Cardroom Management Query

Aside from the risk of cannibalizing other games (which I see as very valid)...

If there are available trained dealers, space, and players, the room should be willing to accommodate reasonable requests for a game. They already opened the table, so how much more work would be required?

I'd say there's a good chance that there's more to the story (either known or unknown) though.

Guy starts a short handed and short lived game so you can gut the fish.

Not enough?

How much did you and the others take off the fish compared to how much the house/dealers made?

Casino not there just for you to make money.

When a game starts, and quickly breaks, it *is* bad for business.

When a game breaks, the players leave;
If you don't start that game, the players on the list will hang around all day long.

I've seen it 100 times. People on the list wait two hours for a seat. People from a broken game don't wait two seconds, they split.

That's why floormen are reluctant to start games that are sure to break quickly.

FWIW, I understand the general reluctance to start new games, but it seems in this case, I think the floor could have made an exception due to the committed players willing to play short and that a table was all ready to go.

The fact that the original fish ran out of money isn't really anybody's fault. It would be different if one player changed their mind and left.

Showing some appreciation to the floor the first time might have been helpful. Especially since it worked out so well for the OP. You need to overcome the existing negative factors to get a new risky game going.

This is stupid. They just want to switch the game and limit. If the floorman was trying to start a different full game then I could understand, but otherwise the OPs game just breaks and there is 1 less raked game. I understand that they will only be dropping a dollar, but the floorman needs to have a better reason than I dont feel like it, or its too much work I have already done enough for you.
