Re: My first trip to the Wynn poker room (long)
The only remark negative that I have about my experience at the Wynn was the following.
I bought Red chips for $100 at the window - to enter the $4-8 TexasHE game, a game which I guess in LV is primarily played with $1 chips. Sat down at the table when called to play. No greeting from the dealer. Except the following - "Give me some of your Red chips..." I replied - "No." "This is a $4-8 game", he says. I confirmed with, "I know". No tips to this dealer when I got those blue chips.

Cheers [/ QUOTE ] Ben: The live games here in Atlantic City in the $3-6, $4-8 structure all use $5 chips, which makes for smaller table stacks. Butt for some reason the games in LV are all with $1 chips. Don't know the reason - when you win a huge pot it takes forever to stack the chips in front of you. I don't particularly don't like to waste time stacking my own chips - Unless I'm leaving the table! Regards, BA

When you refused it’s entirely reasonable for the dealer to think that maybe you sat down at the wrong table, something which happens all the time. You sound like you were going out of your way to be a dick and cause a problem.

I didn't explore the property... just the poker room. [/ QUOTE ] Bummer about your experiences there. I played there during the week of Thanksgiving and had none of the problems you experienced. I played 4/8, 8/16, 15/30 and found them all to be pretty good. The 2/5 NL game was really rocky, though. Very little action. The 15/30 was filled with regulars, fortunately, the regulars weren't very good. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I've never worried about playing against local regulars; I'm not sure why anyone thinks that those player are somehow better. The cocktail service was just fine where I was. And the floor staff did a good job while I was there. Dealers were generally good. The only problem I continue to see there is the size of the chairs. They're nice, but they crowd the tables. Regards, T

Re: My first trip to the Wynn poker room (long)
Guys:
I don't know how you can say that I'm a jerk or a dick looking for trouble because I didn't want to change any red chips for blue chips. I like playing with red chips - Whats the big deal? Isn't the dealer job to deal the cards? If he wants to change my chips maybe he should work in a bank or a credit union... Anyway. After this dealer left... A female dealer sat down. I had a few whites chips by now and used red and white in combo when betting. So whats the big deal???
