Default Greektown doesn\'t suck (as much)

Ok, so I've been bitching about the 1-2NL game with a 100$ max buy-in at Greektown to everyone who would listen for a while now. However, I was just there last weekend and they have now added a 1-2 NL game with a $200 cap and you can rebuy up to 200$ at any time. This is a much more reasonable game than the piece of crap 50-100 min/max.

Please note however:

The majority of the dealers;
The Tables;
The Rake;
The Cards;
The Floor;
and management in general;

STILL SUCK SWEATY DONKEY BALLS!!

That is All.

Well, the games are loose as hell. Unfortunatly, they still have the 50/100 games running and lots of the uber fish still gravitate to those games. If they got rid of the 50/100, the 200max would go from pretty decent to fking awesome. (softness wise)

In four sessions there (4-6 hours each) I've run +400, -350, +250, +700. I would assume that is not a sustainable winrate, but with the exceptions of the +750 session, I didn't have any really unusual wins, just a steady 1-3 pots per hour.

The single biggest gripe I have is the fact that a couple of those dealers were only getting out 10-12 hands per down. And thats with the auto shufflers.

One truly crappy dealer was pitching the damn cards from about 6-8" above the table and then sending them on an upwards arc so that when they were in mid-air you could often catch glances off the bottom of the cards. Not enough to really see what they were, but enough to know if it was paint or not. Plus she flipped 3 cards in one down due to that technique. GRRRR.

Anyway, playing there is better than not playing, and I think better than the $7 per half hour that MotorCity charges, but there is still a hell of a lot of room for improvement.

One of the pitfalls of pooling tokes - crappy dealer performance.

i heard somewhere (probably on this board) that when teh mgm opens, it will have apoker room and dealers will keep their tips

as far as greektown:
do they spread any limit games higher than 5/10
why they hell do they spread 1/2 200 and 1/2 50-100?!?!?!
