William Mason,

What are the requirements to get a box? I average about 70-100hrs per month in the last 7 months of 2/5NL. Do I qualify??

Also, for the month of September will the high hand btw limit and No limit be seperated as discussed in previous threads? What would we optimal is if every game had a high hand. So for example say the game is 2/5NL, all the money that gets taken out of 2/5NL goes back to 2/5NL players and not a 1/2 limit player.

Thanks.

The only requirement for a box in the past was that you had to be a player. We will offer the boxes to those that had one prior to us closing them first. As for the September promotions, it is a little too early to discuss them, but they were discussed at our last meeting. We do realize that some of the other rooms split the HH between limit and no-limit and understand that they run more limit games than we do.

Thanks again for the input!

Dang, I was there on vacation and was involved in a splash the pot hand. Since I would not have been able to sell the ticket, I took that into account when playing my hand.

William Mason,

When it is raised preflop and everyone folds, some of the dealers take a $1 for the jackpot and some dealers don't and then you got some dealers that do both in their same session, there is no consistency.

For example I raise to $25 and everyone folds including small blind and big blind, why is there a jackpot rake of $1?

Why should someone have to pay a jackpot rake when their hand have zero chance of qualifying for the jackpot without seeing the flop? It would be like buying a lottery ticket and never checking the numbers.

IMHO there should be no type of jackpot rake when there is no flop. Hence " no flop no drop" of any kind including jackpot. Thanks again.

This is something else I am going to bring to the attention of the dept of parimutual wagering. Unfortunately, once you step foot an a Hard Rock location you are no longer in America as far as laws go. They are free to do as they please regarding poker including keeping 100% of the jackpot money for the house, raking pre-flop, as well as JP drop with no action.

My personal advice is to play somewhere regulated by the dept of parimutual wagering instead of a Seminole "Casino"

My guess would be if there is more than 10$ in the pot preflop they drop 1$ for the jackpot/2 for 20$. I could be completely off w/ this assumption though. I don't think the final raise is taken into account when seeing if there is 10$ for the drop to occur.

William Mason,

Why is your 1/2 buy in still 40$-200$. You gain almost nothing, and lose a lot of players who play on the side but aren't rolled for 2/5 yet (cause if they have half a brain they will go to a 1/2 100-300$ buy in game). Make your buy ins 100-300$ and I bet you will see more positives than negatives come from it.

-PS I hate old grumpy regs who think they are good because they soul read you with their 40$ and want to see them bitch and moan because they actually have to think about doing something other than open shoving or limp shoving.

+1 i hope management is listening. These are the type of things that will keep grinders in the seats and grinders keeps games going which means more rake for the house. It is bad enough everywhere rakes $2 JP but here is a chance for the HR to stand out from the other casinos.

Does anyone know if any rooms do a no flop no drop?

Thanks

I'm from miami, and the only reason i don't play at magic city is because they take rake and jackpot money when you take a pot preflop.

Also, the isle as a no flop no drop policy.



I also wanted to give you guys kudos on the gift card promos. Players like me have almost no chance at a high hand so its nice to get something back just for playing significant volume.

Our rule is that if it is raised preflop, everyone folds, and the pot is $10 or more, we take $1 for the JP/promotional fund. We do not take another dollar at $20 if there is no flop. There is other in room promotions that the money is returned on outside of a jackpot. We ensure that 100% of all monies are returned to the players via promotions without any expenses coming out of the fund.

This is something that we have discussed. We do offer a $100-$300 buy-in game, but it seems to draw little interest. There will be some adjustments to a couple of our buy-in ranges in either September or October.

We do not take a house rake if there is no flop.

New to 2+2:

Hello all,

Just moved to the area and have been playing 1/2 nl at the HR. I won a buy-in to a summer splash satellite this Sunday at 8:30. From the digging I've done on the website, I can't seem to find much info on the payout structure. Being a satellite I understand that the winner moves on to a tournament later in the month.

Can anyone tell me if there's a cash payout for this satellite? I may not feel like pulling an all nighter if only one ticket is awarded.

Thanks in advance.

You mean the summer splash prize wasn't adequately explained to you when you won ?!?

Hah

Yeah they explained it all in great detail, however I decided to sign up and post on this forum for the hell of it. Congrats on your

That was sarcasm, basically indicating that HHR isn't the best run room.
