It would be great if you guys could turn it down a few notches (I mentioned this to three floor people today with no luck, the last telling me they weren't sure where the volume control was located).

Thanks!
Since there were open seats all evening even with lists >100 deep....NO.

They need to work a lot better at getting people to seats. In my 2 visits so far both times we hardly ever played with a full table even with a huge wait list and endless line. Might help to escort people to tables also or just make it clear where they should go.

Also, why no sports on the tvs? Everyone seems to say they can't change them but when we are already sitting at a table we don't need to see the wait list over and over

Lol thought about waiting in line twice. Can't wait in line 1+ hour to get your name on a list to wait another hour. Will have to try at like 1pm tomorrow.

The bravo showed an accurate table number throughout the day yet the list vanished when it got insane. We all realize that this is the opening weekend and everyone wants to play there, but misleading the bravo is not a good practice and will anger alot of people.

every room in the country can turn there waitlist to no updates btw...so its weird that this was the only room in the country that had the list off. and OVERLOAD is not an option or excuse... its a computer if the open table # was accurate the list should be also / same system.

just my .02 cents
This afternoon when the lists were 100+ deep for each game, there was already a glitch in the bravo system. I was in the room and they were actively opening new tables and seating people. I'm guessing once someone was added to the list the names would continue to appear in Bravo even after they were seated. Thus the inflated inaccurate numbers on Bravo. I'm actually glad that the waiting list dissappeared rather than show numbers that were plain wrong.

Mike has no interest in "misrepresenting" the wait list to get more people in the door. The room is VERY POPULAR as it is. Technical glitches do happen and there's no need to go up in arms and call foul. The room was running at full capacity by late afternoon on a Friday and you could see that on bravo. Common sense dictates that if you show up you won't get a seat right away and there will be people waiting before you.

My .02 cents.

my one and only real problem was getting people seated when others left the game sometimes it took 15 to 20 minutes. The asked the for the bravo to be updated but that did not help.

Wow, 32 games running at 5:30 AM this is great. On my way up for the 2/2 PLO or 2/5 NL. Come by and say hi I have the white "WPT" cap on.

so u gotta wait on line to get in the front doors of the poker room first. after u get thru the front door, the point is moot.
I see. Thank you for the clarification.

I brought in my small draw sting backpack for chips. They asked to search it. Which I have no problem with since I do security. However women with HUGE purses just before me went in UNSEARCHED. This I dont understand. A bag is a bag, are we saying here that only men are criminals and we carry knives and guns in our drawstring bags? Yet women dont. All bags should be searched if your gonna search.

After Boston, it's a damn shame anyone goes into a public place this crowded, unsearched.

Take 6 of your girlfriends clutches and combine them. Suddenly a small bag is a big bag.

Something the size of a Sharpie can blow your arm off...

Search everything please.

I actually prefer the loud PA. Everyone doesn't have the best hearing and with huge wait lists a louder PA helps moves things along.

Probably about 30 people in line just to get on the lists right now. Bravo shows a 10+ wait for 1/2NL & 4/8OH8. All other games have a minimal wait.

Can't imagine what it's going to look like it here this afternoon!

Since bravo can't see everyone in line for the podium...the line is about 40 people deep.

Line is now about 60-70 people. But moving. And growing.

And it looks like Mike has listened to the community again. There are employees going through the line asking for players in 5/10, 10/25, even 2/5. Basically just filling seats.

Interested to hear your thoughts on 2/2 plo. I generally play 2/5 at chuck but thinking of starting to play this 2/2 plo.
