Same thing happens here on the East Coast. Starting a game can be such a BEAR! Even when the players know that the game will fill up soon after starting, starting short is simply one thing that a lot of players refuse to do! Sad, really.

If anyone wants to get a 3/6 game going tomorrow, let me know what time is good. Myself and some friends will play.

There we go Vig. Exactly what you should be doing here. Kudos.


Troy it might be good to do a game report every hour or so here while your working. Games spread + tables yada. Maybe tell some of your floor about this forum and get them in on the reports while your not there?

At least during this promo anyway. I think it would help a bit. Just a suggestion.

EXAMPLE:

Live game report Mon. 1/09/12 8:00pm

[3] 3/6 LHE
[2] 1/3 NL
[1] 1/3 PLO
[1] 4/8 PLO8

** I know you probably didn't need an example but I'm anal like that [ don't ask me for directions lol]

It'd be a pretty boring report. Every day thus far we have had between 2 and 5 No limit games. Last friday for a few hours we had a 2-5 game going. If and when we start to spread other games, I will certainly keep folks updated. Also, "like" us on facebook (TI Poker Room) and follow us on twitter @TIpokerLV and you can stay updated on there as well.

The twitter had been pretty dead in the past. People stop reading if there's nothing there to read.

I try not to flood people with a bunch of crap and non stop advertising. I will tweet when we get different games going, like on Friday when the 2-5 was up and full, etc... I will try and use it more often if that's preferred.

No...not boring. Even if you have just two tables of 1/1 and a knock rummy game between sitting dealers, these cats like to see it and see that a room rep is mingling. Idk why. I think it would be well worth the 60 seconds to post every hour or so.

Any haters or teasers poking fun at your room will be dealt with 2p2 style. No worries.

Cool, I will do my best to update here more often. On that note, tonight is a bit slower, 2 full NL games with a short list. A $3-$6 mix game is scheduled to start in 15 mins. Always be sure to call ahead to get your name on the list. We keep you up there for up to 30 mins, so don't call and then show up an hour later. You'll be upset when your name has disappeared.

EXAMPLE:

Live game report -Tue. 1/10/12 12:15am

[2] 1/3NL

**3/6 LHE table starting @ 12:30am


^^ like that ;-)

Then next update (say 2:30 ish) will look like this:

Live game report- Tues. 1/10/12 2:30am :

[2] 1/3NL
[1] 3/6LHE

And so on.

..I know its bare, but your doing your part. That goes a long way with people imo. Plus, your a small room anyway, even when your full it's not gonna look full if some one is used to a 30+ table room. No big deal.

Your a nice, clean, comfy/cozy room. Build it and they will come. Im telling you, when I get out there, I will be making your room a regular stop on rounds.

I see no reason for a nice room like yours not to have 3-4 1/3s, 1 2/5, 1 or 2 3/6LHE, and maybe a higher mixed game or something consistantly.Then again Im not there so. But you have a nice room and would expect it to grow in the near future. 2p2ers will help, you'll see ;-).

Played the $3-$6 mix last night and it was a blast. We started the game only 3 handed but it quickly grew into a full table. I'm sure I'll probably leave something out, but I believe the mix was:

Razz
Stud 8/b
3-2-1 Omaha
4 Card Hold'em
2-7 Triple Draw
Double Flop Crazy Pineapple

I am always impressed with how every dealer knows how to deal all the games.

We're organizing another mix game this Thursday evening. Estimated start time 7PM. Call ahead on Thursday to check the interest.

I believe there may be a maximum. As I understand the $10 is only for a max of 40 hrs month with a max comp of $199 for a monthly total of $599.

10 hours = $50
20 hours = $125
30 hours = $200
40 hours = $300
50 hours = $400
60 hours = $599

Comps are in addition to this money, $2 per hour. The above is paid in cash at the end of the week.

TI has had mixed games since they opened, before it was hip to have mixed games. I think Las Vegas Michael had his weekly game there too for awhile before it moved to the IP.

would you guys spread an 8/16 LHE if a group of players came in together and wanted to play it? If so, how many would you need to start the game?

Yes - We don't have $2 chips though, so it would be like the Bellagio used to do it with reds and blues. We would start the game with as few as 5 players.

So spread 7.50/15 with 2.50 chips

Hmm...a "pink chip" game of sorts. Interesting and unique imo.

Troyyyy! Sup bro?
Thanks for the $190!

Lucky spin...the magnets on all the $25 spaces must have been malfunctioning.

Def unique and tons of fun. Harrahs AC used to spread it I think and it was LHE. Mohegan sun CT used to have a regular pink chip HORSE game which was the best mixed game in town. Haven't seen it run in a long time. Fun to buy 4 racks of pink chips (everyone would do 2-4 racks) and build mountains of chips, it would attract some fish on regular basis, it was awesome. Give it a try sometime

Troy,

How many people have hit the max each week? Anybody do it for both weeks?

9 the first week, 8 the second. Yes, a few have done both weeks.

I know you have stated that you weren't sure how long this promo was gonna run, but do you foresee it running through next month at least?
thanks

Absolutely, YES.
