This. The amount of people who misread their hand or do it to see the other player's hand wayyyyyy outnumber the people dumb enough to collude in that way. Even if they do collude in that way it doesn't give much of an advantage.

What would the penalty have been?

Being honest, do you think they guy was trying to collude and let someone off the hook? Or just made a mistake or didn't understand? He obviously missed out on possible profits there...

TDA rules (if MDL follows them):

So the TD could have just issued a miss-One-hand penalty.

Or the verbal warning...

Yep. I think that's the best choice for the supervisor if he thinks it's just an accident and it only occurs once.

However in this situation he just said, "that's not the nuts" which is bs IMHO.

We have decided to hold of on this Series. Much too much other stuff going on in September.


Thanks



Mike

Does this mean that the only promotions for September are high hands and the Sunday drawings?

Thanks

We think that's enough. Didn't make sense to have a Day 2 on a Saturday along with $1500 High hands


Thanks



Mike

Sorry, didn't mean to imply the high hand promo was insufficient.

At luk fu, I asked about no meat versions of their dishes.
Same price

That's unfortunate. I played in the last week's ladder tournament (chip leader after the 1st series of flights!) and looked forward to playing in some of the ladder events you mentioned for September. It was a good structure, and the turnout was pretty solid, seemed to me. The one's next month did a good balance of bringing in people during the week, with giving us players with full-time jobs a prod to get in there and not having to take Friday off (something I'm not able to do very often).

I'm sure a lot of the area players saw it the same way. Hope you'll revisit the ladder tournies in the future. I know you don't need to incentivize Saturday play, but you get a lot of people in there during the week hoping to make the day 2. Please consider it.

Thx,

AA it was a mistake the first time they gave me the Pad Thai no meat for less.

I voiced my opinion a couple of times, but, I wasn't successful.

Have the dealer hit the service button on the Bravo. Time tracking now kicks in. If the room uses the software in any kind of optimized way, they will be generating stats about how long the waitress takes to get to the table for an order.
Knowing the management here, and their familiarity with poker room opps, I would expect them to look at this data longterm. It may not be a short-term solution, but it is something.

Mike has stated previously that Poker Room does not manage Food and Beverage. The most the Poker Room can do is raise the issue with the F&B team.

In my experience, when someone asks the dealer to hit the service button, the dealers will sometimes say that it's pointless and the waitresses don't really pay attention to it anyway. I don't really notice if the waitresses come around quicker when the button is lit up vs making their usual rounds

I'm not sure how much F&B can do to correct the issue either. I would think it would be common sense that helping more customers results in more tips. Maybe the waitresses don't like making money?

It also probably bears saying - the fact that you could FIND a waitress, even if she was busy socializing with someone else (not you?) - marks a significant improvement over what it used to be like...

by extension, that means mike has no control over the cashiers in the cage?

ie:
long line despite 3 people in the cage.
1 looked like a supervisor but he's reading the computer screen.
1 cashier was servicing customers.
other cashier was counting/stacking chips on the back counter.

I couldn't say, since I can't recall Mike speaking about the cage.

But I would suspect not. The casino would, I assume, have a cage staff that would rotate through all the cages, while the poker staff is limited to the poker room.

The cashier staff is separate from poker room, and they do rotate to all the other cages in the casino

Just sat at Luk Fu for 10 mins and was completely ignored. Poop like that will make me drive the extra 10 mins to Horeshoe instead.

Luk Fu's service is AWFUL. Its a real shame too, because I think their food is good. It would just be nice if they filled up my water a second time. They do seem to run their butts off though.

Luk fu has ok food, overpriced but that's expected in a casino. But the service as others have commented, is terrible. Consistently terrible. And at all times. Went for lunch, place is 25% full. Took 6 min to take order, 4 min to come back with drink, 12 min for soup to arrive. She did bring my check early, while I was still eating. Then disappeared. 10 min waiting for them to take my card.

I seldom leave a crappy tip, but the last 3 times, I have.

Noodles seemed to have reopened with a short ramen menu. Open nights, I will have to try them out. Luk fu is too bad.

Y'all complain about everything. The servers are just fine, if you can't wait go to the bar.
