Can I have a worse night than this?
 

Just to set the mood. I'm in charge of over 30 live games at the Grand WSOP circuit event with games from 4-8 to 25-50 NL and a whole lot of high limit PLO. I think it was a full moon. The wolves we're howling. I had to kick out 4 poeple including a PLO player, with 200k in front of him, for refusing to comply with the non-smoking at the table rule and a moron that claimed to be a 2+2er that told a black dealer to go back to Africa. On a side note you know who you are. I received your private PM and I thank you for your apology. This is no way changes my view on what happened. As if I don't have enough [censored] to deal with I have to deal with this? The only promise I make to you is if you ever come to the Horseshoe and sneeze wrong I'll make sure you never step foot in the casino again. Your lucky this happened at the Grand.

At least you can be reasonably sure only one or two of your players got their bankrolls by stealing your other customers' bikes.

I was just outside one minute ago. That moon looks pretty full to me.

Yup, calender confirms it. Full moon.

Does anyone know why this makes people act goofy? I've been in this business a long time, and I've noticed a definite correlation between full moons and multiple incidents of stupidity in poker rooms.

It has to do with the increased gravitational pull.

I hope this was a joke.

werewolves don't exist but weretards and werenits are everywhere.

Is everyone missing the point here?
 

I expect a certain amount of stupidity in a poker room on a day to day basis, full moon or not. The moon is the least of my worries. What I don't expect is someone introducing themself to me as a 2+2er in the middle of a beef on a table, second guessing my decision, and then making racial slurs to the dealer when I leave the game.

You seem to have a high but wrong opinion of 2+2'ers. That says more about you than it does about them.

I'm a big fan of the biketheft jokes as you can see by my avatar/location, but I don't get this one. What did this have to do with the OP?

Nothing. Random biketheft jokes are the last thing anyone would expect in this thread, so I figured it'd lighten the mood of an otherwise way too serious post. Meh, guess I was wrong.

hence a BIG reason why I don't play live very much.
Why would I voluntarily want to deal with jerk-offs like this?
Guys like this are unfortunately not that much of an exception in my experience.


I went down to the grand on Thursday and played some limit and single-table satellites and found the whole scene to be run pretty well (would have been nicer if I hadn't dropped $1000 in just a few measly hours).

Still haven't met the elusive Chip777 yet but I'm sure that will happen eventually.

Re: Is everyone missing the point here?
 

Chipr777 is a hell of a nice guy and a benefit to the forum and to poker in general. Although every 2+2'r I have met so far has been very nice, I am certain that if chipr777 is down on them, they have it coming.

Re: Can I have a worse night than this?
 

I was down at The Grand on Saturday and played some 4-8. I was pleasantly surprised with about everything. I realize there isn't near the attraction for this tourney as there seems to be for the WPO but everything went so smooth. It really seemed like the staff had control.

Plus I left winner. Maybe that was it. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm glad this clarification was made, because otherwise people may have started making assumptions about who the 2+2er was.

I don't know either. The private PM I received from him came from the name "I'm sorry".. or something like that.

Re: Can I have a worse night than this?
 

Don't get all bent about this, but I do have a question.

I've been to the Grand many times, and a I've seen quite a few members of the staff who actually ARE immigrants from Africa (or possibly the Caribbean). Is the dealer an immigrant, or is he a black American? Would you be offended if someone told the red-headed, freckled Seamus O'Callahan to go back to Ireland?

Re: Can I have a worse night than this?
 

if you live in the USA you are a American.

Re: Can I have a worse night than this?
 

Oh. That makes sense. I guess we should disband the Immigration Department, and tell that group watching the border in Arizona to go back to their homes.

Technically they already did get rid of INS.

I do think that the minutemen watching our border need to be sent home. Nothing good can come from pissed off and beered up hillbillies with guns looking for minorities.

They are certainly the exception. The problem is they stick out and can ruin it for everyone. One bad apple...

I am sure this is because there are people there that have actually worked in a professionally managed poker room rather than just the normal Grand staff.

Re: eh
 

I think that is the local delta accentt the locals have devloped over the years.

O yea to Chipper It can get worse I saw a chip runner drop a rack of Black chips in AC rcently! It was near the 5/10 holdem tables dont think she got them all back. SO who is responceable her the floor the casino?

Re: eh
 

A chiprunner in AC? Is that a service for the high rollers or is there a casino out here that uses chiprunners altogether? I play baby no limit and have never encoutnered a runner. On second thought, I have never even seen one. Paint me curious.

Re: eh
 

Taj has chip runners on the high side on most weekends. It's just a guy with a push cart that you can buy racks of chips from.

Re: eh
 

When I used to play at foxwoods, they had chip runners, but then at some point they got rid of them and you had to go to the cage to get chips. I haven't been there in a while, so I don't know what their policy is now.

Re: eh
 

EDIT: I'm color confused

Re: eh
 

Thank you for clearing that up Jeff.

-Yarney

Chiprunners
 

We have chip runners at Horseshoe all the time. If the runner is busy the floor will get your chips for you. The limits you play doesn't matter.

Re: Chiprunners
 

It's the same way at The Grand. The floop has always just asked me what I want in chips. I've never even had to ask for a chip runner.

Re: Chiprunners
 

They have a floop at the Grand? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
