I have to admit that when I looked around and saw players like Schulman, Little, Griffin, Cantu, Cassidy, Alaei, Madsen, Seiver, BoostedJ and many others without $5,000 bounties on them it was a bit embarrassing for me. I do not have the final say on who are the stars but I do have influence.

Of course everyone in poker these days is a star so maybe the best way to do it is open it up to an all star ballot process.

Nothing to be embarrassed about, the list of Stars this year was way more "relevant" than in the past few years, but I was curious how come there were only 43 stars this year.

1. autoshufflers - i remember when they first introduced these at foxwoods like 5 years ago and the players were so superstitious that the dealers were forced to actually riffle once before dealing. i can't see any reason to manipulate the deck further

2. 1 hr levels - i love this for bay 101, give me a real chance to bust on day 1 and get out or have a stack and make it into the deep/fun part of the tourney, it keeps the bounties in play on day 1 and makes the tournament exciting, not every tournament could/should be 2 hr levels with 10% blind increases

3. matt's dealers - i thought the bay 101 dealers were pretty damn good from what i saw

Yes, if it were put to an internet vote, there's a good chance that none of the Stars that made it this far would have been elected.

There is no need to bringing in bets. It tilts me to no end when people repeatedly ask the dealers to bring the bets in. Its a waste of time. I don't think the dealer should ever bring in the bets unless someone asks. BTW im here in AC atm. The dealers at Caesars are literally the worst dealers I have had in my life. So feel blessed to have Matt Savage dealers!!!

. Probably not even gonna play today because I hate being all cramped up in the rest/banquet area elbowing a guy at another table.

PM me if you go down there so I can sweat you again.

BTW, I hope Taylor Raines takes it down... would be nice to see a local reg win this thing.

Taylor Raines out in 23rd. Ran his aces-up into Hassan Habib's set of deuces. Hassan has been red hot at this table since it started this morning.
