We are always working to better the room and no rule is set in stone.

We want to spread games that players can beat. As you know, after a tip and rake a 2/4 game because very difficult to win in consistanty. That being said, you may see a 3/6 game in the future but I would hope to never see a 2/4 game.

As of right now no. I think they are essential for poker players so I am pulling for them to be added to the tournament space available.

ty for replies garrett

cash boxes would be a great addition imo-

would be nice to walk back and forth from the ballparks and places on N. Shore Dr w/o worrying about the thousands of dollhairs in your pocket/sock.

Ty for the replies G.

I appreciate you bringing it to your boss. 150 big blinds I think wld be good. 5 or so years ago, the norm in most games was 100bb max. Any more than that was just about unheard of then. As the years have passed, things have changed a bit and switched to deeper stacked play. I'm not 100%, but I would say 100bb max BI in Nlhe cash games are very rare anymore. amirite?


Yes of course I understand that not all requests can be granted.
It's good to hear that The Rivers will be doing every they can to cater to the players needs. As long as this stays this way, I won't be playing anywhere else.

Keep up the good work Garett!

that is good news. however in wheeling they used to have 3/6 and 5/10 once in a while, but the limit games there ended up degenerating to pretty much 2/4 only after a while (I'm guessing this is partially due to the presence of the jackpot - 2/4 offers the "cheapest" chance at the jackpot per se), so I am hoping that you're right!!

IMO the swings would be higher in the 2/4 "no fold em hold em game"!

At the Meadows the other night they were running a 2/4 Omaha game...please give me one reason to ever not pay see a showdown in that game?? Maybe if you're dealt 4 of a kind??

I've found 100-150BB to be fairly standard.

Would there be a month fee associate? How would those work exactly? I'd 100% get one but what would keep every single "player" from getting one?

I cannot friggin believe that still $40 short! lol

I can think of a few reasons taken from the conversation above

- Players that rarely make that walk back to the cash cage
- fees associated with ownership of said box
- most players are playing for "play" money and are not looking to amass any substantial bank roll
- The number of people that are parked in the lot and don't mind driving through those questionable areas

... the list goes on.

I also thought the play was better than a typical 2/4 game while still not good play.

I would say alot of places these days are 150bbs+

The point I was making was it's more of a "deeper" stacked game in 2010

Thinking of going next week. Are the waits still very long during the evening?

i think i read somewhere itt that plo ran last week, will someone knowledgeable tell me what the chances of it running tonight are?

I'd say pretty good - it ran last night from 7pm until at least 11pm (when I left).

Very High. PLO games have been running daily since we opened.

I've been there everyday but 2 since the 8th. On an average I played about 4-5 hours/day, all NLHE, mostly 1/3 and few sessions of 2/5. The quality of play has just been down right so bad a high % of the time, I feel like I'm literally giving away $ if I miss a day.

Have a lot of others experienced the same thing? If so, how are you adjusting your game to this type of overall play(if any at all)?




Also, it's a nice change up to be playing with brand new chips.
For those of who haven't made it just yet, here's a look at the new chips.

Also, the $25 chip is more of a baby blue color rather than a green.
I'm curious as to how/who make these little decisions.





Lastly, as some of you know, the Poker Room has not yet been able to issue Players Cards. They are set up to be able to do this, but apparently haven't been shown how to make them. Last night, one floor was under the impression that they were now set up to do this right at the desk and asked for a players ID to issue him a card. I ended up leaving before the floor came back so I'm assuming you now can get your cards right there in the room, which makes it super-convenient for all players.

I've been seeing a lot more limped pots with a variety of cards because the play has been so transparent and in the event I hit, the players have always been paying off without ever noticing that the flush or straight possibility was out there. Also, a lot of overplay of top-pair, so I'll often float a lot of flops with top or bottom pair.

This is incorrect. We are supposed to be set up to be able to make the cards. All of the equipment needed to create the cards has not been installed.

I was just wondering if anyone knows how much poker dealers are making in tips per night? I'm from California thinking of making a huge career change. I would greatly appreciate if anyone can give me a good idea of how much they make. Thanks!!!!

I just sucked it up and waited in the long line @ Player Rewards and grabbed one but for people that haven't received theirs, Thank you very much for the clarification Garrett.

Keep up the good work! All things considered, you guys have really done a good job in the first week+! Well deserved!

That was a clarification?!!??

I'm afraid that I need even more clarification, because I'm not smart enough to understand the difference between the poker room being able to make the cards but not create them, and being able to create the cards but not make them. Hello??

All I know is that people have told me that the line for cards at the Player's Club is 2-3 hrs. I played the Meadows again last night, until I can get to the Rivers early enough so that I can have a card created and made! Or just created? Or just made?
