday.

They transfer you in the system, you get a little printout with your new table information.

Another thing about Bravo I don’t like is it will often show zero players on the waiting lists. You call in, thinking you might be first on the list, walk in half an hour later and find that a few call-ins are ahead of you.

Rooms used to not do this. But now when you check Bravo in Vegas, some of the rooms won’t list the call-ins.

It’s a little annoying, and another reason I prefer Poker Atlas.

And good thinking. While I do that I’ll ask the rooms to lower the rake and increase the comps too.

Have them bring back the fishy players from 2005 too.

It is not a Bravo issue in LV. It simply is not a Bravo issue. Just because the rooms have chosen to implement that way does not make it a Bravo issue. Heck, maybe you identified why they won’t switch to PA. Until PA gives them this option they will refuse to switch.

perhaps rooms are getting some incentives to use Atlas... I think so.

I was being facetious as I don’t think this feature would drive the decision. I agree PA is either providing incentives or is simply that much less.

Being a little cheaper, might be enough to influence initial selection. But to convert one to the other is not cheap. Thus it takes more incentive than a slight price advantage to get a room to change.

1.) Fix the cage. Anytime you're dealing with amounts around $2,000 or yellow chips, the cashier needs to type up a report on you and it takes forever. Go study everything the Wynn poker cage does (including not having to hand count bills in front of customer), copy it, and enjoy all the time and money you save.
2.) Cell signal is awful. Fix wifi so that you don't need an e-mail and make it faster than 6mbps.
3.) Make $3/5 NL+ 8 handed; raise the minimum to $400.
4.) Turn off the music.
5.) Allow 90 to 120 minutes for Poker Atlas waitlist instead of 60 min.

Palazzo (if you know where to park) is awesome. I have upgraded card for free parking but even if you don't I think it's 3 hours of poker to get it free for the day.

Where are you parking?

Would be perfect if they blocked wifi and cell service altogether.

I wouldn’t care about the speed too much, but need to be reachable 24x7. Remove all cell access and I go elsewhere.

Why because you know they are filing a CTR? Or because of the time?

As to Wynn not counting cash in front of me, not going to really save time. Because I am definitely going to carefully count standing right there. If I witness them counting and nothing jumps out, I may only do a quick check at the window and then full count off to the side. But they don’t count means I am, including aligning all the bills.

I enjoyed it. Then again, did not keep me awake. I could get a phone call from on-site staff at 03:00, answer phone before 2nd ring, make a 6 or 7 figure decision and be back asleep inside 5 min.

Everyone knew coming in the terms and we were compensated accordingly. And if you wanted some no call time, you had soft and hard backups

Wynn puts it through the Money counter in front of you.

As for them typing up a report at Venetian. It could take up to five minutes because sometimes they need supervisors to come over to verify what game you're in or playing. It's friggin brutal.
