Re: My first trip to the Wynn poker room (long)
The Wynn staff was pleasant?
The staff that was plucked and cherry picked from MY CARD CLUB, CANTERBURY???? I HAVE INEXPERIENCED JOE BLOW DEALERS SAYING ALL RED BEATS TWO PAIR WHILE YOU MILK ALL MY GOOD DEALERS FOR VEGAS???????....GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I do feel the quality of Canterbury has gone down slightly with the loss of so many of our good floor and dealer people - I knew that excellent staff would be one of the Wynn's selling points from the beginning - glad to see they're not letting me down or making me look like a liar [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] RB

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

The bigger appearing pots tend to stimulate more action -- that's the theory anyway. People have pointed out over the years that one of the reasons $5-10 live played with $5 chips isn't that popular is that the pots look small and this tends to kill the action. That's why casions will spread $4-8 and $6-12. Sort of strange numbers for bet sizes but the larger number of chips in the pot tends to stimulate the action -- at least that's the theory. [ QUOTE ] I don't particularly don't like to waste time stacking my own chips - Unless I'm leaving the table! [/ QUOTE ] I think it's your perogative to use $5 chips but making change does slow the game down a little but as you stated you accumulated enough $1 chips to mix em with your $8 bets. You also have the option to color up as you go along if you get too many $1 chips in front of you. Anyway I don't think you're a dick and hopefully my explanation will shed some light as to why $1 chips are preferred. A lot of people when they bring $5 chips in and that's all they have will get $20 or so of $5 chips converted to $1 chips.

Re: My first trip to the Wynn poker room (long)
I like that one of the channels in your hotel room is the poker wait list.
You don't even have to call down to see what games are going, or how many. Its the little things.

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.

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???
