I'll be at the Venetian with Mrs. C Aug 8-9, and was hoping to play some limit. The deep stack tourney and WSOP will be done. Will I have any luck finding LHE up to 9/18 at the V?

Likely 4-8, or nothing at all. Walk down the street and enjoy.

Re: A Surprise at the Venetian !
 

I was at the V last night (friday), the room was back to pre-WSOP levels of traffic - meaning it was a bit less than 1/2 filled. Only NL games, there was a long list for a rotation game, also a list for 9/18 and 15/30 but the games were not spread. There was one 4/8 table with two names on the waiting list.

Thanks TT,

Sad -- but maybe (like you said) they're just going to be a NL house.

Guess I'll just have to count on the Mirage and Wynn for 6-12, 8-16, 10-20 and 15-30.

Actually if I ran the room I'd promote it as an all NL house because thats what the customers want here, and the limit business is just too hard to take away from the other rooms in town. One of the V's mistakes is that they are still promoting itself as a room for all people/all games, although it sounds like a good strategy in reality its not - owning a significant share of the NL market would increase the rooms traffic. Someday perhaps management will embrace the "niche" factor of their consumers, until then they will continue to alienate players like you who come expecting XYZ game who get nothing but a waiting list all night long.

You probably should run it. And your suggestion is a very good strategy for that room. They could realy run with it.

With the change in day shift room manager I suspect the day games will be run better and smoother.

Did Ari get canned, left on his own terms, or moved to another shift?

Ari has left to become Director of a room in Atlantic City.....

Re: A Surprise at the Venetian !
 

I've been to Vegas twice so far this year and missed the V's deep stack tournament by a week or two both times.

Does anyone know if this will be a regular/quarterly event, or do I just need to wait before booking my next trip?

(Looking at September after school starts back up...)
