Trans bridge is 30 and you get a 45 voucher so the trip is already free basically. To my knowledge it's the only that leaves from port authority, the others leave from China town and flushing

I guess I am ******ed but I put $45 credit on Wheel of Fortune $1 machine. I pulled the lever 45 times and lost every single one, so I got nothing back.

Variance. Not sure of the exact numbers but I'm guessing the slots at sands are at worst 85% return. You used to be able to Play VP/video bj/roulette which you could profit on pretty easily with the bonus but they banned that because all the China town riders were abusing the system to make a living.

the one time I took the bus I cashed out a ticket on every winning spin. that was the way I was told to do it.

its like walking from PABT to columbus circle. Not close, but doable. I think the hotel has a shuttle give them a call to ask them.

It's a busy street, not that it means your inevitably safe tho.

Yes, cash out after each win from the promo dollars. I did this today and won $35.25 back of the $45 giving me a "free" $30 bus ride from the PABT. The $5.25 paid for breakfast -- an egg and cheese on a bagel -- at Mo's.

Note that you cannot play the bus comp dollars on the "poker slot machine" games (as pointed out above), such as Jacks or Better. I tried and originally thought the $45 was not put on the card. The staff confirmed that the promo credits do not work on them.

Are there any tournaments this week? I understand there are no tournaments tomorrow because of carpet change, but poker calendar is blank for Sept 1-4 also. Is this correct?

Damn, thanks. I don't know if it makes sense to go to Sands although the bad beat at $430k makes it a little tempting.

Played a solid session of 1/2NL yesterday, crushed it for about $2700 in a little under 8hrs, flopping & rivering nut straights and getting paid off. Seated at the table was my friend who hit largest bbj @ Sands a few Summers ago when it was over $600K and recently got a table share when it was about $350K so I thought for sure we would hit it. Midway through the session, a regular comes over looking distraught. He had pocket 4's and folded preflop to a $10 bet, if he would have called $10, the bad beat would have it and he would have gotten the big part. I think he's on suicide watch now. How do you NOT call $10 preflop with lots key pair, knowing that bbj is so high????

How does one person hit two BBJs? Does he have a horseshoe permanently installed to his head or something?

It's so sick how hundreds of thousands of dollars stolen by the BBJ go to like 1-5 people and it never re enters the poker economy. So gross.

Sunday & Monday: $500 HOT SEAT every hour 2pm to 8pm

Looking forward to playing this weekend, first time in a month. Promos + BBJ should bring in overflow crowds.

Planning to get there late Saturday morn.

yeah they do use quality cards. I was at the trop for a party a few months ago and I couldn't believe how cheap and paper thin those cards felt compared to what I'm used to.

Who talks like that in a live cash game? Blinds are irrelevant in NL poker.

Oh no this is after the hand. Felt it would have been disrespectful to the other player to take the picture right at showdown.

which player snap called you? Don't mention their name just say the big mouth guy in the yankees cap, the young asian with black hair, the lady next to you, etc. (names are not allowed)

Can you give the hand history?

Um, descriptions like that aren't allowed either. The whole point of the privacy rule is so that you do not know who the individuals in a post are. LCP isn't a gossip forum.
