This is grand opening weekend for the new room. They are having 500$ splash pots and giving away a G35.

That's the only reason the lists are long. normally weekends are just fine.

Played from 11p to 5a, gave away a bunch of my profit, went out to Karl's car to take a nap, came back at 9a and put my name on 4/8 and 6/12. At 3pm, I had gone from 47th on 6/12 to 46th.

4/8, I went from 114th or thereabouts to roughly 50-60th. QueueOS only lists "Andre" as my name, and there were two Andres, so who knows.

It's gotta suck for the casual player who saw the ads and won't get seated today, like oh... everybody on this page who thought to go. Check back another night, the new room usually means prompt seating, although with the hype, maybe that will change as well.

Floor also had a few bright ideas today, like having chips at the ready at the table to dish out when starting a new table. It's nice to see they think proactively OCCASIONALLY.

I got there about 9:30, and there were 176 people on the 1/2NL list. Screw that. I turned around and drove to Choctaw and got a seat within a minute of getting there.

[hime]

Yeah, see... it's not normally like that. Or it hasn't been prior to this. Now that they've publicized the room's expansion, who knows.

actually I have played HU with a rake break up there after the 5-10 must move broke, JT,(SitandStack) and me sat there and played HU for like 3 hours while the floor man filtered other new players into the Main Game.

anyways I will be there sun, mon and tues If you wanna go take a smoke break i'm down, I'll be wearing a white backwwards hat with long shaggy blond hair. (kind of fat, that just means I can afford to eat good!)

I have several friends that went yesterday. I talked to some who were almost there at 7am and I understand they actually got seated at a table around 2pm. Another guy I played with in Dallas last night said he'd been there several hours on the 2/5 list and was like #60 on the list and gave up and came home.

I hope this is just a grand opening all the crazy people going thinking they'll win a car thing. I've been to the new room 3 times prior to yesterday and never had to wait more than a few minutes for a seat at 2/5 and they've always had multiple 5/10 going too.

See this post for how a guy morphed a 2/5NL into 10/20NL at 3:30am - quite entertaining:

I just called the poker room and they said the crazy crowd is gone and there is no wait on most tables. Heading up this afternoon. 1/2NL.

[hime]

Yeah, I'll be back at the tables late today. Instead of smoking cigars and reading books in the smoking lounge.

Just got home from 14 hour session at 5/10NL...live poker must die...idiots who cooler me for 2k must die, oh but somehow won $1,000+ betting RED on the flop vs asian lady named Song...in $25 increments...RED FTW and somehow miscounted my cash and despite thinking I left +$100 I somehow magically won $600 in the game..ok live poker may live again

I love disjointed thoughts that don't cohere!
