In for $500, out for $1,711. Decent table, good dealer, shitty chips

Looks fun! Always think it’s fake when I see cheap slugo chips on YouTube short videos with games that have thousands of dollars on the table. I figure they are just playing 5¢/25¢ with $5/$25 chips. Guess not! You all must be really good friends lol. Nice job on the win.

I truly hate Monte Carlos. Not only are they heavy as hell, they have a sort of sticky/tacky feel which gets worse if they are never cleaned. (Note: I doubt anyone has ever cleaned Monte Carlos.)

Terrible to shuffle.

This is a very loose and soft 1/3 game. Just play a strong range and take people to value town when you have it. If they raise the river, fold.

In for $40, didn’t make the cash. But the chips are getting broken in nicely!

Bad beat just hit at MGM Detroit. Losers share was $172k (that whole left rack), winner got $86k and the table share was $28k each slot of the right rack).

So they pay in chips - do they play? That would test the mettle of any hero call.

Yes, payout is in live chips. I walked into the poker room and there were 8 security guards standing by the desk... I figured someone was getting kicked out... nope, they were just waiting to hand out $431,000.

I was told the hand hit about 60 minutes before I got there. They gathered IDs, etc. When I sat down, they were calling names (most people went to play at another table to wait for the payout) having them sign, and giving them their share. One guy didn't have his ID. He was told he could come back any time and claim his share.

The only guy I know that tipped was one of the guys who hit for a table share. He dropped a $5k chip into the toke box. Of course, nothing higher than a purple fan go in to that box, so security has to bring a new toke box out.

Tipping 17% makes that player pretty damned awesome.

Yes
They pay in live chips, so you can blow all of them at roulette / puntobanco / blackjack ....

Moreover, do the live chips play at the table. Does the small stack go from $100 to $28,000?

No.

First, table stakes are $50-$300. Can't top up for $28k.

Second, I saw a couple of HHJs won. $500 every 20 minutes. The floor came over and handed the winner a purple chip, which went into their pocket, not into their stack.

First time playing my home game with these! Took this photo early in the night. Ended up winning the tournament. $210 in (with bounties) for a $45 buy-in.

Hit a set of 2s on a 2AQ flop. 5 way all in. Turn was kinda scary, A, but full house is good enough. Feels good.

Now that I look at it, I think the lady at the cage shorted me $5.

Isn't that $825 in the photo?


EDIT:
Oh... I get it. You have $825 in the photo and got paid $820. That sucks.

Maybe they rake at the cage, too. I wouldn't put it above them.

 

[WedgeRock]

She didn't rack check the rack and the full barrel and break everything else down?

I don't think her bosses would look kindly on a $5 mistake either way.

Did you tip her?

It seemed like she was distracted. I pulled her away from her solitaire game.

Did you tip her?

Sure did! Looks like $5 more than I intended.
