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.

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.

I’m guessing same as 2/5 and 5/10. 10% to $25 max. But I would not bet my house on that. Could be worse, might even be a little better.

Crown Resorts to slash 1000 jobs (mostly in Melbourne).

The chief executive said the restructuring was due to softer economic conditions and gambling restrictions. The challenges at Crown reflect greatly reduced foreign tourism, a sharp decline in local workers in the city centres, and restrictions on gaming play in Sydney and Melbourne.

https://9news.com.au/national/crown-...f-96976f4fe2b5

In poker-specific news, Crown have added more games to their list (check Cash game list below). On the board right now is 2/5 NLHE/PLO mix (interest).

https://www.crownmelbourne.com.au/ca...ker#cash-games

10/20 Limit Omaha Hi/Lo
20/40 Limit Hold’em / Omaha
2/5 NLHE / PLO Orbits
5/10 Two Card Manila
5/10 Three Card Manila
5/10 H.O.R.S.E.

Other than NLHE/PLO mix, the chances of the other games getting up is slim. They have to train up some dealers first. HORSE could run if a group confirm in advance they can get 7-8 players.

Man how come they’re rolling out Manila and not Big O or pineapple. Smh

At least they’re bringing in new games, I’d play NLHE/PLO for sure

The HORSE game looks like it will be limit too?

Of course HORSE is limit, you usually have to get to an 8-game mix to introduce big bet games.

NLHE/PLO should be very popular but the AM last night was being a dick. Constantly on the mic saying it needs to get up so the bosses know there’s interest, if it doesn’t run it might never be offered again. Cry me a river, it’s a Tuesday night. At 6pm there wasn’t even one table of 2/5 PLO running. Run the mix from Thursday to Saturday and it will definitely get up each night.

CPS schedule released (June 5-10)

Satellites now from May 27.

Six events including a Teams event, $1500 Main Event and a $5k high roller.

I wonder if Crown might schedule a larger event in January to attract internationals, maybe not the Aussie Millions just yet, perhaps that could wait until January 2026.

Isn't that the standard rake these days in Aus for $1500's? I don't think the hour restrictions apply for tournaments either. Ain't defending any of it just saying.

Margo’s kitchen is closing down after Sunday night, the café will remain open, but no more meals. Crown is getting smaller by the day.
