MGM National Harbor Resort & Casino (Oxon Hill, MD); FAQ in OP - Page 186 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Tournament calendar shows a 8/18 Saturday satellite with two $2,700 seats guaranteed. The PPO just ended. Is there a tournament that’s actually taking place or is this a satellite to some other event?

Or maybe it is a mistake.

Which would be option number 1... the tournament currently listed is a mistake and the actual tourney is whatever they run during Saturday’s normally

They have been contacted. We await a solution.

We made the decision not to activate the machines. That area will soon be redone. Also working on a bathroom solution.

I have two quick questions about the rules at MGM. Suppose that it is heads up on the river and villain checks and hero checks. Hero announces that he has two pair, but hasn't shown his cards. Upon hearing this, villain mucks his cards. Is the hero required to show his hand or not? What if someone else at the table, other than the villain, says they want to see the hero's cards. Does the hero have to show his cards in that case? I have heard it argued both ways. Thanks in advance for your help.

What made you decide that?
What changed since you moved upstairs?

That's ok. Just the impetus I needed to break my caffeine addiction.

Will the water refilling station remain? I'd like to remain addicted to water.

Also, I'd be happy to tip foodrunners to go downstairs for food. As it stands, I just go myself. I understand if you're trying to get all of us to walk downstairs for the exercise. God knows we need it.

Bravo says that no poker games are running at this time.

Why and when did the casino close?

I got there around 9; not sure of the details but I assumed it was storm related.
Lights and elevators were on but all screens, bravo, AC etc. were down across the casino.

As the thin haze of burning cheese descended on the high limit area and forced two games to move, I couldnt help but wonder if you're going to wait until somebody actually passes out before addressing the issue of fumes affecting players and staff. Three out of nine players developed coughs during the game. The newly formed must move fled to an empty table as far from the high limit area as possible.

The smell is unpalatable. The profuse coughing induced by the fume cloud is a real problem.

This should be an easy one. C'mon.

Here's last year's structure sheet. Imagine it'll be very similar.

That being said, maintenance of it is poor. Paper towels and soap are frequently empty, and the hand dryers are basically worthless.

I think the hand dryers are great, but their location is ridiculous. With only 3 sinks, having the hand dryers next to the sink means you’re typically either still blocking the sink from the guy behind you or you’re standing way too close to the next guy while blowing the water off your hands onto him.
