I would have passed on the play myself. Did you calculate in your EV
assessment what time you would have had to show up to get a seat on
one of the preferred games? Sources tell me the jockeying for
position began at 0330, or roughly 6.5 hours before the promo
started.
I played the first day only & had no problem finding a seat on a $ 10/7 DB
machine at 3:30 pm. Played for 4 hrs then quit after $50 up. Very surprised that
the pros hadn't taken all the good seats.
Just curious what it was like Tue, Wed, etc.
BTW, if you participated in the promo, please go back & give them some
additional business, like stay in their nice suites, eat in their restaurants,
recommend them to your out-of-town friends as a place to stay, etc. This is one of
the few places with a good amount of fair VP & reminds me of a regret I've
always had of not supporting the Reserve more when it was the Reserve. I realize
the comp rate is not great but remember it has fair VP in a town where it is
dying. (Does anybody remember the comp rate at the Reserve?)
DISCLAIMER: my comments do not apply to pros or locals who have different
standards than out-of-towners & it's a can of worms that I'd prefer to keep
closed.
