I don't expect them to do anything, but I did want them to see that the dealer was wrong. I played all night and my player card reflects nothing. I might still play a big tournament there but no more cash games for me.

So, is MDL's Bravo down or is it just not communicating with the internet?

0 games showing right now.

Somebody with some common sense needs to go talk to the marketing department:

"We are excited to announce the launch of our new Live! Rewards® card tier - Jade. Get one step closer to Chairman's Club by earning 1,000,000 points or 7,500 Poker Hours."

Whoopee! 20hrs/day for 7 days/week... why even put that in there?

Well, you can combine various things to achieve the levels as well. If you had 100,000 roll-over points, played 750 hours of poker and picked up 800,000 points in the pits/slots, you would achieve Jade VIP.

But yeah, it's not really for poker players.

And most people who gamble don't let math get in the way of their dreams.

Are you sure? I could be wrong, but my understanding is that, for example, you need *EITHER* 100 hrs of poker *OR* 25k points to achieve/maintain gold status. If I'm correct, then getting 50 hrs of poker and 12.5k points wouldn't work.

But as I said, I'm perfectly open to being (and actually hope that I am) incorrect. Hopefully Mike can chime in if he knows definitively.

So i went to the customer service desk and asked them the same question. They told me I have 250 poker hours logged in this year.

Then i asked them how many more points would I need to accumulate to maintain my platinum status and told me that I can maintain my platinum status by accumulating another 250 poker hours or 100,000 tier points by Dec 31. They said I have only 1000 tier points so far this year. They also told me that I cannot combine poker hours and tier points together and that they are independent from each other.

Does this make sense or did they misinform me?

These posts are over 2 years old, so it would still be good to get a more current confirmation, but it seems Rapini is correct.

I'm pretty sure when changes were made for the year 2016, we became able to combine points and poker hours for tier levels. (We also became eligible for main casino drawings and earn 100 points/hour for poker play). But things often change, so hopefully Mike can give a definitive answer.

Mike,

Looking for what the "Live Poker Room" ruling is for the following:

Limit Holdem - Heads Up on the river.

Player 1 bets the river.
Player 2 has chips in hand and while making forward motion asks if they can raise or just call.
Player 1 seeing the forward motion flips cards over and a Js flips up and the other card lands on top of the muck.
Player 2 raises and Player 1 calls thinking they can use both cards.
Player 1 claims to have the KsJs for a flush - Ks is on top of muck face down but looks to be retrievable.
Player 2 shows 2 pair.

What should the floor ruling be? Is Player 1's card retrievable or do they play one card?

Sorry, the word is, they cannot be blended.

Please don't be offended, but there are too many variables that are not available to give a good response. I would hope the dealer would get a supervisor over before Player 1 calls.


Thanks

Not poker related, but does anyone have a good estimate of how many tier points per hour you'd get at $100/hand blackjack? I know its likely to vary by pit boss, etc., but just wondering what a rough estimate is.

Tournament was also running, MDLive was at capacity. The Shoe was also close to capacity.

Poker is alive and well in Maryland.

Lunch buffet is closed except for Saturday ($15).
It's actually pretty good.
It's a step up from when they had lunch buffet everyday.

Don't know if the sun brunch is worth $20 tho.
At $18 when they had lunch buffet everyday, it was only OK.

don't quite understand what over/under is since I don't do sports betting.

but im betting at least 1 person made black card from poker. (maybe in 2015 and he's using an expired card?)
