Card Player says Phil is coming back for the Az thing.

Was playing 3/5 and guy at my table had high hand so spun the wheel, literally exact same time he hit jackpot on the wheel the table next to it erupted. I thought they were cheering at him at first, then I realized.

FYI I just had to delete a couple of posts because an unauthorized employee of CAZ posted about something other than rules/procedures. Sorry about that!

Are O8 and OE different games?

OE means a mixed game of Omaha hilo 8 or better and Stud hilo 8 or better.

Of course...

O8 means Omaha hi/lo 8 or better.

OE means Omaha hi/lo 8 or better AND stud hi/lo 8 or better

Thanks.

Didn't see it posted in here but did that super bad beat for holdem finally hit?

Yes, they hit the Mega Holdem Jackpot on Thursday night, Table #7 $2/$3. The hand was flopped Quad Queens losing to a Straight Flush on the river I think.

yep. I walked over to look, QQ8c6c9c..

Also, they said they won't be doing the big jackpot anymore. And someone pointed out today that the number on the ticker which is like $800k is the pool for promotions including bad beats/high hand etc. Seems ridiculous they have all that money and won't even redo the 100k.

So they still have or close to 1million dollars of players money. Do they tell you how much they take out of YOUR MONEY for administrative fees every month. they were still taking a 2 dollar rake for JP. If they want to get players from other rooms why not run no JP rake for a month with a three dollar max rake. And still give out regular bad beat moneys. WOW SOMEBODY COULD BEAT THE GAME.
See if they real care about players or not.

Just got back from playing about 20 hours of mix games at Bellagio. Every draw game what did I see?

Rabbit hunting.

Spent some time in Bobby's room. What did I see?

Rabbit hunting.

It's apparently standard feature of draw games for most draw players.

Give Talking stick credit for stopping it. It was never on low limit games only done ont higher limit games. Hope that means they are not goingnto let a few high limit players run the games. Rabbit hunting is very bad for several reasons.

What happens in Bobby's room, stays in Bobby's room.

Since when is cardplayer's feature cover story a 2 page tournament advertisement? I am used to seeing 2 out of 3 pages in the magazine covered with tournament advertisements but was surprised to see one as the feature story.

It's about time the poker room has some rules and is going to enforce them. When i first moved here and started playing at Talking Stick about 4 years ago i couldn't believe the crap that went on in the room. No real rules, lax enforcement and get 5 different rulings if you called 5 different floor people over to decide the same issue. Glad there is a new poker room director who is taking the job seriously and trying to make things better for ALL players.

Nope, name one.

It holds up the game.

I understand that you're a nosebleed-stakes player who thinks everyone should cater to your customers at any expense. But I don't think you're going to find a lot of support for that view among people who are not fellow nosebleed-stakes players.

Like it or Not, this whole rabbit-hunting argument kind of goes back to my A and B dealers argument. And I totally understand the argument that A dealers would rather be B dealers (especially in AZ). But when you have all B dealers its "the letter of the law", "No difference between high stakes and low stakes games".

But in super High stake games at Bobby's and Ivey's room, I doubt they got those dealers dealing $1/$2 NL or $4/$8 Limit games. And the high-stake players have more lee-way. You can't tell me Ivey and Doyle don't (or shouldn't) carry more clout then a small stakes player.

Not saying it's good or bad. But in AZ; every game, and every player, is treated the same. I don't necessarily think that's right. I don't think a $40/$80 player is the same as a $3/$6 player. I know some won't agree with this, but when you walk into a Honda dealership it isn't (and I don't think should) be the same as walking into a Ferrari dealership.

Everyone should definitely be treated with respect, but I think there's a difference between a PRO and a Amateur. And a Amateur and a Rich Fish. etc. IMO.

Nope, I've never seen it hold up "high stakes" games in any significant way.

And I understand if the room doesn't want people rabbit-hunting in flop games, no matter what the stakes are. But it's primarily occuring in Draw games, and it's a staple of them because rabbit hunting isn't telling you if you go unlucky, it's telling you if you made the "right decision" (in a results oriented world), and it doesn't slow draw games.

These players are customers. They go to play mid/high stakes draw games for entertainment. Rabbit hunting makes the game more entertaining for them. Without rabbit hunting the game doesn't go faster, it might never run.

One More Edit: Casino Arizona has a vibrant "High Stakes" section that runs 20-40 and up nearly around the clock. It does cater to a different group of customers, with a different set of expectations and interests. The Venetian never was able to keep any mid-stakes or high stakes games running for any period of time, it's a low limit only room. It probably benefited having an extremely consistent and uniform set of rules. But the high stakes section in Casino Arizona will not benefit from imposing rules needed for low limit games that will make high limit games less enjoyable.

This is of course silly. The room has been generally well run, and calling over the lead floor occasionally to ensure a decision is made correctly is a sign of it.

Maybe CAZ paid for it.
