Any details? When, who hit, etc?
What did it reset to? (Should be over $100k still)

I hope it was a spewy reg that'll give the money back eventually and not some rando 'tourist'.

pauly d said it hit this afternoon.

With the table share, some of the money should definitely be coming back into the community. What would the table share be for a nine player table? $340K*25%=$85K/7~$12K - taxes.

They're 10 handed tables, 40/20/40 split. So the table share is 5% of the total jackpot per seat. $340k*0.05 = $17k for a full table.

(Protip, 10% of anything is easy, move the decimal. 5% is just half, a 20% tip is double.)

Nice improvement with a bigger field, should cash next week alex!!

Why does MCC give free rooms people can't actually get/book...........

So dumb!!!

Gonna call My VIP Guy Host... Such a time vampire!!!

hey sorry if this has been covered before but i'm like six pages behind

what's the biggest game running right now? is it still motor city plo?

friend of mine played 2 hands of $2000 at bj for about six hours there and they wouldn't give him a room six months later because "he didn't have any recent play"

The appropriate response to this is "**** you then, I'm going to go play at MGM" ... you'll probably have an offer by the time you get to the elevator.

We will have to agree to disagree about the bolded part. If you practice proper bankroll management, you don't have to worry about when to "plop your nuts down for a swongy tournament." Instead of entering 10K tournaments that I can't afford, I would rather work my way up and play in more affordable events. A lot of players from the charity room where I play have played either WSOP circuit events (including the recent main event in Chicago) or HPT events in or near Michigan.

Not only do such events allow those players to play within their bankrolls, but they also save the expense of going to a tournament in Las Vegas. It's hard to make a big mistake, either in poker or in life, when you only do things for which you can afford to pay cash.

Yes, there are rich people (elitists, to use your word) such as Jason Alexander that buy into the Main Event. But since he made all that money doing his job (acting) I don't really consider him an elitist either.

I'm not anything close to either rich or elite, but I practice good bankroll and money management. I haven't made a car payment in more than ten years, and I don't use credit cards.* When I play a tournament and cash, it's all mine, and I can't imagine doing it any other way.

My examples of pros who from the beginning did it with their own money were Liebert and Little, both of whom earned their bankrolls; Liebert by saving a lot of money while working her previous job, and Little by playing a ton of SNGs (he claims to have "played more SNGs than just about anybody in the world") with the goal of grinding out 100+ buy-ins for the WPT.

Nothing elitist about either of those approaches. Just good money and bankroll management.

*The one exception is that I keep a Visa credit card for depositing on poker sites, because most debit cards (including mine) do not support international transactions.

The PLO game at MGM afaict

Wow, that blows my mind. I've been HU for over an hour three times (once live and twice online.) I won two of those.

Rarely are we close to even in chips when we get there in a charity event and 90% of the time, the ave stack is less than 15bbs.

Using Jason Alexander is a very bad example.
He begs Pokerstars to put him in the WSOP ME every year , and has said publicly that he would never have 100% of himself.

I would be more concerned with making sure the databases show chops correctly. I hate seeing someone that can claim a 1st place win when they chopped 10 ways and he just had the most chips at the time..

That's why I think they should figure out the money but still play it out. Thing is, people often want to chop because they're tired and/or bored and don't want to play any more.

This is probably true in many cases, but I can't wrap my brain around that feeling.

Maybe in charity rooms but I wouldn't expect this in tournaments that would post results to an online database. Big tournaments would be solely a financial decision.

Maybe we can borrow some math guys from the Borgata thread.

I stone bubbled a 360 last time and I was under the impression that you didn't get an option if you satty'd it. I could be way wrong though.

Call your host. If you are trying to book online and there is nothing available, if you call they can book you when you want pretty much instantly. I don't even try booking online anymore just call or email your host.

Exactly

So I saw on FB that MGM confirmed that the bbj was hit for $343k. I'm pretty sure this happened because I decided to play at MCC instead of MGM the day before.
