I knew a response like this would be coming, and I understand the flip-side of my request. I do wonder if the evening tourneys would get more or less entries if they started later (like 8 PM). Maybe more people are in my situation (and frankly I won't play a tourney if I have to register late), and maybe more people agree with you (and won't play a tourney that starts too late because it will end later). Anyways, just something for Mike to consider.

I didn't mean to be so flippant - sorry if it came across that way. This is a forum for suggestions, and all are valid. There are obviously drawbacks whether it's early or late though. I'd imagine Mike wants to do what he can to maximize entries - who knows what that sweet spot is.

Or maybe the sweet spot would be different start times on different days - a turbo at 8pm on Mondays to overlap with Monday Night Football? An 8pm start on Thursdays since it's generally a later night for most 9 to 5ers? A 7pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with slightly better structures? Or maybe different start times on different weeknights would just confuse people...

What is the turnout like for the nlhe bounty and deepstack tourneys and how many buyins generally get paid out to 1st place?

Also I heard the October tourney schedule would be different. Does anyone have a link to that?

Sorry if this has already been asked, I don't really spend time on this forum.

Matt, small sample size (one week), but last Sunday's deepstack had 148 players and a $13.5K first prize, Wednesday's bounty had 140 players and a $4,300 first prize (plus the bounties), and October's tournament schedule is here: http://www.marylandlivecasino.com/ca...r/view/2013-10

I believe Mike will be posting the number of players in each tournament on Bravo, at least for the time being.

This is true, we tried to hold back today but couldn't wait any longer. I would prefer a better selection, but we can't keep tables open long on a maybe. Sorry

It's been discussed

You can if you win it here. I don't believe they will transfer them in Aruba

Just seeing what will work

Don't know. We've discussed Ramshead, but only briefly


It's really 6 of one and 1/2 dozen of the other.

You can sell it to someone or give to someone. You won't need to do anything on our end. Tournament shouldn't last much past 1am. 20 minute levels should go quick

Matt,
We have one week of history and 1st place is based on the number of runners. Over 100 in each tournament


Thanks


Mike

Mike,

I haven't asked because its been so busy every time I've been in there. Would it be possible to get a 1-2 or 2-2 NLHE/PLO mixed game in the bravo system? I'd be willing to play it on most Monday or Tuesday nights and probably on the weekends if we could get enough interest.

Thanks for considering it.

Id be interested in playing this mix as well

17 on this list as I write this so it's good to see the interest is there. It will fire eventually if not tonight when tables start opening up in the wee hours. Hopefully I'll have more luck getting it going on a Mon/Tues when the room isn't busting at the seems with holdem players heh

not that I care cause I probably wouldn't play, but it should be 2-2 and 2-5. Think that would be better than 1-2

Had a lot of trash in my cup holder and asked a waitress to empty it while I got a water. She took it and still it hasn't returned. What a beat.

Anybody want to help me with a question? So last night a dealer at my 2/5 table accidentally dealt to a stack and the player wasn't present. It's my understanding that hand would be a misdeal. Several of us agreed and began to throw the cards in. The dealer wanted to confirm with a supervisor that it was a misdeal so we waited for a couple of minutes until one came. When he arrived he said because there was "substantial action" meaning three people that followed folded their hand, that it was to be played out between the couple of people that held on to their cards. The only reason there was action at all is because we thought it was a misdeal. So what constitutes "substantial action"? Shouldn't the hand have been redealt?

I think you just make the blinds 2-2 for both to keep it simple. NLHE would play pretty deep, but I don't think that would be a problem. I'm sure Mike will figure it out.

When a dealer deals to a player that isn't present (or one that isn't entitled to a hand, ex. He missed a blind and didn't want to post), the dealer will correct it if it can be corrected (ie. If he dealt the guy just one card and quickly realizes it, he can push it forward to the next player). If it can't be corrected (ie. He continued dealing), standard procedure is to deal it out as normal and kill that one hand only. The rest of the hand plays out as normal.

Don't forget, players don't get to agree and declare a misdeal (as may be the case in a home game). Only the dealer can declare a misdeal and players should hold onto their cards until a misdeal is declared. The dealer didn't do anything to make you throw your hands away, you simply decided to without a misdeal being declared.

So basically, it's not a misdeal, but not bc substantial action occurred. It's not a misdeal because proper procedure is to kill the errant hand rather than having a misdeal.

The last sentence should read "it's a misdeal because" (take out the "not"). Sorry, having trouble editing my original post on my iPad.

This happens so often, and inevitably, you get four players spouting off about the supposed remedy. As you note, The hand in question is killed, and play goes on. No muss no fuss. More players need to know that is the rule.

Any chance you could put this into standard English for us so we can respond intelligently?

his cupholder had garbage in it. for some reason instead of throwing it out he himself he asked the waitress to. she took it but now hasn't returned with the water he asked for

That's how I read it. But it was far too absurd, so I asked for clarification hoping that's not what he meant. We'll see what he says about it.

he truly is an anarchist ^^^

have heard mixed stories on the $2 chips

will they be disappearing in all big bet games or just 5/10 and above?

She took the cup holder, man. Gave me the water immediately tho. Had to look through a hole for like two hours.

Thanks for the clarification.

If you use your cupholder for a trash can, maybe you should empty it yourself?

She brings you yummies, that doesn't make her your cleaning lady.

Of course, if the trash was not yours then my apologies, you shouldn't have to clean up after the last slob.

Just in case you didn't notice...

At about 2:30 am there were still 51 of 52 tables running according to Bravo.

Wow!

We all knew there was a lot of demand but...

Wow!

Nice job Mike and staff, I may point out issues, but I do appreciate that you have a huge task and are doing a great job.

Looked up from my phone tonight to see two of my table mates all in and high-fiving each other. One had aces full of tens, and the other had quad tens. Whole table was celebrating hitting the mini.

Obv the guy with tens had T8. /bbv

I looked over the thread for a bit but couldn't find anything about hotels around the casino. Does anyone have info on the closest hotels and their cost.

Thanks!
