Venetian (Las Vegas, NV) - Page 59 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Due to great feedback from our players on our new $200 Survivor Tournament every Friday at 7pm, we are going to implement a couple new changes starting tomorrow Friday December 27th. We are still giving 12,000 starting chips, but we will go to 30 minute levels after the first hour using our normal $120 NL Blind structure starting with 50-100.

Thank you for all the great feedback on how we can improve what we do. We look forward to implementing these new changes and we hope to see everyone tomorrow night at 7pm for the $200 Survivor.

Tommy

I would rate the current cards as below average but totally useable. The corners where people peak all seem to be bent/warped, but they're all bent/warped the same so not a big deal.

+1 on the new cards sucking and being warped so they catch air and flip up too much.

What's the deal with the 10 foot gate they put up in front of the property on LV BLVD?

I was looking into that as I see that Matt is hosting one in the LAPC. Nothing is out of the realm, but I may want to see his attendance first.

it's where the length of the levels increase as the tournament progresses. ex. 25/50 is 5 min. 50/100 10min, 75/150 15 min, etc. another one would be a reverse escalator. also iron mans are cool as well. you should do a $600 ironman eternament.

Exciting news for poker fans. While the pokermobile site never came back up, the site's live games link is working, and my little phone's browser can load it:

Good work, Bits and Bytes! Job well done! Consider the intertube unclogged!

We have to issue tax forms on any win $5000 plus the Buy In.

You can set up an account with our cage to wire money in. Any money that you do not use, you will have to wire back to the account from where you sent it. If you want more information, call (702) 414-1000 and ask to speak to the Main Cage. They will inform you how the process works exactly.

Is there a reason that the 2/5nl games are in a different location today? I actually like this new location for the 2/5nl games

. Any chance we can keep them in the new location?

The floor didn't know and the podium guy didn't know either. So I figured I'd post it for tommy to answer

Can you please please please please please instruct the dealers to stop squaring the pot before action is complete? It's super irritating to a lot of players, and also gives dealers another opportunity to make a mistake. I had a dealer tonight incorrectly square a pot and cost me an extra $100 that I had to pay off to the now-bigger shove. (I did get it back thanks to the cameras).

And as far as I know, they're not supposed to anyway.

Nittiest of nitty complaints:

I like having the coffee mess. I like getting it exactly when I want it and putting in exactly as much cream and sugar as I want.

But since you guys got rid of the sterno burners, the coffee isn't hot (duh). Can we please get hot coffee again?

(told you it was nitty).

Thanks.

Didn't realize until a little while later that I maybe paid off too much. Mentioned it to the dealer who immediately realized what he had done wrong, cameras confirmed.
