pretty sad the only thing that keeps this thread on the front page is the fact that we left.

There's also been people posting in it just to comment about how it's not on the first page anymore. Kinda silly.

Best of luck in Florida to you and everyone else who went. I always enjoyed having you as a dealer when I played at the Showboat.

I hope that management at whatever room you'll be working in will value your input more than the Showboat did. I think things could have been significantly better for everyone if management had listened a little better to its staff and customers and had been willing to take some risks to try to pry some market share away from the Borgata and the Taj.

Rod, since you dont work at the boat anymore, maybe you can shed some light on a rumor that ive been hearing going around. Is the boat debating on closing the poker room completely? During the WPT there was a lot of talk about it. It wouldnt surprise me. The dailies do not get the same amount o entries that they used to, and its the only room in ac that you can walk into at 9 am on a weekday morning and there are no games going.

I'm going to be in AC this weekend, and I was thinking about playing in Showboat's 11 am tourny on Saturday. What time does that tourny usually end? I have to meet up with some friends in AC around 8 pm or so and was wondering if going deep would make me late. Not that I'm planning on winning or anything, I just hate to plan on losing!
