Yeah they have been running satellites in the tournament area where the cash games are located.

Is there a schedule for sattys or are they just SNGs?

So what's it like there? Good turn out ? Everybody having fun ? What ?
We need updates. LOL Were they overwhelmed? Underwhelmed ? What are the cash games like ? Is it worth a drive up there ? Thanks

Everything was picking up in the cash game room Friday morning. WSOP TD and Dealers are there for the tourney which made everyone excited. No rookie Harrah's Dealers

Heading up there tomorrow for the 3pm tourney. How has the turn out been so far?

Still some bad dealers. On Friday during Event 2 there was one dealer who went to the wrong table, so we were the delayed while they were figuring out their rotations.

Also had a situation where seat 10 opens gets 3 callers, then the dealer grabs the cards from in front of seat 10 and puts them in muck. He is yelling "no, no no no" while its happening but doesnt have his hand or a chip protecting his cards so his hand is dead and he loses his open before he gets to see a flop.

How many players were there in the Re Entry tourney?

Around 660 I believe, 85 left, 72 pay

The player in seat 10 is at fault. Protect your own damn hand

Agreed, but it still doesnt happen with a good dealer

Even good dealers make mistakes. After several thousand hands stuff just happens. It is always the players responsibility to protect his hand. Especially in a room with below average dealers. A few of the regular dealers are great. It is just the bad dealers are really bad. There is very little middle ground. Many of the dealers would not be allowed to touch cards at other casinos. One night of video review and they would be reassigned to another job. I believe much of this comes from a lack of leadership in the room. The brushes need to pay closer attention and actually tell the dealers what they are doing wrong. Be more active in the actual game. With only five dealt tables during regular operation this should not be a problem.

Of course this is assuming the floor people have an actual understanding of the rules and flow of the game. Many of the fill ins from down stairs just pass the time and wait until they are relieved. Of course with the digital tables it is not exactly a taxing job, but I feel there is a certain level of neglect in the 2/5 game. It seems like a free for all with very little oversight.

Overall I enjoy the room and appreciate the staff. I do feel at times there is too much attention on cell phones at the table and not enough focus on the actual game which suffers when bad dealers are not supervised. A few rotten apples ruins the bushel. I know a few good players who are already driving an extra three hours to avoid the inconsistency. We are playing for real money.

I'd be interested as well. I PM'd Anthony about a week ago and he hasn't responded.

I cashed in the 5:00pm $200 PLO event on the 6th, and it shows on hendon mob already...

Just wanted to let anyone know that is looking for a room, Cherokee Grand Hotel near the casino is going to run a special rate for poker players. Tonight only. Standard non-smoking 2 queen beds. $74.99. By walk in only.

828-497-0050
1500 ft from casino
shuttle service to and from casino on the hour every hour and by request as well

If Anthony still checks this thread, I just want to say thanks for running the tournament series at Cherokee.

It seemed to be very well run, and it's great to have a legitimate poker tournament option in this part of the country that draws good sized fields.

I hope Harrah's Cherokee plan on hosting many more tournament series in the future.

Would be really small fields seeing how they only have 5 tables, JS.

Heard rumor that poker management is going to reserve a live dealer table on weekends just for omaha in an effort to get a regular game going. A table or two of pokertek tables may be removed to make space.

What is the rake for live games and poker pro? Probably the same I would imagine?

Ppro 10% $5 max
Live 10% $7 max

Total ridiculousness late last night. Guy busts out of a short handed game. There are two 1/2 games going. He shows back up, signs up at the waiting list, and gets seated at the other table which had 8 players and we had 5. I go ask the floor what's up, and he says "we are using the waiting list" and says it is ok that he sits at the full game .

Then a player at our game quits...and signs in at the list and he goes to seat her at the other table. At the same time, I go to see if the three remaining players at our game can have the three seats at the other table. Anyways, he let's the players buy in for the minimum buy in at the other table, and says it is ok....

Can't say yay or nay on PokerPro tables, but I can confirm the scheduled Omaha game on Friday and Saturday nights.

We will also be closing the room on weekdays/nights between the hours of 6am and 10am starting January 2nd. The room will remain open all night on weekends.

Right now it's looking like two major events in 2014. The WSOP will be in town in April, but dates for the second event are still in the air. Maybe September?

I'd love to see more events, but I'm not sure that's feasible at the moment for a number of reasons. We'll continue looking into it though.

Run a monthly 25k+ GTD, 250+35ish and I will have a total mancrush on you, Anthony.

I'd be there every month even if some months we had to play in the food court.
