The line went down substantially since they opened the swiper. Probably about 20 now. Supposedly they will be opening up the rest of the tables at 3:00.

38 tables and 520 waiting according to Bravo.

I like this rule greatly and should be this where everywhere. Most rooms I have played in on the west coast dont allow you to bring your whole stack to the table. Only can bring in up to the table maximum, which is fair to everyone at the table or new players to that table. How is it if you are a new player you have limits but a table change doest? Plus like others have said you can table change and punish the people at the table if you are super deep which isnt right also. The way to prevent this is to put a limit on the table changes or hopping around and make it more difficult for the changes, but the players that do this wont like that.

I AM NOT implying that grievances don't need to be addressed/fixed. All I'm saying is that they are probably dealing with hundreds of these right now and they are prioritizing with the hopes of addressing all the issues. The funny part to me ( I see not you) is that everyone thinks his grievance should be dealt with here and now.
You are lucky to have this management team in place. They will get to it all in time. I'm NOT belittling your/anyone's particular issue.

How does it go from this to 49 tables and no waitlist?

There's not "no waitlist" the waitlist just isn't being updated on the Bravo Live app. There's a difference.

Have to admit the demand has exceeded what I would have predicted. There's a chance I'll have some time to go play poker on Monday and at this point it's looking like I might end up in CT one more time because I expect the lines at MDL to be crazy.

Not sure how you dont see a waitlist, this is from the bravo website

That is the old Waitlist with 520 players. There is no waitlist showing on desktop and mobile version and 50 tables now.

The Waitlist is coming up as "No recent updates..." which basically means they are not currently updating the Waitlist.

I called in and asked if the list was accurate and it is indeed. Since then they turned off the waiting list so we can't see it.

i dont even think there is a point of going this weekend.

Nice mix of games running now:

As others reported, either the wait list function is not working or they have taken it offline for some reason.

I fail to understand how a larger stack in a cash game is punishing the shorter stacked people.

Cash games aren't tournament games where it pays off to have extra bullets since you can't rebuy.

Maybe you can argue it punishes people who have accumulated a large stack and aren't comfortable playing deepstacked, but the effective stack size for people who buy-in max or less is the same.

Well, if they took it down, then I think that is poor customer service. If it is a glitch, then no offense. By taking it down on purpose, they still draw people to a casino, who will end up waiting and certainly some of them will play slots or other tables eat their food, somehow spend money in their casino. I did that and walked away a loser without even going into the poker room. So it is a good move by the casino for profits.

Mike,

I was wondering if you could talk with your bosses and try to get on the same page with them about the backpack rule. And allow men to carry smaller bags without getting hassled by anything other than a quick look through the bag.

Your casino probably isn't used to poker players who like to sit and play longer hours without getting up from the table, vs casual gamblers who hop around from slot to slot.

You also spend most of your time not playing when you're at poker table, so it's nice to bring an iPad or book to thumb through when you get the especially slow dealers. I usually just want to pack a hoodie, headphones, iPad, etc. I don't use the stuff half the time, so it's annoying to travel back out to my car to grab things.

Shady to take the list down. Clearly was intentional.

I feel like I'd be wasting my time to drive 2.5 hours(thats without Labor Day traffic) tomorrow. I'm not leaving my house until 230pm. If I'm lucky I will get there at 6pm and probably have to wait until 10pm to sit.

When you swipe to get on the waiting list with your card, do you then have the option to add your phone number for the text system? I know when you simply give them your name they can add your number for the text. Wasn't sure how the swipe works.

The 1-2 list was static at 164 even as they were opening new tables. Makes me think it might be an issue with the Bravo system getting overwhelmed. Better to have no info and call-in than bad info that could be misleading in my opinion.

Please keep in mind that 520 waiting list - is *NOT* the same as 520 additional or unique more people waiting. when I sign up- I will list myself across anywhere from 5 or more different games that I'm willing to play any first available. even when i'm in a game seated- I will leave my name on wait list for other more preferable games. so there are a boatload of duplicates in both people seated playing and on waitlist... and for those waiting to play that are on multiple wait lists. Granted, although I am not there, I'm sure that there may very well be 100 or 150+ people waiting that are not yet in a game. But by no means can I foresee that 520 additional non-seated players around the casino waiting.

Like I said, if its a glitch...then no offense...

Tried calling in for 2-5 and was told they weren't taking call ins.

I really doubt they intentionally hid the waiting list.

Like almost anything in poker everyone has an opinion and there are few clear right and wrongs, basically everyone has their own opinion. But look at it this if you come to a new table as a new player you cannot buy in for more than table max. So the you are creating inequalities and allowing one person to buy in large but not another. Is that right? I understand that you are can argue this both ways but i just feel that anyone coming to a new table not from a broken game should be only allowed to buy in for max allowable buyin. Allowing someone to come in ultra deep but the others could not puts them at a disadvantage unless they built it up at that table. Not sure we want to discuss this much here as the Mods may ask us to take this discussion to another forum.

With all that craziness I'm sure they hardly can make Bravo work, sure not even thinking about cheating with it.

Waiting in line right now. Wrapped back to high limit room fyi

I'm pretty sure its for safety reasons and if they allowed it for poker players they would have to allow it for everyone and then the next thing you know we are having an Ocean 11 scene in the casino.
