Lol I was thinking the same thing.

Had my first trip to Sugarhouse on Saturday. I was very pleasantly surprised.

The room seemed fairly well run and the dealers were fast and competent. Action was great and the high hand every 20 minutes was probably the best promotion i've seen anywhere.

With the valet right outside and the food inside the main casino being pretty good for the price, I can definitely say I look forward to going back and that this was a really good experience.

My only complaint - That room is ice cold. Bring a jacket.

Is it true that each Saturday in September will feature the same 20 minute high hand like the one from this past Saturday???

Walked in and immediately to the cage i go (as usual). Peep the room, 1 table seems a comfy fit with 3 seats open. While walking back to the desk, I confirm said tables juiciness upon thinking about it. With no list, I ask a suit kindly if the table I was salivating over was the stake I am unfortunately stuck playing. He says yes and I ask if I may sit there. He looks curiously across the kinda-crowded-not-really room and says yea let me see where I can put you..

I respond puzzled as I made him aware there were three seats open at my honey hole and this is his response....

For some crazy reason I didnt need to hear what was coming.

Disappoint.

Edit...

His ending was something like..

Please dont morph into another Hialeah

Edit,Edit..in all fairness, I like the place a lot

I have been told it is not true. Will be slumming it on Saturday at the Chester. So disappointed as last Saturday was great!

I have no idea what sugar house is thinking they did have the promotion for 20min high hands each Saturday for the month of September but now this STUPID win with straight or better took over

Most likely trying to dump promo money on the regulars since this type of promo you get way more chances to win the more you play.

Last Saturday was the first weekend night that sugarhouse had more tables going than Chester since Chester started their 200k high hand promo.

Not sure why they wouldn't do it every Saturday as it pretty much pays for itself if they keep it at 250 each 20 mins.

Even right now it is 11-7 tables in favor of Chester.

Oh well

Brokenmind/Reefmaster – Thank-you for the posts. I was here last Saturday on the floor, it was a great turn out. I’m happy to hear you liked it! We submitted to the PGCB to run it the one day – September 12th. As with our promotions – the ones that are well received usually keep coming back! So we appreciate your feedback. Keep it coming! We do have a Tuesday High Hand going all month with $200 every 30 minutes 4:00pm – 11:00pm and the Overnight High Hand – Monday – Thursday through October 2nd. Thank-you! Raye

Thanks for the reply. I think most players that are not regulars would prefer weekend promotions and not the middle of the night promotions.

That being said, I would come out for the Tuesday HH, but it is impossible due to work. That is an entire month of promotions gone since you have it every Tuesday.

I am guessing you are trying to drum up biz for your slowest night, but if that is not the case and you set something up for October, perhaps you could stagger it each week so that one week it is Tuesday, the next week is Wed, the next week back to Tuesday and then finish with another Wednesday.

But again, weekends are the best, at least for me. Although I like the room (even with the overpriced Fiji), it doesn't make sense to go to a room with no promo when the other rooms have them on the weekend. IMO of course, but I know I am not alone.

Any update on new building and poker room?

how many runners usually on tonights tournament?

I'm glad you asked. We cancelled tonight's 7pm tournament due to the drawing. We posted it on Bravo but I also wanted to let you guys know on 2 + 2. Normally, we get 6-7-8 tables. With the drawing we just can't do both. Raye

Yes! While I can't release the exact dates (anything can happen with construction!) The building should be ready by the end of 2015. The poker room might be ready a short time afterward. We will be posting blue prints and pictures in the current poker room this weekend for you to view. Raye

So if I haven't played there this week there is little point in me coming tonight?

Instead of straight or better for the promotion could you guys consider win the hand at any time with 27,83,94 gain entry or win with a pair of fours(44<) or worse on the river gain entry, no chops &5 player min at table? There were moments where I had a qualified hand but did not wish to show and I feel that doing it the opposite way would actually give players a opportunity to work for an entry.

1. Make up your mind. Do you want great promos like splash the pot and high hands or do you want a variation of what you just called STUPID?

While your idea might get people to bluff more, high hands are still better.

2. I hate your idea for the promo and any promo where you have to spend multiple days and nights gaining entries and then also have to be there to collect just in case they call your name.

IMO of course

I don't want the promotion at all but if they keep it I would prefer for it to be with weaker hands then straight or better.

I agree the promo showing pocket pairs, str8s, etc in order to qualify gives too much info away to players that fold to you.

Can anyone recommend an inexpensive or nearby hotel to Sugarhouse? Want to visit w/o a car this week.

(sorry if I missed it earlier in the thread) thanks.
