Boba was still there on Monday at 6:30, he was gone by 8pm and replaced with David. Since the other 3 floor guys were let go a few days earlier I was hoping Boba would survive and just went home early. Nobody talked about Boba that evening, it didn't even cross my mind.

Interesting side plot... Boba sits me at my table, and I (as always) give him a red bird. He looks down at my hand and actually hesitates. He looks at me oddly as if to say why are you giving this to me, and then accepts the tip. Thats standard operating procedure for me, I always tip him regardless of the wait for a table (and he barely ever remembers me because i don't play at the B often enough). Too bad, Bobba had the most personality of the floor crew, I hope they dont bring over the Mirage staff!

As related to this story - I hear Suzie is back. The plot thickens...

Suzie's been working a small amount of tourneys all this time - Tunica, the 5-Diamond, Mandalay, and Aruba, I believe. She was in the room these past couple weeks because... of the tourney. She never moved to Ireland, that was a goofy olivert thing.

Whether or not Suzie is staying beyond the tourney, well, if there's more to it, then I dunno... the "B will get rid of low-limit" rumor is garbage, they're not going to get rid of easy money. This town is the land of rumors that never go through... I'm still waiting for that poker room in NYNY, for one.

One thing I did hear is that they are planning to expand out onto the casino floor (possibly taking over as much as the whole area of slots near the room, from Light/Snacks/Fixx to the O theatre) for the WSOP. How many extra tables can fit out there in that space, I dunno. But with the Bellagio Cup being made a WPT event and the ton of action in town and the ton of empty tables at the V, the B is potentially looking to keep all the big action in one place and avoid having the overflow scatter.

Olivert? What does he have to do with this?

I heard Suzie moved there with Howard. Howard moved there for business reasons of course. i could have heard wrong, or she could be traveling a lot between the countries - I don't know.

I wish I remember the name of the dealer who told us Suzie is now back full time, I see her face but i don't remember her name. She used to deal at the Mirage, been dealing for over 20 years, has a perma-frown.

I first read the "Lederers move to Ireland" thing in one of those olivert macro-posts, hence, mentioning him, but he's not important here, anyway...

It wasn't Linda, but she looks like an older version of Linda. The Howard move to Ireland thing is true, everyone at Tiltware lives there now - Ireland is Online Poker friendly.
