Long time reader, first time poster. Rec player - mostly PLO, played at MD Live several times and just played yesterday and today at MGM. I live in DC and for me it took 30 minutes basically door to door, arrived at the casino both days between 11:30 and 1 pm and had no issues parking. AT MD Live it normally takes me 50-60 minutes to get there. Today was much better than yesterday - the floor had it's **** together and the waitresses came by much more frequently than yesterday. However, all they have in the tea department is lipton black tea, which is not impressive. At Md Live they at least have green tea, earl grey, chamomile. Johnny, please see if you can expand your tea menu. And BTW, congratulations on a beautiful room!
The PLO 1-2 game was a lot of fun. One thing to clarify because it constantly came up in our game was how does the pot sizing deal with extra 1's and 2's. Several dealers told us that it was rounded up to the nearest 5, and then a different dealer contradicted that ruling saying that they had natural rounding so if it's 21 or 22 in the pot then that's the equivalent of 20. Finally the floor came over and confirmed that the pot is always rounded up to the nearest 5 in PLO here, so if there's $21 in the pot, then it's really $25.
Also had a sick hand today that I feel compelled to share: OTB ($500 behind) I'm dealt K
