As prizm and ooch said, black card is still active as of right now. I've encountered the kiosk glitch myself sometimes. Just try a different one.

I've played more in the past few months than ever before due to the free rooms, but now the only May offers I see are $10/week, food voucher, and free binoculars.

They're overhauling their entire comp system and that's going to create cutbacks for many people. It's likely going to kill most poker players.

If I remember correctly, last year most poker players didn't get free rooms during the summer. So it could be worse. (Yes, I know its not summer yet)

Not sure what they are doing with the comps. I have only been 3 or 4 times this year, and am still getting comped rooms for may.

It's always a mystery. I have stepped up my play so much the last six weeks, i'm disappointed not to get the free rooms back. If I don't get them in June, which it seems likely I wont, I probably won't force myself to go down nearly as much.

I'm hoping to get confirmation on these rumors this weekend.

Was nice meeting you o0ch last night, also had a good session. Flopping sets like it's my business lol.

Off to get lunch soon then grind I guess. Probably need to start exchanging phone numbers so can text people about getting food. yawn.

Mostly $1/$2, some 2/5, a couple of $200 or less tournies. No table games upstairs.

Really wasn't expecting May room comps (M-W).

What about those sessions split by a nights sleep in the hotel? That may be a huge factor when it comes to poker players. Regardless, it looks like it may make sense to only sign in if you are committed to a long session.

That's 1 of the key things I'm going to try to find out this weekend. I highly doubt a broken session would count as more than 1 visit if within the same day. Regarding the 'visit' issue, I'm going to find out:

Does 'visit' equal 'day' or 'trip'? In other words, if I go down for the weekend, is that 1 visit or 3 (Fri/Sat/Sun)?
Is a visit only counted once you swipe in at the table? Or does *any* account activity on the day register a visit (if you don't swipe in at the table, but use your card to buy food, or get in the lounge, or use a room even, does that count)?
Is the '3 visit' rumor even true?

I hope to have a trip report by the end of the weekend.

It means you're low on the player totem pole, which is not unexpected for poker players (rankings are from A-F).

One thing to watch is that the Bravo system has conveniently missed a lot of my hours in the last three weeks. Yes, the shift manager will make the adjustment, but it is starting to get old that the system hiccups, shows me at the table playing, but when I review it later, somehow I'm in the lobby for 6 hours.

was nice meetin you as well Mad Maniac, and 7 sets in one session?! That's wat dreams are made of!

I spoke with a floor person today, and she said that she has heard nothing of the rumored comp changes... keep in mind floors aren't hosts but that is reassuring if floors haven't heard anything yet..

anyone catch the "fight" today? Security was called and they went to review the tapes, lol

Finally got my room offers back for may. It's been a while. It makes me wonder what the F they base your play on. Not much has changed on my end. But I haven't had any offers since last year.

Does this not show up until after you accept the rooms? I just went to my page to see what I was rated and I didn't see it.

It's not supposed to show up at all. When the offers came out, the letter was at the end of the "Free rooms Sun-Thur" or whatever yours says. A day later the letter was removed. I think it was an error on their part, which they corrected. They are very much against transparency when it comes to how they rank their players.

also curious about this. trying to decide if i want to play my monthly trip at the woods or MS tomorrow. don't get to make the drive down and play for a solid session very often. prefer foxwoods, but if the games are a little drier than the typical saturday/sunday, will make a switch this time.
