Caesars Poker Room to close for remodeling? mid July

If they have some screens with sports betting odds and a couple of betting kiosks, the profitability would go up.

I am the furthest you can ever become from a headphone wearing nit as you described it above, but appreciate it anyway

Dude, please dont take everything possible at a personal level on this forum. I have never played with you,so i have no baseline to judge if you are good for the game or not.

If you know within yourself you are nothing like the silent headphone/tablet grinders you have nothing to be upset about: the post wasnt about YOU, the main point was to highlight why the old PH room was so good in terms of game quality.

One of the reasons is that the silent grinders that is horrible for the game want to stay at upscale rooms like the Wynn or Aria.

Lots of room between tables. I hope it's a success.

Doubt it. They aren't putting slots up there instead.

BTW, H-shoe had 2 tables of 8/16 mixed going yesterday, maybe as a nod to Chainsaw's PHo series coming up.

No it’s been going on for a few weeks as a way for people who don’t like Holdem to qualify for 400K promotion

Caesars graciously accommodated them the great people they are

I adore the plastic trees...

Went over to check out the room tonight and play for a little bit. It is going to be a while till they get their feet under them. Lots of dealer error that seem like should not be happening. Hopefully it will not take too long for the staff to get there themselves up to speed. Hoping the best

I'll be in Vegas in July and have been excited to check out PH when I'm in town, but this hand from their $100 tournament that was posted on Reddit would stop me from playing there if I was in town sooner:

We both find it hilarious.

I am sorry you don't understand why.

You might want to rethink who changed their tune. There aren't playing for the 50 hours as you claim. They are already there.

I was in Vegas last weekend and talked to Aaron the overnight floor. He looked it up and it was less than 500 people who have qualified so far.

I told you and then you repeated most of it back to me. They aren’t sitting there waiting for a whale as you put it, in fact most of them would probably prefer not to play with someone always pumping the pot.

Now run along, school’s over

To each their own, I HATE sterile rooms, I loved PH the most when it was in the prior location, after they closed, Caesar's was my favorite. Gimmie a fun, lively atmosphere everytime over the morgue, wake-like rooms where no one talks and it's super clean Caesar's was the closest you could get to a man-cave style home game with the cups and cans all over, tables a bit too close together, and best of all the sportsbook and club right nearby. The parade of hotties every Thurs-Sun nights . . .

I'm not gonna insult you for your preference, just saying, there's a pot for every lid

I like to think I'm a better post-flop player than pre, so the $2 bomb pot NL sounds like something I want to check out, please tell us if you play it or hear anything about it

Caesars poker room opens Friday according to Bravo. 1-3 game is now $500 cap. 2-5 is massive with $500-$2000 buy in range. I love the $500 min buy but $2000 is deep.

Double tiers at 1-3 so will be interesting how much that affects the 2-3 at Horseshoe.

Nice!

The promo chasing nits hate playing deep stacked so the games should be good.

so Caesar's went from the lowest 2-5 cap to the highest?
odd. They never had more than 2 2-5 tables going during the heart of the WSOP so maybe they're aiming for more of them.

Every time I was in there playing 1/3, the 2/5 players were trying to rope me into playing in their games.

Wasn't born yesterday, bub!

Thanks for demonstrating my point about you obviously not understanding.

As for school. Try it sometime.

I get it, for me personally it’s just the smoke issue (and maybe it being out in the middle of the main floor). Best is probably a combination of both, like Aria.

Any such "fun" in the middle of casino floor rooms left? Bellagio(old and crowded), Aria(it never feels fun for me), Wynn/Ecore(is OK but it is in a quiet part of Encore).

Played at PH today and while the poker room is nice , i would have preferred it super loud ,where you can straddle from any position for any amount with guys showing up from a night at the club dumping a couple buy ins .

Room really is nice though, it's not lit up enough for mixed games but otherwise having the restroom right there is good .

Prefer the old location though

visited the room Wednesday night.

the overall room is very strange. it is very big and spread out, like way too spread out. feels like playing poker in a carpeted gymnasium or something. it's also in a strange location tucked away in a top corner or something, as if they found some spare space and threw some tables in. you can stand up and look over the main casino floor and there is some music but it felt pretty quiet. you are away from any smoke, which is good.

the cards and felt are a bad match. the card color matches the felt so it is easy to miss who has cards. also the felt and cards texture are a terrible match in that they don't slide well and it's hard to pull them up to look. the cards are also pretty ugly.

my first two dealers were terrible. like it was their first day ever dealing poker. isn't 10pm kind of a peak time? they were incredibly slow. they don't know how to count chips, they can't keep up with the action. how are they working in a Vegas Strip poker room? and why am I here instead of at Bellagio? their struggles also seemed to cause players to play very slowly.

my players card wouldn't scan at the table. it is one I rarely use and not damaged. in fact I don't think it was a card error, more likely operator error for not knowing the buttons process. after a few minutes I walked to the floor manager and he said he would enter it from up there, although it never updated on the table display.

I will say though, the chairs are very comfortable.

it was a negative first impression for me and with so many better options for poker Center Strip, I'm not interested in playing there again.

This is why I try to avoid punching down, but I corrected your lame negative post and then you basically repeated back to me the real reasons why the games aren’t usually any good.
