Re: Wheeling - Friday Nov. 9
Another session at Wheeling yesterday, 8 hours. Only two pots awarded to the wrong persons, both saved by the players. Only one dealer who screwed up a rule (didn't understand the rules for raise-sizing in a NL game). Very few misdeals this trip, maybe two or three. We're seeing about 28 hands/hr; earlier it couldn't have been more than 14. This is all major progress.
The cashiers are faster, and now they're measuring by stacks (no more $10 at a time). This time, they didn't whip out calculators!
They're still having issues getting the wait-listed folks onto the empty seats. However, it wasn't nearly as profoundly dysfunctional as in prior visits - where vast numbers of open seats lingered for many, many hours, and throngs of players huddled like vultures around a thirsty, dieing animal, waited for their names to be called.
Things are certainly getting better, and the smoke-free environment is wonderful!
