If its such a big event that it clears out your dealer ranks, causes them to basically pre-announce they would be cutting work because they dont like how they aren't paid (allegedly, I have no idea) and then leaves hundreds of people on the list - maybe tell people about it?
Honest to god its small things like this that drive people crazy Johnny. And I know you dont care, I know you dont *have* to care. You would much rather just troll people here now, your room is full, you dont have to care. Fine. I get it. But I follow both MGM NH Twitter accounts and didnt see one single mention of this event. And the thing is, whoever runs your social media account does a great job of providing tournament updates. There were multiple/daily updates on the Winter Poker Open and not ONE on this *that I remember*.
"Just a reminder guys, massive Chance for Life charity poker tournament tomorrow, please expect longer than usual waits for cash games while the tournament is running. Dealer backups will be arriving at 4p". Done.

Keep it from happening in the future. We
