Rivers Casino (Des Plaines, IL) - Page 42 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

i saw that nonsense between you and ho the other day, where in a big pot you tabled your hand and a card fell on the floor, and he tried to claim you threw it off the table and that your hand was dead. obv no one agreed with him, including the floor.

Oh that was someone on here? I was at the next table to that, did you see the player that lost the hand went and got his casino host and brought them up to the poker room to see if they could sort it out LOL.

Argument broke out at my table as if the casino really cared about the player who lost the hand or not, someone claimed "even if he lost $100k a month they wouldn't give a **** about him", of course that is hilariously LOL.

Does anyone else find that the player pool at rivers is ass right now? I only play 1/3 so I assume it’s limited to just those games but man the last 3 times I’ve been Im sitting next to people who are either verbally antagonistic and looking for some kind of argument or just mean mugging everyone at the table like theyre playing for their life savings of 300 dollars. I can only recall 2 times where everyone was chatting **** and laughing the whole the time but recently it’s been just boring and uncomfortable.

I think this is a sort of 'Spring' thing each year. Lots of Recs don't play as much when the weather gets better and then there's that Tax Return money that is already gone too. You also have Players who are going to head to LV in June/July for the WSOP playing a bit less, saving their bankroll for that trip. When all of this happens at the same time you are going to be left with a higher percentage of Players who can't afford LV trips, so their radius is much smaller, especially at whatever is the lowest stake in the room.

Recs play less in warm weather. Also its wsop time so less people there and recs saving their time and money for that.

E.g its 11pm but they need to send dealers home at 0000. There's full 22 tables but they only have enough for 20 tables. They will stop calling people for 1-3/2-5 until they can break two tables so there'll be like up to 8 seats open across various 1-3 games but no names get called.

9 seats open --> break a table.
So being 1st on the list is really an invisible 10th on the list.

This past friday, I saw them break two games of 1-3 /2-5 before midnight while the lists were massive.

This happened to me tonight. At 10:20 I was next on the list(after waiting an hour) Then the list stopped moving. Apparently they were breaking two or theee tables. At 11:00 I was now 4th on the list somehow. I stood there thinking I was next up for an almost an hour. To make matters worse, they seemed to be quietly seating people they were friendly with.

I probably wont go back to rivers unless I have no other options
