Big Tunica Change

[bigfishead]

And prior to the Harrahs takeover the 3 weekly tournaments at the show smoked the competitions daily events.

In fact Karen totally screwed up a decent tournament schedule and not so bad structure within the first 60 days of her arrival at the Grand. I went there one off day for the Friday 7pm...got there at 1pm to play live first...they had changed it to 4pm with signups ONLY from like 11am -1pm or some crap. I LMAO at that one...it went from around 80-90 in attendance to 18 in 1 fell swoop!!

Kenny had to know that Harrahs was gonna tell him how to do his business. Thats why I left. When I saw what they did to Joe D and Jeff H in the middle of the WPO...I knew I was done. And when Kenny offered me to take over graveyard shift I laughed and told him no thanks. 30 days later he got my notice. I hated leaving there for LV & Bellagio. I love Tunica alot. The people are fantastic. The games are good. But I knew I wouldnt hang with what I felt Harrahs would do. That was the sole reason I left. Harrahs.

Best wishes Chipr777, give my regards to everyone for me. Wish them all a happy holiday.

THe Fri 7pm at the Grand was my baby, they coldn't wait to change it. That was not a one person job, it is an entire attitude. Even when Dale was still there and gave me a free hand with Fri night I had no fewer than 5 dealers a night want to know why we didn't shorten the levels or give them fewer chips to get it over with faster. At the time the Grand employed mostly dealers that fealt the players existed for them to make money rather than understanding they had a job only because players would come to their room.

To be fair to Karen, the real wrecking came from Herb Gee who hired her when therr were applicants that actually were familiar with poker. Herb had already set the downward spiral in place which is why Dale left; in Karen he was able to find someone that was happy to have a job even if it was at a crappy poker room.

One thing I've always loved about the shoe is how they take care of people.

I play there about once a week. Try to play some tourneys. I'm not a high roller btu they treat me like they treat everyone, with respect.

Seems like every time I call or anytime I ask they treat me with a courtesy like no other.

I wish I could name all the names but Mark, Dan, Susan, Dalesheeeesh EVERYONE there seems to be top notch.
