I think the actual reason was really that he was upsetting the tilted local who was offended because jason_t existed or something.

The Bellagio spend most of Saturday chasing us off the rail, whereas the Wynn allowed us to carry on a game that featured literal stealing of pots, my chipstack getting kicked over, and other acts that would have made the night floor at the Bellagio cry.

We had 8 players who wanted to start a 4/8 mixed game on sunday night and there were dealers sitting around saying they would deal it, like 10 open tables, but the floors wouldn't start us a game as they said they don't spread a mixed game lower than 40/80 by policy. Such a freaking joke. Mason even tried pulling some strings to no avail. He did say if the head guy was there he would understand and spread the game, but the peons don't understand the situation well enough to allow it. Missing out on a table full of rake and lots of generous tipping. Good call morons.

So frustrating.

Sounds typical of the Bellagio. Best games, horrible floor management. Did you take the game to the Wynn instead?

if this same group hadn't gotten carded the previous night and had one or two go "get" IDs...yes, we would have. That was the issue.

Here is the difference between the Wynn and the Bellagio:

Bell=threw out Shant for placing side bets on the color of the flop.

Wynn=allowed the same bets and took side action.

The Bellagio seems determined to have a stick up their ass.

To be fair, I was sidebetting against a dealer on the color of flops in the 30/60 at Bellagio for awhile, and with other players whenever I could, nobody had a problem with it. The mistake Shant, Jason, etc made was in trying to do so at 4/8, where the floorpeople feel the need to protect the regulars from anything uncomfortable.

But BK's original point about them not spreading the 4/8 for us stands as ridiculous. They claim they won't spread a different limit of the same game because it might hurt the regular game - I'm sure our 4/8 mixed was going to cause the 40/80 to break [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Can we all just agree that drunken BK trying to bribe floorpeople to allow this and then getting the Mason to help was awesome? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think the other difference was you were sitting in the game and not standing next to the table with a fan of one dollar bills.

F THE BELLAGIO. LONG LIVE THE WYNN.

That is hilarious. Who does shant think he is trying to gamble in casino? That is definitely a no no!

Sometimes the person telling you not to gamble is not who you'd expect. There are times when you should not gamble, such as when you're under 21 or had too much to drink... when you're lonely or depressed

This is why I love playing at Wynn, they spread anything, anytime, any handed. They understand if it gets going, they will get a full rake going and can start with low/no rake and new games. It makes no sense to be paying a dealer minimum wage and have him sitting around while there are empty tables in a room and players looking to play. All you had to do was go to Wynn and they woulda hooked you up. Especially if Kathleen was there.

Yet everyone still goes to Bellagio. Come on people, we need to work together to get all Bellagio regulars to come to Wynn on the same day.

Is she that floor manager there? Glasses? Around 40? If so, I thought she was definitely cool. Even one of the chip runners (Benjamin) said she was really cool.

No, the person you are referring to is the big dick while I believe Kathleen is 2nd big dick. And for the idiots out there, I mean in charge when I say big dick. Can anyone confirm this or are they both the cardroom managers or what?
