Seating players at the wrong limit
In my recent trip to Vegas, this happened twice at the Mirage.
The first time, my friend - who is new to casino poker - and I went to play 3/6. We both got called at the same time and got sent to different tables. 20 minutes later, my friend is telling me he's leaving because he dropped $100 at a 6/12 table they seated him at by mistake. Two nights later, I went by myself to play 6/12. As the floorperson is directing me to the other floorperson with the 6/12 list, a guy behind me asks if he can play poker. He's obviously never played before, and asks for the lowest limit available. The floorperson says "you want 3/6, I'll put you on the list." 10 minutes later, a new 6/12 table is started up, and guess who's at my table? The newbie that was asking for the lowest limit there. Mistakes? Or would they do something like this on purpose? |

I am currently angry at the Mirage so out of pure spite I am going to say they do it on purpose.

Re: Seating players at the wrong limit
In the second case, I would guess that the floor said something like this the new player: "Say, I know you wanted to play in the smallest game possible, but we're starting a new $6/12 game. Would you like play in that right now rather than wait for the $3/6 seat?" Since waiting ten minutes for a seat is more than some of us can bear, I'd guess that he just took him up on it.
Or maybe he just progressed through the limits a lot faster than most of the rest of us. |

Re: Seating players at the wrong limit
No offense to your friend but if you don't realize that you are being seated at a table with different limits than you had specified then you have problems.
I've seen people seated at my normal 2-4 NL game and by their own fault they thought it was a 2-4 limit game. They just get up and tell the floor person that they wanted 2-4 limit. |
