I couldn't find the fish so I'm sure it was me.
I'm surprised this was your experience. They've been cycling through a few different floors, and I guess this was an off night. If it had been someone like Dean, Joe, Garrett, or Josh running the floor, you definitely would have received a warmer welcome than the "none at all" you report.

How are things going at COTR now that the students have returned?
How many cash tables are running each night?
What kind of stakes are being played for? Max buy ins?
They've pretty steadily been filling two tables of cash, usually 200 max 1-2. I understand there's a 2-5 game happening regularly on Mondays and sporadically depending on the players, but that's above my level so I haven't paid much attention. The games have been a really mixed bag - about half the regulars are solid, and half of them are not very good at all. There are only two or three I would consider sharks, and they don't spend too much time there. I went two days ago and my table crushed me; I went back yesterday and was possibly the best player there. I've seen them run blackjack in the corner on weekends, and they brought in a masseuse part-time. Seems business is doing pretty well, but I'd really like to see them fill up the room with cash tables before I consider them a major success. At any rate, the guys running things remain optimistic for now, and I'll support them as long as my roll holds out.
