Growth may attract more players once it gets bigger, whereas previously I liked the way they 'rewarded' regulars with a much easier target to achieve. If a high % of the regs that are left are nits, then it will hit more often ... which is not good for business. GL
I'm not sure how laws work, but I can only assume that the previous high hand promos/FH pyramid came from the same drop that feeds the BBJ. There was a noticeable change in BBJ growth when FK instituted high hands 5 years ago or so. The jackpot would routinely get to room share levels quickly, but I haven't seen it clear $50K in a while now, and it seems to only grow 1 or 2 grand a week. I think they are hoping the quads beaten will get it up above $200K, driving traffic to the room for the big score.
As for decreased action, it hasn't been that bad so far. Off peak hours are down slightly, but those were never the high profit times anyways. The room is still pretty full for prime time on the weekends.
Some regs on Thursday were frustrated by the lack of PLO, when 2 games were going at gun lake. They mentioned some action players that the games revolve around going there, so the FK regs seem to have followed. Answer20 or Dick Tracy could probably confirm this.

Yeah, if only I could rewind 15 years and go back. I could've probably paid my way through college in this game with what I know now. I was never properly rolled for them, and even back then was a bit of a bankroll nit as a broke college kid (now I'm a broke married guy with 3 kids). I just remember when I read about shortstacking NL around that time, I had to give it a shot in this game. There was nothing better then watching grumpy a-holes turn beat red when I would GII light against their over aggression, win, and then rack up to go play 3/6.
I'd love to hear about how the regs got banned, although given the level of saltiness at those tables, it's not hard to imagine. There were honestly a few times I feared for my safety in that room. I had one guy follow me to the limit game taunting me, and incompetent Greektown management did jack all **** about any of it.
