Johnny has no obligation to post here. You have a habit of posting his Last Activity, and at this point I consider it trolling. So knock it off.

I have posted his last activity a few times. There would need to be many more times on a regular basis in order for it to be considered “A habit.“ when I have shared this information, it was not directed toward an individual. I was just keeping everyone informed, which means that I was not trolling.

You can make excuses to justify anything as anything, Just like some police officers detain or arrest people standing on a sidewalk with a camera as “suspicious,’ even if they are not breaking the law.

Well I'm telling you to stop. Feel free to bring it to the Moderation Discussion thread if you want to discuss further.

A few updates.

Old TD that was known to many of us is retiring. Heard they are planning to take not one but two TD’s that would manage the morning and evening tournaments.

Hope the new TD’s are aggressive in marketing the events and enthusiastic in trying new events.

The TACO place in the market place area which recently changed its timings (only operates in the evening now) are planning to reset. They will be opening at 11AM. I am a fan of their veggie bowl. I am happy they are operating during the day. I wrote to them in regards to this and I am assuming many others did as well.

The bathroom situation is dismal. I tried using the one opposite to their Event Center. All the units were closed for repairs. This is right in front of their Event Center and is accessed heavily, I am surprised the maintenance is taking this long to fix the same. Most of the sinks don’t operate. Half of them dispense only cold water. The napkins are out mostly. I will send another Email to their customer service and see if the situation improves.

Excellent news, thanks for sharing.

We are coming to MGM Harbor for Thanksgiving. Appreciate if anyone can provide information on the poker comp dollar earned (2-5 table). Can I use it for room or just food only like MGM Springfield? Do I need to do transfer or get a paper voucher, something like that? Can I use my Borgata comp here?

Do players get comp rooms (easily)? I reserved three weekend nights comp rooms, but that is based on my Borgata poker play (which I am offered comp room any date of the week). I only been to National Harbor once when it first opened and played very little.

$2/hour poker comps. It can only be used for food. It is earned in a separate account from poker comps at other MGM properties and separate from regular casino comps. You have to go to the superviser stand in the back of the room and have them transfer comps to your card to be presented at the restaurant. It's like the same process at other MGM properties except no paper voucher, just transfer of money to your card which needs to be used within 24 hrs at the food place you specify. Or if you order from one of the food attendants at your poker table they do all of that for you.

I don't believe you'll get any special hotel room deals at MGMNH from playing poker there.

Disappointing

What is the difference between the new lucky table promo and the one that's been running for years?

It's basically a high hand promo but the whole table gets paid. Monday will be the last time they ever do it.

How can you be sure that they will never ever do it again?

This is the same reason the bad beat jackpot is inherently unfair and subsidizes 4/8 limit players who have a higher chance of hitting it. Not to mention BBJ funds going to fund tournament guarantees that miss.

Is there any prohibition against playing 4-8 limit?

I suspect that the 4/8 tables get more hands in per down, and therefore likely drop more $ into the jackpot than an equivalent 1/3 table. So yes - more likely to hit it there, but perhaps also paying more in on a per-hour basis?

As someone said - the choice is yours which game to play at any given time. #votewithyourfeet

No. More players per hand (and more going to showdown) means less hands/down. Plus all the arguing. The 4/8 BBJ advantage is pretty negligible and not worth being bothered over.

This is incorrect!

Tournaments have their own jackpot drop from each entry. So, the GTD’s are funded by the Tournament jackpot.

The jackpot drop’s for cash games is separate and funds the cash game promotions and BBJ.

Would love to see real data to validate which opinion is correct... poker room managers have such data!

I agree on the 4/8 players per hand issue - which could contribute to more HHs being hit there as well (A 3- or 4-bet at 1/3 may scare away the rando 4-6 suited players who are always calling to see flop on 4/8.)

Mightn't the tanking/decision making at 1/3 might offset the time spent on more players acting?

The other data point for this conclusion is that IIRC they used to pay less to the 4/8 table HH winners up at Live than the other tables, presumably due to this effect (since poker room managers have the data.)

Here are some data:


There’s more. But I will let you look for it.

Re: 4/8 L vs 1/3 NL

Any argument for the limit game’s contributions, fairness of their eligibility/participation in the BBJ is negated by the fact that there are 20-30 more 1/3 NL games going at any given time. Not to mention it’s mostly homeless people who smell like warm garbage.

They should have their own thing.

So, all that data might be helpful for a completely different question, but not for the issue I was discussing re: ROI of the BBJ at 4/8 vs. 1/3. If you happen to find myriad posts regarding actual data on that issue, I'd still be interested in it. But if not, thanks anyway!

Repeated here to save your scroll finger:

The tournament information shown on this Twitter post:

https://twitter.com/MGMNH_Poker/stat...88198963187712

Says that the 2017 TDA rules will be used. The TDA rules were updated several months ago in 2019. This seems odd, considering that JG is on the TDA Board. Why is MGMNH still using rules from 2 1/2 years ago in their Tournaments?

Or did someone forget to update the tournament information to state 2019 instead of 2017?

The dealers were confirming that Sunday (Dec 8th) would be a crazy day at MGM.


With their Anniversary promotions to get a seat it is better to reach there by 8AM.

Bravo says the promos run 9:15am until 4:14am...

Is that correct? Really running the promo into the early hours past midnight?
