Thats very disappointing. I specifically played at Venetian on my last Vegas visit due to Lee's posting here. Their effin retarded if the fired him... I even played hands of BJ and tossed the dice a few times every time I went to the restroom. Guess Venetian hates money.

At this point, I may boycott Venetian poker room until I know a valid reason why Lee was removed, and also they don't offer the limits I normally play at.

For now, for me...screw Venetian

I wouldn't jump the gun just yet, as I have the closer to real story. Lee went back to the Table Games Pit, which is where he came from. He has been at the V since opening, and he went back there. He did not leave the company. He also started as poker manager with no poker management experience.

The man that replaced him is quite an amazing individual. Though I met and respect Lee greatly, James Knight, the replacement, has 35 years of Las Vegas POKER experience.

He opened the Mirage poker room in 1989, and prior to that was at the Golden Nugget, and has been in the poker business since before most of us were born.

Really, though I will miss Lee for how nice he was as a person, Mr. Knight seems like quite a catch for the V room. I chatted with him yesterday and walked away in awe, and I am not even exaggerating.
