+1, if this guy is the guy i'm thinking of, he's easily one of my favorite dealers at the rock. I usually tip $1/hand on small pots. So i kept throwing him $2 chips and asking him to chop them. He gave me a very convincing thank you for every dollar, so finally i threw him a $2 chip on a smallish pot and didn't say anything. He took it and chopped if for me anyways, just assuming i was tipping $1 again. Obv i throw him both whites and he said thank you very much again. Very fast dealer that keeps the game moving well, and keeps the atmosphere light and funny. A+ and keep up the good work.

The fiance' and i are heading over to THR tomorrow afternoon. We should get there around 4ish. Some of you that play, how long does the list get for 1/3?
We normally play in Daytona, but have to meet the wedding planner so we decided to give it a try.Hopefully we dont have to live some of your guys horror stoires.

Not me relates or really hard rock related but general question about Florida pokker...

Are the games playing much smaller than they should?
Ever table I play at. 1/3. People are buying in for 100 or 150

2/5 people buy in for 300.... Is this norma in Florida ?

What about else where? People look at me like I'm insane sitting with 300 in a 1/3 game

LOL, yea at 1/3nl anyone sitting with $300 you know is a good player right away because the majority buy $100-$200.
Its pretty sad really. Ive seen alot of the 2/5nl regs pre July 1st buying for the min. $200 now at 2/5NL.

Huge line just to get on list. Its taking like 3 min per person because people ask a million questions.

is there any PLO going?

also does anyone have the poker rooms direct #? cant find it on the web site

anything higher than 5/10 going tonight?

I heard them trying to fill open seats on a 2/5plo game. I dont know how short it was or if they were trying to get it up and running.

621-1302 is operator or dial 0 for operator then ask for poker room. you will get the brush stand in the back corner.

Yea and everyone is buying in for 2-300 at the 2/5NL game. Im literally like the only guy that sits down with $600 everytime.

some of the dealers and supervisors do read this thread

doubt itll change anything though

Yes never fails. Get called for game, watch brush tel reg. To go to seat. Tell them I was called "sorry miscalled your name."

1/2plo starting now

any 10/20 lhe or lo8 running today?

4/8 is highest LIMIT game. 2 games of 3/6 omaha/8

Just got here. Room is pretty packed

Does anyone know what the "comps" are now? I heard it was .50 an hour.

They had some serious issues getting people on the list last night. I got there about 7:30 and there was, NO JOKING, at least 60 people IN LINE waiting to get on the list. I got a brush to put me on the list and got seated pretty quickly. They HAVE to do something about this.

.60hr smal games 1 for bigger.

Yea, too many people asking a million questions and taking 3 min. To help per person.

The thing is, the system has the ability for patrons with HR Rewards cards to do self check-in. If they had only people WITHOUT cards go to the brush stand for check-in, problem solved. Also the display could display WHAT table to go to without having to go to the brush stand for table assignments once called.

They could do so much better. Also the dealers getting fills is still problematic and the cage is always short staffed, especially after midnight.

I did pretty good last night on 2/5 despite getting coolered by 88 with AQ on an 8QQ flop late in the night.

I was there last night. They had an older lady trying to manage the list and hand out seat assignments as they came up, and she was very disorganized with it. Sent me to a full table before getting it right.

Completely agree with the cluster f at the front desk pretty much every time. People sometimes don't see there is a line and just walk up and that causes confusion, and to boot they bounce back and forth between which station is taking names.

Also, to see the list, you have to walk to the far end of the front of the room. Why not have a big screen right there where everyobdy gathers?

Of all the places I've played in Florida and elsewhere, the Tampa room signup and seating is by far the worst. By far.

God this place tilts me

no deposit boxes unless you're a hotel guest.

I was there last night too and there was a line even at midnight. It was about a dozen people but it moved like a snail, like literally 2 min per person. After about 10 mins, I got rescued by an employee who grabbed two of us out of line to fill a 2/5 game. I don't know how that happened but it's good to see some staff members taking matters into their own hands.
