Default Re: Long Canterbury Trip Report written on the plane. No sleep..

I played all of wednesday thursday and friday in the evenings. I even won one of those fishing hats on wednesday. I was the guy with all the chips at 30/60 at table 33.

Similar to "there's no sex in the champagne room", there are no pros at 6/12.

Nice report.

How'd you like the room? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Loved it. The folks working the board really worked hard to keep the games moving and the horrific list moving. At The Mirage and Bellagio, the floor held lists on clipboards and seemed annoyed when folks would inquire. At Canterbury they had a huge markerboard everyone could see, and seemed to see themselves as in league with the players, against the board, rather than in league with the board, against the players. Even with monstrous crowds, the girls at the board recognized me by name on Saturday, and everyone was pleasant. I played at the Mirage for three days, and although they were polite and cordial, I was always a visitor and never a guest. I just wish there were more drunk tourists at Canterbury.

Canterbury puts a fair amount of effort into ensuring that people don't get drunk. I think it makes for a better atmosphere, and therefore, better games.
