Stupid Bellagio

[bicyclekick]

Yeah it really is too bad the only mid/high action you can get is at the bellagio. They generally treat you a little more decent when you're playing those stakes, though.

Last 2+2 magoo-fest at the Bike, I win a pot with A-K unimproved to Josh W.'s A-Q. I tip about half the profit and Josh matches my tip. Dealer looks at him funny and he says, "I had a good hand too. A-Q suited."

Frustrating and a shame.

1. Their daisy-chained triple+ must-move game system sucks majorly, particularly for 2-5 no limit. What every happend to "must move for the first hour?" I tell you what, that final game in the chain almost always SUCKS and I've never stayed in it for more than about 15 minutes.

I'll pile on this one whenever I can (even at the risk of repeating myself, which in fact I am).

Chained must moves are a filtration system designed to remove all the fun and gamble from a game. The action player's second move is often out the door, leaving a main game full of stuck, joyless nits.

A few years ago the Bike was often getting three to five 20/40 stud/8 games. My Hero/GF was a semi-regular. Then management implemented a chained must move, probably to mollify a complaint from a daytime nit. Hero/GF, an action player with a great personality and manners (I'm really not sucking up here - Andy Fox, Clarkmeister and Dynasty among others would probably agree [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]), comes in to play. She's moved once no problem, she understood the idea of a must move. Now she's in a game she likes. She was asked to move again. She sees the next game in the chain and decided to leave for the night. Later she asked me about the policy. I explained my personal dislike of the policy and told her that upper management said it wouldn't be changed. She rarely played 20/40 stud/8 at the Bike again.

The Bike now has two to three 20/40 stud/8 games.

The players that play during the day and get the ear of poker management liek it this way; they become angry if anyone tries to have fun in the poker room.

Can you elaborate on the reasoning (even if it's faulty) for PLAYERS wanting a must move system? I don't understand why any player would prefer the must move system since the main game is always awful (as already stated).

Thanks,

How absolutely and sadly true. Vegas is the PRIME example. The MAJORITY of locals, ESPECIALLY daytime players here in vegas, are just plain jerks, with a large dose of no-fun on the side. Perhaps cardrooms should only be open on swing and grave.

It is always the palyers that want a must move system; a must move system does nothgin for the casino. Players want a must move system so if they have been sitting there palying their game wont' break up because they have been there the longest.

Who was the shift manager? That tall bald-headed guy? Nate? He's a tool.

3. there is a long to very long wait much of the time, particularly during the best times to play cards, like weekends and swing shift

I've lived here in Las Vegas for a year-and-a-half now, and this is the exact reason I have never played at Bellagio. Wynn has won me as a regular (currently 8/16) until I work my way beyond 40/80.
