Default Multi-tabling at the Wynn - investigative reporting by TT

Apparently this guy is a regular at the Wynn. He was playing 4 20/40 tables at Empire (no PT, no PA, not reading tools at all) and a live 15/30 game. Because of his multi-sensory experience he was extra tight, except for when he was in the blinds he would only limp with medium pocket pairs, or A-middle suited, and raise with all pocket pairs TT & above (I never saw him showdown hands such as AK, AQ, KQ, etc so I cannot comment).When I sat down at the table he was on a heater, up 26 BB (he claimed), by the time I left he was complaining that he was down to a bit less than his buyin.

What motivates someone to do this? Mid-game he told a story to the dealer about losing 14K playing PLO earlier in the week, so he had to take a step down.

That's just about the greatest thing I've ever seen. I'm surprised the Wynn allows it.

Gonores and NLSoldier were playing at the same table with me (Justin A was sweating and playing my stack during bathroom breaks), we were all in awe of what he was doing although he was a bit of a tightly-wound ass; I guess that should be expected considering the pressure he was facing. We didn't discuss it out loud but we were under the impression that online play is illegal in Nevada. How does that affect the Wynn?

Holy cow, any self-respecting floorman would have NEVER allowed this, what the ????

I have seen one guy who was allowed to use a computer while at a gaming table in san diego, but the guy was a schoolteacher, and it was obvious he was doing schoolwork, not playing four tables at party.

Yup.

This is not exactly what I had in mind in the thread (from a month or so ago) where we were discussing ways for the Wynn to improve their room and perhaps set themselves apart.

I think it's ridiculous that they would allow a player to do this.

And why not? Its easy to say because its against the rules, but I don't see anything that would compromise there game considering his actions.I had no problem with it at all, neither did any of his opponents... including the super fish who got a kick out of playing with an Internet pro at the same table.

I'm with you...as long as he played reasonably quickly, I can't see it being a big deal.

Well if he has a laptop running I don't see what is to stop him from running programs to help him with the live game going at the moment. I can think of all kinds of advantages that someone creative with a laptop could have. Personally I would use a usb camera on the laptop and photograph my opponents, keeping logs on all of their actions and tendencies.

If you think that the above would be unfair or disadvantageous to the game, than surely you must agree that if you let someone use a laptop, it would be impracitcal for the floorman to have the responsibility of checking over everyone's laptops assuring legitamacy.
