No, send me an email. That's reasonable. I guess when I venture down there next I'll look for it and see if I'm on the list. Some of these top 100 won't even know of a list but the ones against it definitely will.

I think both sides have advantages and disadvantages and anyone that is adament on one side or the other is being a little obtuse.

I do, however, think it is kinda ridiculous that some regulars have more pull than the overall collective player pool. Put it up to a vote and not up to a very small group of grumpy (I know of at least one) regulars.

this

ideal voting scenario would be a vote every night for a week at a certain time (say 9pm) by all the 2/5 players ... the regs get more than one vote and you still have close to a consensus as you can get

is it ok to take off your $100 bills (removing "chips") when you leave the table for a break? i saw someone do this...they put the bills back when they returned but could have easily pocketed

yes, I belive you are allowed to take a small percentage of your stack off the table for food or to register for a tourney, cash or chips

As far as I know this isn't true. What he means though is taking the cash (or large chips) with you when you leave the table for a bit. Yes that's fine as long as it all goes back on the table when you return. You should mention how much you're removing so that everyone can ensure the same amount comes back on.

That's a room specific rule. (Not sure what the rule at FW is)

Basically it's an anti-theft measure. Of course you can argue it's easier to grab a few blacks than a few $100s but it makes some people nervous to leave bills on the table when they go for a meal.

"Dealer, I'm picking up five $100s and going to eat"

When they return, they replace the bills.

I don't think there's a huge risk of ratholeing here because the person could have easily picked up, ate, then rebought in for less.

I never saw any problems or heard of any dealers/floors telling a player they cannot do that.

You can take all your money off the table, just count it for the dealer so that someone knows. If anybody objects especially the dealer or a floor supervisor ask them if they can guarantee if the money will be there when you get back. They can't. This doesn't mean you won't get a whole ration of problems trying to do it but they have to let you.

Standard. Should tell the dealer and I always pay attention to make sure they get put back. Too much theft there and bills and large chips are the easiest to steal

Could someone tell me if you can get a food voucher everyday or just once a week? In theory every day is a new 7 day block so I was wondering if this was possible. Or is it once a week regardless? And is it 35 hours in 7 days to get one?

After you play a bunch of hours in any given week (im not exactly sure of how many hours or if stakes matter), you can request a $10 food comp from the floor that can be used within 24 hrs. They take your card, call it in to see if you qualify, then it gets printed and validated by signature. It takes, hopefully, up to 30 mins at the most. Although, sometimes it's taken up to an hour.

The "top 100" list of people they are polling for the 2/5 BBJ is bull****. The guy said it was made based on how many hours you played. He said theres guys on there with as much as 1500 hours and guys with as little as 60-80 hrs. Ive been playing about 20-25 hrs a week for the last 2+ months, and Im not on the list. So yea.
