Hi Al:

It can be even worse if that tourist happens to be some sort of very high roller out in the casino. Now he complains to his host who passes the complaint up to top management who now will have a major problem with the poker room and the management of the poker room.

Notice that in many locations this sort of thing just can't happen. But it can easily happen at some of the billion dollar mega-resorts here in Las Vegas.

Best wishes,
Mason

The players that "Gambol" at that level are not playing in the games that are going to get called back are they? It would seem that 3rd man walking would work much better in the lowstakes were your typical nit always complains about empty seats, and should be relaxed in the upper mids and above.

or so it seems to me.

Hi slavic:

Why? Suppose some high roller watched a little poker on TV. He then comes to the cardroom to try it out. Why would he pick a high limit game. He'll probably sit down in whatever is open.

Best wishes,

Forgive my misconceptions of the Wynn, but I thought the general clientel that was being attracted to the casino was a group that liked action at a "higher" level. This would tend to make me think that playing in a lower betting range would have little interest with them.

I make my home in Seattle and certainly when we get the "higher" player who wants to experement, they always want to raise the stakes. If the poker room isn't drawing this style of clientel then it may be doomed anyway.

Thanks,
Dan

So a high roller, used to playing blackjack with black chips at a minimum, is going to sit in a game with white/blue chips?

They often do. Well a lot more often it is a craps palyer that wants to take a break a sit down. I once saw someone sit down in a 4-8 game and drop a bunch of high denomination chips on the table. He fished for a black one adn got a rack of chips. He played for a whiel and lost about half the rack. He picked up his chips he brough twith him and put them in his pocket and he ahd this half rack that couldn't possibly go in his pocket, so he stood up fomr the table and said, here dealer you can have those and walked away.

Hi Bremen:

Sure he will. This is especially true if the game is no limit. How can he play bigger than that?

By the way, when The Mirage was the place, and I use to play exclusively $20-$40, we would often get this type of person sitting in our game. Part of the reason for this was that there might have been lists on the larger games.

Sometimes, when someone like this showed up, his host would bring him in and they would let him jump the list and make the game 11 handed.

I also remember playing in a $10-$20 game at The Golden Nugget (before they closed their room). In the game was a high roller who had three casino security guards on each side of him (six in all). For some reason he wanted to try out poker, and when he left he threw $500 into the next pot in appreciation for us putting up with him.

Best wishes,
Mason

It was folded the the button who raised and stole the blinds. The BB had AQ but, in the true spirit of Vegas-tards, knew he was beat.

Mason:

The FW poker room is basically in the same location as every other poker room in a casino - in the back of the house next to the sports/racebook. Unless you know where you're going and where to park, you have to walk past all the other casino games to play poker. The only reason it may seem very separated is that it is so large, it dominates this area of the casino.
