From what I've gathered, the revised structure for rewards cards are:

Red
Gold-20,000 (I think)
Platinum-100,000 points
Black-500,000 points
Chairmen-2,000,000 points

This is supposed to begin March 1st. We all should get something in the mail explaining this.

Sent from my SM-N900T using 2+2 Forums

Only partly correct. It is NOT a million $ guarantee

I have a class today on the new tiers and will do my best to explain afterwards.


Thanks




Mike

This does not compute.

Don't worry taffy I never learned about maths either. Mike is it true that these tournaments are going to lock up 30 tables?

Have them do the exact opposite of this please, except maybe for all-ins

Almost exactly right. Gold is 25,000 not 20,000

Gold is currently 20k Are you saying they'll raise it?

If it was 20k and will be 25k then my abacus says yes

That is going to be a nightmare. Let's attract a ton of people to the room but only use 22 tables for cash. Sounds like 200+ person waitlists can be expected. Be prepared to get there early and camp out if you are a cash player.

Maybe they have a secret they haven't revealed yet and they will be using Ramhead Center Stage and/or the high limit lounge to house temp tables.

Maybe they'll start at 11am weekday, when the tables are free. As tourney tables free up, the cash games can grow.

Don't know if this is the plan. I also like using Ram's head.

Any word on how many different colored T5000 chips they're going to be using?

30 is the max we will use and tournament start times will mostly be at 10:15 am. Press release Monday, we'll get everything up on the website soon. We won't be doing a lot of marketing on this event.

yes

Ok, I'm going to try and give you what I learned.

Starting March 1

Poker players won't see a lot of difference. It's still an hour = $1
Gold $1.25
Platinum $1.50
Black $1.75

You will be grandfathered into the card you currently have.
New tiers are:
100 poker hours for Gold
500 poker hours for Platinum
5,000 poker hours for Black
forgetabout Chairmans

You'll be able to check your balances at the kiosks, a slot machine, players club, or the website

Should be able to self comp as you are doing now
30 days of inactivity will lose comp $ That means you have to play not redeem at least once in 30 days. Not my rules

New benefits for Gold:

Discounts at Nieman Marcus in the mall (working on others)
10% discount at all Rams Head Locations
10% discount on Banquet/Catering Services ( I know that's got your interest)
Tiered discounts at Local Hotel Partners and Power Plant Live! Partners
(not sure what that means)

New benefits for Platinum:

Atlantis Bahamas Partner Discounts
Norwegian Cruise Line Partner Discounts
The Streak Anniversary Eligibility
All Gold benefits

Benefits for Black:

All Gold and Platinum benefits
Atlantis Complimentary Packages
Norwegian Complimenary Packages
VIP Line access

There is a formula used for combining table play, slot points, and poker play that can get you to the next level if you cross over into the other games.

The cards you have are fine but you can get a new one if you wish



Thanks



Mike

Thanks for the information, Mike. The new program looks good for us for the most part. Seems like Black is pretty unattainable for poker only players. The benefits of it though look really good for those that do reach that level. And, I know you said it not your rules, but I'll be the first to say that the 30 days inactivity reset really sucks for a lot of people.

[QUOTE=jhdeity;41909550]Spoke with several Dealers tonight. No promotions for cash game players in Feb or March. They're totally focusing on tournaments for the next 2 months.

You don't get if you don't ask: Dover Downs has a 'tournament' bad beat ($10K), aces over kings beaten. Good idea Mike ?? Even $2K or $5K would be a nice bonus.

[QUOTE=avalon88;41915848] First, we should be careful about what we listen to. We don't always share a month in advance.

Second, it can easily be done but would have to come from the tournament buy in.

Thanks



Mike

The names called for whatever drawing that's going on are being shown on one of the monitors above the bar

Hours to be accumulated by end of 2014?

I've heard at the beginning of every tourney I've played at MD Live that they follow all TDA rules. This is standard practice at all multiday tournaments I've played.(wsop, wpt etc)

http://www.pokertda.com/forum/index.php?topic=462.0

Poker TDA recommended procedures list:

RP-2. Bringing in Bets is Discouraged. Routinely bringing in chips as betting and raising proceeds around the table is poor dealing practice. The reduction in bet stacks may influence the action, create confusion & increase the risk of error. The TDA recommends that dealers do not touch a player's bet unless a count is needed. Only the player currently facing action may ask the dealer to bring-in chips.

I guess this is the reason why they specifically should not be doing the bolded.

http://www.pokertda.com/custom_posts...ial-tda-rules/

From Official TDA rules:

46: Accepted Action
Poker is a game of alert, continuous observation. It is the caller’s responsibility to determine the correct amount of an opponent’s bet before calling, regardless of what is stated by the dealer or players. If a caller requests a count but receives incorrect information from the dealer or players, then places that amount in the pot, the caller is assumed to accept the full correct action & is subject to the correct wager or all-in amount. As with all tournament situations, Rule 1 may apply at TD’s discretion.

1) how much comps per hr would a chairman card get? $2/hr?
2) check balances on website? cool!
is that just the current comp balance like we have now or total points earned so far for the year?

3) what is an Atlantis/norweigian Complimentary Packages?
4) what are the benefits for the Chairman card?

5) VIP line status is no longer for Platinum?? now you need Black or Chairman


note:
when Maryland Live ran a promo in 2013 for $50k cash to the person who earned the most points in a month, the winner had 1.5M points!
#2 person had like 1.4M points

yes, in a month!

hm.. anyone do the math on the new tier requirements based on 600 points = $1 = 1hr?
platinum 500 hrs x 600 = 300k points
black 5000 x 600 = 3M points?!

Mike,
does Maryland live plan to devalue points?
now it will take more than 600 points to convert to $1 comp???

or is it the opposite and they are increasing the value of the points?
platinum 100k points / 500hrs = 200points converts to $1 comp
black 500k points/ 5000 hrs = 100points converts to $1 comp?!

edit:
currently, it's 600points convert to $1 comp

Mike,

A few months ago I was playing 10/25 nl and we wanted to run it three times but the floor wouldn't let us. Today the floor said that if you are heads up you can run it as many time as you want. Is that correct?

Thanks,
Carlos

AA suited - Norwegian and Atlantis packages more than likely means a free trip to Atlantis resort in Bahamas and a free cruise on Norwegian cruise line. I got a free cruise last year from mdl through NCL

Mike,

For Black VIP, are we talking within 1 years time? 100 hours/week, with 2 weeks off? While I appreciate the higher tier, that seems pretty unattainable, unless it's not within a year.

The casino does not want to comp poker players.
