This past Wednesday evening I went to MGM for a 2/5 session after a long time and was sent to table X with no one on the list. But I decided to play at Table Y instead. A player from the other table called the floor and I moved there. Makes sense to enforce the seat assignments.
However, 10-15 mins later a new player went to another table instead of our table. Again another floor was called by same loud player to get him to our table. Then a while later, it happened yet again with a new player trying to sit in another table when ours had empty seats - training players is not easy
This time it was a different floor who was trying to accommodate everyone and ended up sending new players on the list to our table & the possible line-jumper(Dunno if he was on the list?) to his preferred table.
The system of having players tattle is not ideal and is not working out. Plus having different floors enforce the same rules differently is confusing.
Now Re- Table changes:
When I want a table change, I usually go all the way to the front to ask for table change - two folks there are PHENOMENAL. Both are respectful, attentive and walk over to me when the new seat is ready. However, I do not want to add to their workload when things are much busier or if table changes are not their responsibility. I am only there during evenings these days so I might have been lucky to get them.
I used to see other players (regulars?) go to the podium at other end and ask some floor for a seat change or stop a floor who is passing by. They get transfers this way & sometimes immediately. This is not fair and it is confusing as well. Why should non-regs walk all the way and wait while the regs get a jump on them? I tend to skip the back podium since they act busy and are not really helpful - whereas the front desk has the body language of “how can I help?”. I would go to Live if they have multiple action 2/5 tables. Unfortunately that is not the case. I did not have these issues at Live - when I played there I could ask either the back podium floor or the front desk for a table change & BOTH would be willing to help.
What exactly is the procedure for table changes at MGM?
Thanks.
