I heard red dragon is spreading green chip limit omaha and draw games.. that's just crazy talk right?

whats crazy is people still want to play those games. fixed limit omaha needs to hurry up and die off. make all omaha and draw pot limit and no limit and ill join in someday when im in town

Red Dragon has been occasionally spreading mid to high stakes mix games for months now. Not that we needed a reason to keep it fixed limit but if it’ll keep TBC out of the game that’s just a bonus.

After reading some of the blow back from my low rating of Muck dealers I went back yesterday to give the room another shot. I can honestly say they were even worse than I remembered. But that’s not even what really concerns me. The fact that you can get chips at the table but you have to walk through 150ft of a smoky maze to cash out at the main cage is a disgrace and reason enough never to play there. Good riddance to that entire place.

Is this because the poker room is still in a temporary place? Club Galaxy or whatever its called. If so, anyone have details on when the "new room" opens?

Can you be a little more specific about what is so bad about the dealers? At the end of the day, unless there are egregious mistakes that cost players money, I think a lot of dealer preference is pretty subjective. What was so bad about the dealers? Was it one in particular? Or were they just universally offensive?

As for what really concerns you, to be fair, this is a temporary arrangement while the new room is being built. Yes, it isn't optimal and can be annoying. That being said, I think you're exaggerating a bit.
First, you can color up at the poker podium so you don't have to carry racks. I color up for blacks/green before I head out so I don't have to carry racks of red through the casino. A pocket full of blacks/greens is pretty easy to manage. Also, the main cage is on the way out. It's not at all out of the way - It's in between the temporary room and Door 3 (or 4) which are the only doors that are open right now. So sure, as I said, it's not optimal and I'll even say it's unpleasant. But your reaction seems a little over the top.

@PokerLM
Yes, it's because they are still in the temporary location. The latest news is that the new room will be open in September. I interpret that as really meaning October, but hopefully I'm wrong. The new room will be upstairs and have a direct entrance from the parking garage - no need to set foot in the casino at all. This will be very nice. I do wonder, however, how this will impact food service (which is, to be diplomatic about it, subpar).

Boy we seem to disagree on so much here we could probably go back and forth forever. Let’s not. My issues w Muck aren’t personal so this will be the last I mention of it.

1) I played O/8 for 2hrs and of the 4 dealers who were in the box not a one excelled at following the action and keeping the game moving. One had to be reminded that both blinds have to be posted when missed(tried taking just the big), another attempted to muck my tabled nut low when I was due 1/4 of the pot because he was distracted talking golf w one of the regs.

2) My issue w cashing out isn’t w the carrying of chips(lol). I usually lose ha. My issue is standing in a smoky line w a bunch crusty pit degens when we shouldn’t have to.

3) This “temporary “ excuse is just flat out weak. This temp room has been in operation for At Least 6 months. At a certain point you have to just figure it out. If they can exchange my money for chips then u should be able to exchange my chips for money. See how that works?

4) And just prove how much we’re in disagreement I have to say the excellent service I received from the waitstaff was the silver lining on session lol.

One more month.

What's the rake like at Caribbean vs Red Dragon vs Tulalip, and how often are they spreading PLO and NLH (spread w/e)?

Can't find any transparent info. Are they all comparable in cash?

Since starting the weekday noon to 6pm hh omaha promo I've seen the game die after hh is over multiple times. Died today after 7pm.

When the hh promo was m/w/f noon to 8pm i don't recall the o8 games ever dying once the monte carlo board kicked in.

Executive summary: The promo chasing retiree crowd ain't loyal.

/me vomits

Pretty much.

PLO in Dragon doesn't drop jackpot.

Does anyone know what became of the 5/10/25 PLO at Tulalip? It doesn't seem to run anymore, did it move?

Can ya blame them? Paying 4+3 for a 4/8 limit game means ya gotta try to eek as much back in promo as you can to beat the game.

I got chance to visit seattle and play this room and I liked it. The holdem promo was definitely a great value even at $250. I found the action in the 1/3, 3/5 and 20/40 game all to be decent.

I'm now quite jealous of anyone who lives nearby and has the chance at $500 every 15 mins during the afternoon.

Seems like a lost cause for anyone playing 4/8 even if the rake+jp is only 3+2.

But then again, if 3/6 and 4/8 limits aren't filled with delusional individuals who think they can beat the game, there would be no game.

Will be in Seattle for the first time for Labor Day. When/where would I be most likely to find an O8 or Stud game?

Also, I’m fairly likely to have Thursday afternoon some free time Thursday afternoon. Which room will be busiest/give me the best game selection?

Thanks in advance!

Lol stud

I beat 4/8 for many years when it was 3+2 and I was over-tipping because I worked in the industry so... prob still beatable.

Beating 4/8 is a beat in itself.

I didn't think I need to elaborate that.

It’s amazing how much fortune, Fortune Poker room has had by the all of the other nearest poker rooms imploding. Snoq and Mucks downfall have been well documented but now rumor has it Carribean is soon to be taken over by new ownership and all the employees are disgruntled as hell. They’re now also dropping 4+4. I’d honestly rather just go play in the pit than pay that rake for those small of games.

Mostly false rumor.

Muck was definitely losing players especially the NL pool to Fortune, but it is pretty much the only room directly affected by Fortune.

Sno was on its way out for a long time - allowing non-tribal, not just Fortune, to spread bigger game was just the final dagger.

Caribbean had always intended to operate as a small room and was never in direct competition with Fortune.

Caribbean and Fortune do not share the same player pool, except certain days in which 5/10 runs in Caribbean, and it's mostly result of Fortune not having the tables to accommodate the game.

The distance between Fortune, Red Dragon, and Caribbean are far from each other enough that there are three pretty distinctive player pools. It is a damn good situation and I see no incentive for any of the casino to want to go after the other, especially with the maximum of 15 tables allowed.

Reading comprehension can be difficult, but give it another shot. I didn’t say Fortune took players from other rooms, rather those other rooms are/were so poorly run those players decided to play at Fortune now.

Funny you said that, because I never said anything about Fortune taking players, just that there are different player pools.

Reading comprehension fail? I would agree.

You seem to want to peddle this notion that Caribbean is losing players to Fortune - it is not. Caribbean has been running more tables than it had ever did.

Playing 4/8 to build a bankroll and gain experience > not playing poker

I’m guessing most ppl struggling to get a start in poker don’t just stumble across an extra $15,000 to jump straight into 8/16 with.

Imagine making $12/hour while enjoying your favorite hobby... what could be worse?!

Visited Muck after my Fortune table got to 4/5 handed (people kept wandering away) and we sat there and stared at each other for 5 minutes because someone didn't want to keep playing. Floor did their best to get the game going, but nits are gonna nit. I got tired of waiting, so I racked up and headed south.

Asked around at Muck and no one seems to know anything about the new room. Was hoping for a date, or update, or anything. Sound like Club Galaxy (with its smoke and completely chaotic table placements) for the foreseeable future. Shame.

Fortune waitress took my food, wasn't even half way done. There was half a viet chicken and half a bowl of fried rice. Was going to treat my doggo with chicken ffs

Happy weekend
