LOL. I interpret "Midnight" to be "am" and assumed everyone did, but maybe not. I thought people were stupid for telling Ron he was being ambiguous because I thought it was obvious - except that I turned out to be wrong! And after a quick google search....I stand (or sit, rather) corrected.
OVER/UNDER line for how many people show up a day early?

Digital clocks and computers commonly display 12 a.m. for midnight. While that phrase may be used practically, it helps to understand that any particular time is actually an instant. The "a.m." shown on clock displays refers to the 12-hour period following the instant of midnight, not to the instant itself. In other words, 11:59 p.m. shows until midnight; at the instant of midnight it changes to 12:00. Simultaneously, the p.m. changes to a.m., though, strictly speaking, a.m. does not apply to the instant of midnight which separates p.m. and a.m. In 24-hour time notation, "0:00" and "0:00:00" refer to midnight at the start of a given date. Some styles, such as ISO 8601, allow 24:00 to refer to the end of a day. Noon is 12:00:00.
One way for a digital clock to show midnight
While computers and digital clocks display "12:00 a.m." and "12:00 p.m.", those notations provide no clear and unambiguous way to distinguish between midnight and noon. It is actually grammatically incorrect to use "a.m." and "p.m." when referring to 12:00. The abbreviation a.m. stands for ante meridiem or before noon and p.m. stands for post meridiem or after noon. Since noon is neither after noon nor before noon, and midnight can equally be twelve hours before and after noon, neither abbreviation is correct (although the length of the error is determined by the smallest unit of time — 12:00:01 p.m. would be correctly notated).
The most common ways to represent these times are, (a) to use a 24-hour clock (0:00 and 12:00, 24:00), (b) to use "12 noon" or "12 midnight", although unless the person is referring to a general time and not a specific day, "12 midnight" is still ambiguous, (c) to specify the time between two successive days or dates (Midnight Saturday/Sunday or Midnight December 14/15), and (d) to use "12:01 a.m." or "11:59 p.m." This final usage is common in the travel industry, especially train and plane schedules, to avoid confusion as to passengers' schedules.
The thirtieth edition of the U.S. Government Style Manual (2008) sections 9.54 and 12.9b recommends the use of "12 a.m." for midnight and "12 p.m." for noon. Some religious calendars continue to begin the day at another time — for example, at dusk in the Hebrew calendar and the Islamic calendar.

By the way, the reason I assumed (incorrectly) originally that the April 10 Midnight freeroll would be Tuesday morning (12:01am) rather than Tuesday night (11:59pm) is that the HR advert in Ante Up Magazine for the freerolls states "APRIL 10 AT 12AM". This is eminently incorrect if the freeroll is indeed Tuesday night (11:59pm) as confirmed by P-Ron. The designation "12am" by normal convention means the midnight at the start of the day, not the midnight at the end of the day.

I expect there will be a lot of players trying to sign up Monday night. I might too, as I still only half believe it won't run until Tuesday night.

He didn't even understand what a legal raise could be. I was sitting at 1/2 waiting for my 2/5 seat and somebody raised to $10. The next person wanted to reraise and he said it had to be $20. I literally tried with all of my heart to explain how it works but he couldn't get it. Sir, that person raised $8 that means the next person can raise $8 which $8 plus $10 equals $18 not $20. He literally stared at me like I had four heads. The re raiser just told me to let it go cuz he didn't care about 2 bucks either way. He dealt our 2/5 table yesterday and was equally as horrible. I am fine with them promoting from within and he is obviously young and will make mistakes but for the love of everything holy please make sure you know the basics. I already know the answer to my own question but does Hard Rock just throw them in and hope for the best?
