I guess there are still some glitches in the system, but this one I can't let slide

Here is what just happened:

Guy goes all in...gets 3 callers...flop comes to all in flips his hand to the guy next to him who is in the hand. Dealer stops the action and calls a supervisor. The supervisor.comes over and the dealer tells him what happened. His ruling is that we ( the other players at the table) should have been paying attention and he's not gonna make the player flip his hand even though the dealer saw it and at least 2 players on the same.side of the table saw it. We complained to him that it was unfair since we.could not see his hand on the other side of the table and he changed the ruling....

Seriously??? A player shows his hand in the middle and your response is we should pay attention?

Yes, please, I wouldn't make a mess and then act all weird about it. Ugh, and I would have reached my hand in there and threw it out but there was a bandaid wrapper in there. Like wtf.

Mike,

Talked with several dealers and got mixed answers. Are they lobbying people for just leaving the table (ie bathroom breaks, etc.) or once they miss the blinds. Most places will put a person in the lobby-not record their bravo time only once a missed blind has occurred. Any thoughts?

I've had both happen to me and have been trying to get clarification on the official policy. Paul had stated that it was once you left the table for any reason, but other floor have not been consistent.

Thanks.

Ordered a bow of wonton noodle using comp $ and it worked. Good noodle with 6 meaty and tasty wontons. Just perfect for a late night snack.

Mike,

Can you spread at least 2/2 PLO on a Sat.? I was # 16 on the waitlist and waited for 4 hrs to be seated. Only 1 2/2 was running around 2:30 PM. They didn't open another 2/2 (table 14) til 6:30 b/c there were these 2 guys playing heads-up for at least an hour at this table until it breaks. Good thing I have my 2/5 game going right beside it or else I'd probably have gone home.

How can 2 guys occupied 1 table for so long?

Thanks.

Mike,

I just wanted to come on and compliment you and the staff. I was there last weekend and again this weekend. I believe the staff was much better at getting people seated as compared to last weekend. While there are still some slip ups it seemed and looked to run much smoother to get seated. The table I was at was only short handed one time for about 10 minutes in a twelve hour time frame.

Great job.

There's a hotel right across the mall b/c I've seen a shuttle taking people there. I Think the the hotel is located on the left side right before you make a left turn on Pro Bass drive as you exit from the main entrance of the casino. I think is call Fairfield not 100% sure.

Bet the turn and river check, check. Out of position must show first not aggressor? This is different from CT.

one reason of many why I don't like the new shufflers.

This doesn't appear to have been mentioned yet, and I know the team is looking to expand the food offerings soon, but worth keeping in mind as new options are added:

I was surprised to notice how few vegetarian options there currently are. From what I can tell, the only vegetarian food one can get in the poker room is a cheese pizza, nachos, or some sort of hummus appetizer from Phillips, and, surprisingly, zero (I think?) items from the noodle bar.

yeah, I noiticed only 1 2/2 plo all afternoon. thought wtf? the waitlist wasn't moving.
but there was like 3 5-5 plo tables?!

then they announced a 2nd table around 7pm. but heard there were no shows and they played short handed for a while??

as for the 2guys, was it high stakes? $ rules

That's standard poker rules. CT is the odd ball.

I think they were playing 10/25 as I watched them played couple hands for curiosity. Did see a couple preflop at $ 125 so must be a higher game.

As for the 2/2, the show up was slower b/c people can only buy-in 500 max so I and other have to get in line and cash out and therefore, the seating took longer. We did play 8 handed for at least an hr before they filled the remaining 1 empty seat despite 52 on the 2/2 waitlist. Go figure....

Mike,

I have a question about the new shufflers... Is there any kind of data connection cord that connects to them like the bravo screen?

There were conspiracy theories that someone could hack the shuffler and arrange the deck. I told them theres probably only power connected to the units, and no data connection (i.e. a LAN cord). Also just watch the dealer cut the deck and see if hes masterfully setting it.

Yea they are very inconsistant I have went to the bathroom after I muck pre flop just to blow my nose, get back to table before hand is over and I have been lobbied. I have also seen some dealers quickly lobby a player as soon as they get up and forget get to change it when they sit back down. I guess we just have to pay attention.

The other night playing 4-8 a guy gets up to go to dinner and leaves his chips. After about 45 minutes, somebody asked when he will be picked up. The dealer stated that a player has 1 hour to go to dinner regardless of the number of blinds he has missed. This does not seem right. I have heard of a dinner list, but I have never heard of a player being allowed to leave for that long, especially with a long waitlist. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the dealer was not clear on what the rule is.

Every casino that I can remember hearing the rules on, says that everytime a new dealer comes in and the person is not present, you throw him a button. If a dealer sits down and sees two button already there, time is up. So you have 1-1.5 hours depending where in a down you leave.

Ive never heard of it being based on the # of blinds missed.

The first few days I noticed a little inconsistency. Some lobbying if a person is not present during the hand (didnt get dealt in) and some waiting for them to miss the blind.

I put in a long shift yesterday (12hrs) and only saw the latter however.

I am also a vegetarian and was shocked the noodles place didn't have a single veggie option as well, however they will customize any order. So I have been getting Singapore rice noodles with no shrimp or pork and extra veggies. I haven't bothered with others, but they said they can do any of them veggie. Don't expect special pricing or anything.

theres no lan/Ethernet/wireless on the shufflers.
ie: no remote access at md live

even if u managed to crawl underneath an empty table un-noticed and gain access to the control panel, good luck in cracking the encryption on the shufflers to program the decks for a bad beat.

I'm sure there is nothing that can be done about this but I figure it is worth mentioning. I sat at 4 different tables of 2/5 yesterday. Every table had multiple regs constantly showing cards to their friends when folding. Multiple times they were discussing what the "Mark" had while at least one of them was in the hand. Multiple times I saw 2 regs call a short stacks pre flop all in and then check it all the way down. It all seemed like too many coincidences and it made me uncomfortable.

I've played 5 other times and never noticed this before. I still did alright last night but it was clearly bothering the newer players as well and caused me to leave earlier than I had planned.

Many times I am sitting down in a game waiting for a seat to open in my preferred game.

Hey guys, just wanted to make management aware about an issue with the iPhone-looking screens that accompany these new shufflers. When a dealer is creating a fold pile and a portion of a folded card is placed on top of the screen, the reflection of the card on the screen can sometimes be seen depending on what seat you are in/the angle you are sitting at. Early this morning, it was clear to me and another player that there was an 8c in the muck.

Hopefully dealers can be made aware of this so when they're creating their fold piles they are conscious not to let any portion of the cards lay on top of the shuffler's screen.

Thats easy when they show there card to there friend you make the dealer show the cards to the whole table, it kept going on cause you allowed it to.

I think the connection is wireless. ;-)

You think no one who lives near ML is able to break encryption algorithms? That's interesting.
