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.
