The games are probably still good but I would expect it to make the games worse (at least a little bit) if the local grinders are putting in a ton of hours in to make sure they get their $400. This is a bad thing for the fish and the tourists. <br /><br />I like the drawings promotion a lot better. It makes the room more fun for the bad players. Anybody can win and the fish are encouraged to chase so they can win those tickets. <br /><br />Steve007<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-5386377548304734642015-01-09T21:30:11.954-08:002015-01-09T21:30:11.954-08:00LOL....I suppose what Tony would say, Koala, is th...LOL....I suppose what Tony would say, Koala, is that he wished some room he COULD play in would have the exact same promotion, he'd love it, cuz he could probably play 100 hours a week in the same room, and thus get enough chips to sleep thru the freeroll.<br /><br />Problem is he'd have to set his alarm to wake up early enough to register, and as we know, pros like Tony don't believe in schedules.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-39808929230401588162015-01-09T20:00:35.218-08:002015-01-09T20:00:35.218-08:00This deal with MGM Poker Room is completely irrele...This deal with MGM Poker Room is completely irrelevant to you Tony as you are banned from MGM properties, so why stick you nose into something that will never affect you.

I've seen some weird things too with those drawing tickets, people not wanting them cuz they thought they wouldn't be around for the drawing, then regretting it cuz they would be when they got another ticket, etc.<br /><br />Weird that your guy rejected it just as the drawing was about to start....maybe he thought they were giving away a toaster?Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-41715881266515062142015-01-09T11:52:23.822-08:002015-01-09T11:52:23.822-08:00Rob, I was wondering if you were wondering what To...Rob, I was wondering if you were wondering what Tony thought about this MGM freeroll thing and by golly there he is with the first reply.

But as he had won a big pot, he didn't want the ticket as he was going to cash out (fine), tried to pass it on (not fine - and was told by the dealer). All good up until now. Apart from the fact it was 11.57 and the draw was at 12. This seem to confuse him. And he still didn't want the ticket. But he won another hand as he stuck around for the "ticket conversation". And got another ticket. That he again refused. At 11.59. Anyway the draw goes ahead, and 2 guys at my table won $100. And then Mr No Ticket asks how they got $100 delivered to the table, without cashing in a bill. Then he left, I think none the wiser !.

I know why. You can easily see yourself spending 75-90 hours in the same poker room every week, and just snooze you way to the money. For most of us, that's not possible, but it fits perfectly for you, so you like it.<br /><br />As I said, in that case, just hand out $400 to the 25 people with the most hours and not waste our time with the freeroll.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-7859114643630941752015-01-08T18:57:18.496-08:002015-01-08T18:57:18.496-08:00The new structure is much better and fairer.
