Assuming they could get games going and a percentage rake with triggers on thresholds I'd pay an extra dollar on large pots to play in a game with no Las Vegas regulars.

You think that is +EV?

Back in July I spoke to the guy who was running Harrahs poker room and he said he was moving over to manage Caesars. Seemed like a class guy who was trying to help the players, don't know how he fits into all this.

Posted on a Dealers Website yesterday

"Today, the TWU, on behalf of the Dealers of Caesars Palace, has formally PETITIONED the NLRB for a VOTE for Union Representation!"

I do not know if this included the poker dealers. I do know that the union organizers reached out to the poker dealers and asked them to sign Union Authorization Cards.

I played at Ceaser's this Friday, and there was a new Tournament director.

Young Hispanic guy... possibly gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Was that Jesus? He's not new, been there since it opened and had been doing tournaments (not full time) regularly.

Not gay either.

I don't think so. One of the dealer's needed some chips, and asked the other dealer what his name was. Someone said "You don't know his name?" and the dealer said "He's new, just started today."

Their first two poker room managers were fired because they were knowledgable poker people.

Knowledgable poker people, yes, possibly.

Reason why they were "fired", lol, god no.

I sorta know why Mike was canned and definitely know the situation behind Vito leaving, but I can't disclose it here at all. Sorry.

Oddly I got an email from Chris out of the blue today, he is now conducting business in China for Harrah's. So although he is not at Caesar's, he is still working for Harrah's.

Re: Massive Turnover in Caesars Palace Staff?
 

Don't really know why Mike was axed. The next fellow--yeah, he really needed to be shown the door.

While yes, they are an arm of Harrah's and yes, Harrah's is famous for screwing their people, not EVERY person they fire is fired because he knows things that might get them in trouble and force them to close hundreds of hotel rooms for weeks and is making waves about it and refuses to go away silently. Sometimes they get it right.
