my first trip to winstar, TR, tl;dr

[TxRedMan]

Yesterday I had one of the drink girls ask me if I wanted anything. I assumed it was comped, b/c I'd never played in a room where they charged players for drinks.

So, I handed her two white chips and said thank you, then she went to grab my drink. She gets back 15 minutes later and says 'that'll be $2.25'.......i'm like 'wtf' (in my head), and hand her a five dollar bill.

Bitch says 'do you need change?'

I'm like WTF!!!!!!!

I tell her that 'yeah, i need change, i gave you two dollars when you took my order', and she hands me $2 in change, i.e., she shorted me seventy five cents.

But think about it- when a waitress asks you in that spot if you need change, she's expecting you to say 'no'.

So, like, I'm some sort of sucker who's going to spend $7.00 on a [censored] starbucks frappucino? And [censored] me running, I end up tipping her like 140%.

I went and told the floor about it. It's not the seventy five cents, obv, it's the principle.

Personally, I think that room is making WAAAAAAAAAY too much money off the players.

WTF @ the rake.

Especially at $1-$2. There's no way you can beat that rake. If it's 10 handed and the avg. stack is $150, there's $1500 on the table, and they're taking $30/hour off the table for the bad beat jackpot (the bad beat is that every bad beat jackpot gets [censored] pinched) and about $120/hour in rake. So every hour, they're taking 10% of the chips on the table, on average. WTF.



Oh, and then they have sattelites for their sunday $300+30, and their sats are 10-man $50 buy-in crapshoots that pay one spot.

They're making $170 off of each [censored] sattelite.


The room is a total rip off.

I've yet to see if my winrate justifies the $20 in gas it costs me to drive up there and back, on top of the ridiculous rake and [censored] jackpot drop.


Meh.


Second day up there, seems like a piece of [censored] card room because they rape their players.
