Obviously they are not going to run them during times when they are normally busy and might have to not add cash games until it plays out.<br /><br />That said, getting up to play poker that early is crazy. Next time I play it, I'll just arrange to pull an all nighter!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-30360837214594810202014-09-08T08:45:27.608-07:002014-09-08T08:45:27.608-07:00Ben, regarding the tournaments, I did think of one...Ben, regarding the tournaments, I did think of one problem they may have with the clocks. In their current location, they don't have many TV's, and it just may be impossible to use another one for a second clock. If their remodel ever gets done, and they ad more TV's, maybe at the same time they'll pay someone to reprogram the Bravo clock so that they can use it for two tourneys simultaneously.<br /><br />Interesting, the time I had the same experience at M Resort, they also used the same Bravo clock that Aria, Venetian, and MGM use.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-88460273980574203372014-09-08T08:42:17.958-07:002014-09-08T08:42:17.958-07:00Heh heh...there are obviously plus and minuses...b...Heh heh...there are obviously plus and minuses...but remember, this blog is now filled with fun, crazy, funny sessions that took place at the NL table, not just the limit table.

Maybe they think people will have lunch in the hotel, blah, blah. Obviously, if it isn't organised properly, people will vote with their feet, unless they are just promo miners. If people are leaving straight afterwards, this won't last long.<br />As for the software, the Aria and the MGM user the same tournament clock software, (as does nearly everywhere else), so a multi clock is possible. Sounds like a training issue. mrben09https://www.blogger.com/profile/10998071037735403332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-48630314814828744352014-09-08T00:58:50.724-07:002014-09-08T00:58:50.724-07:00Excellent point, Nappy, I hadn't thought of th...Excellent point, Nappy, I hadn't thought of that. Really makes no sense not to count hours on Sunday, especially since they are bringing them in for the freeroll. After all, they do count hours on Friday and Saturday their biggest days.

Kind of silly to set it up this way.

Well, I ...Thanks very much Anony, I appreciate it.<br /><br />Well, I actually did a post called "The Difference Between Limit Poker and No Limit Poker" BUT.....it was mostly about the social action, not the poker itself, and it served to set up my first really popular post, my first meeting with my now good pal, Prudence. Here's the link to that:<br /><br />http://robvegaspoker.blogspot.com/2012/01/difference-between-limit-poker-and-no.html<br /><br />Now, I never really did posts SPECIFICALLY about the differences, but really, the whole first year my posts about NL games I played really cover that topic, directly or at least indirectly, you can read those and see how I learned and adjusted to NL.<br /><br />What I would suggest you do is click on the label I have "No Limit". At the time, I thought it would be so rare that I labeled all the posts where I played NL (either cash or tourns) that way. I've stopped doing that since I play NL pretty much exclusively now, but the old posts with those labels are still there. Click on that label and read the oldest posts first, I think that might be what you are looking for.<br /><br />Good luck!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-54599470269746507542014-09-07T20:24:30.891-07:002014-09-07T20:24:30.891-07:00Been following for about a year, great stuff!
