Which 2+2ers deal/work the floor in Vegas?
 
Searching the forums has proved to be inefficent and ineffective, so I thought I'd just ask:

I'm leaving for Vegas in 2 weeks, and in considering what rooms I want to play, I'd like to know at which cardrooms 2+2 posters deal and run the floor. I really enjoy the insight from the threads and posts dealers and floorpersons write, and I'd like to play cardrooms where the staff knows what they're doing. If posting places of employment violates either company policy or personal preferences, I understand. Thanks!

Some people hear (including Mason) would disagree due to a deviation of card room management theory. I suggest the OP let us know what limits he wishes to play. Additionally I advise he read the excellent essay Mason post in the September 2+2 magazine about card room management since it seemingly interests him as much as it does me.

Al Capone Jr. works the floor at "Joe's Pool Hall and Gambling Joint", I hear its classy.

I deal on the strip, but thanks to some issues, I am no longer telling where I work. Seems there is always someone out to get you know matter how much good you do for your own place of work. I am not talking about my boss either.

Low limits ($4-$8 or less) at first - I'm taking $500 to lose, and that includes -EV drunken blackjack. Hopefully by trip's end, I'll be playing bigger games, and I want to take a shot at Wynn's $6-$12 O8.

I'm pretty sure I've read it, but it's a good, long article, and I'm reading it again. It should be posted on the doors of every casino, like Martin Luther's 95 Theses. Makes me want to play the Mirage, anyway.

That's on the Strip, just north of the Stratosphere, right? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I know you are looking for a well run cardroom, but would you really want to risk getting kicked in the nuts by playing at Al Capone Jr's joint???

Seeing others getting kicked in the nuts by Al is very +EV, and I would guess has a high probability of happening, since I'm going to Vegas on Halloween weekend. Surely, getting one to the nuts from Al is very -EV, but it's a low probabilty event, since I play in turn, don't shoot angles, and tip well. So I guess I have implied reverse pot odds.

Thanks to creative cutting and pasting by a local LV NIT or NIT Team, none of the dealers or floor dare post where they work and I hope none of us out them.
