Whats up with that? Why replace people that know poker with people that don't know poker? Is there a shortage of poker people in Atlantic City?
Yes, they got rid of the poker director position. That is the only position that got taken away though as all the other managers are still there. However, the company has put poker into the "table games" rotation for managers so when one of the poker room managers goes on break (and they get more breaks now.. used to be one 1/2 break per shift or less..) they will have someone from table games to cover. They are now training those managers to know how to run the poker room since they will be there more often now.

I'm pretty sure I know which Mike you are by your location. We've sat together quite a few times.

Hey, you don't suck. You ran bad. You just happened to win small ones and lose big ones. I think I ran much worse than you. Only I get to try again tonight....

I suck too. It was fun, though.

Sorry about that bluff, by the way.

I would disagree, unless you were a mix.

White = Caucasian (I would guess that most "whites" have European roots of some sort).

Hispanic would be roots from Latin American countries such as Brazil, Spain, Dominican Republic, Cuba, etc. A lot of the hispanics around my way are Puerto Rican.

Yes we have. We talked before here on 2+2. Have you been in lately? I had some vacation time to use so I haven't been in much lately.

Post this is the harrahs thread...they have taken enough of our business lately.

I wasn't sure what the subject of this thread was. All I see is 40 pages of references to the name Mike.

Not sure why I am bothering, but I work for a research company that follows US Census Bureau racial categorizing.

Hispanic is not a race. Someone who is Hispanic/Latino can be of any race.
Most Dominican baseball players are Hispanic and black. Most Venezuelan soap opera stars are Hispanic and white. That fellow of Japanese descent who used to be president of Peru probably would consider himself Hispanic and Asian. Most of the population of Mexico is Hispanic and Mestizo (of mixed race).

When poll results categorized by racial/ethnic groups are published, the totals often add up to more than 100%. There will be a small note at the bottom reading "totals do not add up to 100% because Hispanics can be of any race".

When we do surveys, some Hispanics will try to tell us their race is "Hispanic". That does not make them correct, anymore than the people who tell us their race is "American".

Play lots of pokah. Enjoy the beautiful dealers and floorpersons. There will probably be a 2-5 and/or 5-5NL game going periodically throughout the weekend if that's your cup of tea.

Eat at the Taj snack bar next door. Get a cheese steak. If you're not sure where the snack bar is, ask the Taj floor.

And above all... say hi to the Mikes!

I haven't been down in about a month. I've had alot to tend to around home. My GF was giggling last night while I'm watching WSOP and talking to the TV about a hand. Effing guy flops the nut flush and check/calls to the river where he value bets and gets a call. And the announcers are talking about how well played the hand was...yup, real creative.

I need to go play....bad. See you Mikes soon hopefully.

I hate to be a nit but pure Cubans are actually technically Caucasian as are the Spaniards.

I will be there on Erection Day. Might do the 2/4 LHE Donkfest Tour if the weather is nice. If not, I will spend the day at Showboat with my hot chocolates.

I should be there on Wednesday night.

About the PLO game, I'll play if it's full. I'm bad enough at that game full ring.....short handed will just add to the problem.

I'll be at the 1/2 NL tables.
