Crown Casino (Melbourne, Australia) - Page 42 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Given how long the tournament break was, and the turnover of staff, I imagine few dealers know games other than Holden and Omaha.

Can you ask the TD if (and hopefully when) tournament results will be uploaded to Hendon Mob, and if the answer is “they won’t”, then why?

I asked a guy last month who I think was above the TDs, casino manager or something. Got told they are waiting for approval/clearance before they can - involved making sure it's okay because HendonMob is a third party site or something alongside player information. Past tournaments are on there so I don't know why it's different now though.

He did tell me though that once they get given the 'green light' that all results since tournaments started back up would be posted.

My guess has been that it relates to the Royal Commission. People will get rather annoyed and vocal if major series return and results do not get uploaded.

I wonder how receptive the poker room would be to new games these days.

Like you mentioned Kerr there’s probably been a dealer skill drop off. I’ve been loving Big O lately (5 card PLO Hi/Lo) but I can’t imagine a crown dealer in 2024 dealing with a quartered pot

Back in the day, you could request a new game like pineapple, and they would typically start up a waiting list

Today is supposedly Day One of a new Crown Casino. Last year, Crowm Sydney let 100 staff go, now Crowm Melbourne has let 200 staff go. And then today:

Crown Resorts keeps its licence to run after probation period ends

Asked again last night about results (I've got a win and a couple places I'd like to see on my profile) - got told it's in motion and to keep an eye on the website. I noticed that their Crown Poker Series is listed on HendonMob now - ended up checking the site and looks like it's all gotten a big update with structures for the series coming up.

I'll chuck the links here:
Schedule
Structure

@kerr Apparently majority of the staff let go were pit bosses. Fair few of them were part of their poker department players were saying.

Not sure what I was expecting, but the Crown Poker Series main event went from 217 entries down to a final table of 9 in about 8 hours, which included two 15-min breaks. $69k up top.

That's ridiculously quick.

Yes and no

I can’t recall if Crown has ever run O8 cash.

Crown used to spread PLO8 cash pre-COVID, usually once a month or so on weekends.

Would be great to get PLO8 cash up again.
