If you're suggesting that throughout all of February the game never once rolled through into the next day, and that only twice did a second game run, I will have to respectfully disagree with you.

Pretty sure he was only stating that it didn't always run the next day, "not 24/7" only implies that at least once it didn't run into the next day not the opposite.

Are they seriously still runnin the 60hrs a week promo? It seems that the promo totally ruined the action there and I have not seen them showing more than a game of $1/3 on most nights. Plus the game teds to be too many regs.

In another thread someone said that some of the regs get stuck deep and keep playing because they know they will get $599 back of there $1500+ loss for the week.

the regs aren't good, but they're all nits. plus the rake is effectively 15% up to $6. promo isn't worth it for these 2 reasons imo

Last edited by ashiXIII; 10-15-2012 at 01:30 AM. Reason: actually a bit worse than 15% before the pot reaches $40.

Has the game at TI gotten worse since the nit quarantine at Tropicana ended?

That would be my only concern. I know the game wasn't nitty by most freeroll/promo room standards before, but I'd be afraid some may have invaded from other rooms.

For those of you complaining about the $2 jackpot drop, are you really going to win 300 pots in 60 hours of play to work your way down to breakeven on the promo? Until you start calculating the additional rake of 10% to 4 as opposed to 5% to 4 or whatever the Venetian works out to, this seems like a good deal even with the extra drop.

Also, are there other jackpot bonuses to take into account?

No, you aren't. There are 30 hands an hour so the average players wins 3.3 pots/hour. 5 pots per hour is 50% more pots on average means you have to be an insane maniac.

Why are you guys still talking about the $10/hr promo? It's gone. History. Kaput. So is the $2/hand jackpot rake; they're back to the standard $1.

If ashiXIII can win 300 pots in 60 hours he should do well in the most-hands-won per 3-hours promo.

Rake doesn't seem to matter a lot given that I called over a few days ago at 8 pm and they had zero games running.

Looking at it in hindsight, I don't' understand why they got rid of the rakeback promotion. Say what you will about the nature of the game, but the fact remains that they usually had games going and seeing as how this is not the case now it was obviously due to this promotion.

The few times I did manage to play it, the game did not seem that nitty to me. At the very least there was usually a lot of money on the table. Perhaps this was a case of something they just needed to tweak instead of getting rid of it altogether.
