When TDs don't listen to players, they get s&^%$, and when they do listen, they still get cr*& because they listened to players who may or may not know what the hell they are talking about?

a TDs effort to cater to the players requests should be commended. I agree that TDs do need to rely on their own instincts and experiences more often though. Also, there is no reason for any TD or establishment to want to 'create a market for mixed games' They are in it to make money, and if the demand isn't there, they should simply drop it...regardless of the 20 very vocal people who will write 100 posts about how great the mixed games are and people like Chainsaw that will complain if the structures were better they would draw massive fields.

Thank you for backing me up on this one guys...I'm over it now, just had to get it off my chest. I'm sure this thread will get much longer in the next day or two, though...

Oh, and "dcarp rantaments"...priceless.

Part of the reason no one showed up for those mixed events is that they were not advertised. The scehdule was changed after the fact and many mixed event players were unaware that they were even running them.

confirm the chainsaw.

i had no idea about them and i live in a house with 3 poker players in LV and our circle of friends contains a venetian floor. i played all the wynn classic horse/o8 events and those all got 100+ runners on weekdays. i looked at one of the original schedules and then didn't think about it further.

or better yet, make it 20k starting chips and 1 hour levels but starting at 1k/2k/200

if Venetian had advertised the full schedule from the onset with nl at noon and mixed at 4pm each day, the turnout would have been fine.

i sat next to a mexican guy in the plo rebuy who had no idea how to play omaha or speak english. the tournament director had to get a translator to explain the rules to him. of course, i was moved to scott's table before the 2nd orbit. fml.
just one, i think?
