Turningstone fun

[hotsauce615]

got some of my college friends out for some poker tonight. One of them a great player who's a B&M virgin. We did the 1-3 tables which are really 3$ tables basically. I saw maybe one or two 2/3$ bets the entire time. We both ended up making like 80$ or so. The table had such a diverse range of players. I had Mr."Criticize everyone who beats me" to my right and "90 year old call everything with my husbands retirement money to my left. We handled the bad beats well and recouped through some hard nosed play. Nice table, fun dealers, much more professional than Foxwoods IMO. Not bad at all for a saturday, and if you tighten up you will profit I think even with so much calling. Too bad there's no alcohol =(.

I really hate that no alcohol rule, both for personal consumption and because it takes away from random drunk LAG's.

Believe me, they turn a blind eye to personal consumption at the Stone [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Edit to add encounter:

Us: can we drink in here?
Tina Marie: why don't you put it in a bag or something?

Major reason for that...Turning Stone dealers are keeping their own tips, while Foxwoods aren't... Just seems like a reason that I would want to be more professional, and fun for that matter... Until the 'Woods changes their policies regarding poker dealers, they'll always be sub-par...

Turning Stone dealers are some of my favorite anywhere. They are much more competent than Foxwoods dealers and many are more fun than AC dealers.

Keeping their own tips is one thing. Another is that many of the TS poker dealers have been around since the room opened (I remember playing with some of them when the room was in a totally different part of the casino). They are experienced, know the TS system well, and seem to enjoy their jobs.

Your posts added nothing to the thread, and were written in a condescending tone that I find unnecessary and offensive.

So what you're saying is that he's a jerk. I'd agree.
