Any chance in the foreesable future of implementing some kind of comp/reward type thing? I played 261 hours of cash last month at pbkc [sick brag lol] and had that been played at other places i would have earned something as most places do have some kind of comp thing in place.Im not saying i would go play somewhere else just because of that, but it def would be awesome to have more incentives to play at pbkc.

Oh, they'll go to a comp system...



after they bump it to 6+2 with a min 3 rake.

I created a new thread about the jackpot drop so we are not cluttering this thread. Sorry for the hijack, but Noah, please consider switching how you distribute the jackpot money.

If the room never took rake our when they gave a ticket and offered to buy back the ticket that it would be ok. The fact that when players try to sell these tickets they sell them at a discount is clear evidence that in no way is the room returning the full fungible value of the jackpot to the players, and its even worse if they take rake.

At a minimum someone (wish I had time) should get some kind of petition to the State to enforce the rules - thousands of players saying that the rooms are not returning all the jackpot funds would have an impact I think.

If you really want to go for it - this might make a good class action lawsuit.

Fisherfolk,

Let me try to give a little background on this subject.

First and foremost, the PBKC were one of very few facilities to support giving 100 percent of the jackpot monies back to the players. Some properties suggested a withholding for accounting costs incurred.

At no time is a prize or giveaway awarded at the kennel club without full documentation of the award including the full value of the item.

A tournament ticket that would cost a player $550 at the window is worth exactly $550. That is the actual value. When we give away tv's and other misc. items, we fight for the best price and haggle to no end.

To give you an idea about how serious about this we are: We purchased many TV's and other electronics for a giveaway last year. We received points from the local Best Buy store for our purchases. The points that were received were used to get more items to give directly back to the players. Nothing was retained by PBKC.

Please rest assured that we are audited by the state of Florida and have an impeccable record. As for the properties regulated by the Indian Gaming tribes, they are not regulated.

I hope this alleviates some of your concerns.

Take care,

noah

We are close to getting this done. With no further cost to the players.

We appreciate consistent play and feel you should be awarded for keeping the tables full.

Be on the lookout!

Take care,

Noah

AWESOME!! That would really be great and would be an incentive for others as well.

That would be outstanding. Thanks, Noah.

I hope you leave the pit area the way it is. I like the way comps are currently done there, and I'm sure most of the higher limit players would agree

Figured I'll share some brief cliffnotes of my experience at the PBKC as I wait for my plane. I played there a couple days ago for about 6 hours and managed to enjoy myself despite a super sick run of bad beats and suckouts.

My experience was contrary to most posters ITT. FWIW I haven't been to many casinos, so take that into consideration.

I found the chairs comfortable and the felts clean (disclaimer: I'm the type of person that can be comfortable sleeping on a floor and sitting on a folding chair). For a Saturday night my 2/5NL game wasn't very soft (still anyone that can beat 25nl online has a huge edge), but regulars at the table noted that many big fish were sitting at the 5/10NL. I can't personally confirm that as I'm currently under-rolled for 5/10 thanks to FTP. The atmosphere was fun and the players and floor were VERY friendly. In fact, one player even bought me a beer after I lost a full house to a 2 card straight flush (drinks are not comped).

As for the facility, meh. I've never before seen a dog race, so watching the Greyhounds race around the track was pretty cool. The poker room was cramped and a little dirty, but it's not bad by any means, so man-up and you'll be fine. Can't think of much else. The PBKC has a good bathroom to do coke in (disclaimer: I did not do coke in the PBKC bathroom). Parking is easy and convenient. I got seated fairly quickly - they started a new table when the waiting list for 2/5NL reached 11 players. Overall, it's pretty good. Certainly worth going to instead of driving a long way south to play poker at a different casino.

+1 to the floor/staff for being friendly. The two hosts who mostly work during the day taking names and seating people [cant say names but initials are M and C lol] always automatically put my name on the list when i walk in and treat me 1st class.The floor people and pbkc managers are always willing to listen to what you have to say even if they are in the office.

Can I exchange my ticket for $$$?

If not, it is only worth what I can sell it for....less than face valve. Just give out cash.

40 minute levels 10 K in chips.

If they gave out CASH they could not take the rake on the TICKET they give you...in the end - they are profiting from the Jackpot pool...PERIOD.

Should give cash and if the player wants to play it - then let them buy in. Otherwise just a way to skim off money from the Jackpot.

***PS - they are not the only ones - the Isle has recently begun the same "TICKET" prizes to skim the pool as well.

I talked to Noah a few days ago at the club and he suggested that we have a tourny for the posters here and that we could come up with our own structure.Would probably end up being like a sng but would be fun and interesting. If theres any interest on playing and/or structure ideas please post it here.

Do the $5k SNG's still run?

I'm down! I only know how to play NLH though and I only have the BR for $200 or less buyins!

wasn't that a 1 time thing?

Great! Yea hopefully we can get at least 10 and $200 and under i think would be best [even $100 tbh]. I'll talk to a few regs at the kennel club and get them to start posting in the thread so they can become "eligible" to the play the 2+2 tourny. Btw it was nice meeting you the other night--we have def played together before.

$100 would be perfect for me

Nice meeting you too. Almost sat at your table a few nights ago, but id figured id leave ya alone with the fishies

If this sng doesn't hurt your bankroll then you're not doing it right

Btw I'm looking to buy 3 $550 tickets at discount. Shoot me a PM

I knew of one for sure, and Willie contacted me a month or two later about another one but I was in Vegas. I didn't know if I was dropped from the list or if they weren't being run anymore.

I only play at the Kennel club once in awhile, cause I live closer to Ft. Pierce, but I'll play a Sit N Go. $100 is good 7-9 max.

Just wondering about the 2/5, 5/10+ action regularly? Min/max buy?

How deep do the games normally play? And how is the rake structure?

Thanks in advance.
