Wolosz85,

Can you clarify something for me? In the bravo description, it says that all of your games are eight handed. However, when I played there recently, I was told by one of the floor supervisors that PLO was seven handed.

When we expanded to 8 handed, we allowed that game only to continue 7 handed. Our 2/2 PLO game does run 8 handed as well as all of our Hold 'Em games.

I went last night. You now have to go through a metal detector to get in the casino.

How does that help if the guy got kidnapped in the parking lot?

Great point.

I've been here twice now and I've got to say the only time I felt like I could be in danger is the parking garage.

Love the poker room btw. Casino also nicer then I expected. Easily seems like the nicest in the area. Just a shame it's a 50 minute ride for me to Live and 15 minutes to Parx.

Hasn't the metal detector been there since it opened though?

It's possible that I walked through it without even thinking about it until I heard this story.

Monday Night there was about 40.

There was also no metal detector on the way in.

They might only use them on the weekends, which makes sense because everybody knows people only bring guns on the weekends.

Copy thanks, so it’s mini tourneys so far. I guess for bigger tournaments either fly out to vegas or wait til a series comes back at borgata

That was my first tourney there and it was a Monday Night. I've heard other nights get a lot more.

Any bicycle parking at this property? Is it fairly secure? Also what time should I expect a typical Wednesday night bounty tournament's final table to be over?

Went to Live today for the first time and just wanted to say I had a really great experience. Room is well run, and beautiful. Looking forward to going back soon.

There is a bike rack inside the ground level of the garage if you enter on 10th street!

Our evening tournaments have been ending sometime between 1am and 3am, depending on number of entrants and whether or not they chop

I'm thinking about playing the Sunday tournament tomorrow which is $320 w/$75 towards bounties.

Has anybody played on Sunday at Philly Live yet and can give me an idea about 1) player pool for a Sunday tournament and 2) what the top prizes looked like?

Thanks!

Really upset that they don't offer half time for 5 or less players. When I asked the dealer if he knew if this was a gaming commission issue he said absolutely not and we can do what we want. Nevertheless won't be back here. Parking is $25 and they don't cater to higher limit games.
