A $500 6 max with a $100 rake starting at 11 am (late reg until 4:30) and a $1500 50k guarantee with a $160 rake at 2 pm @MGMNH_Poker. Someone who understands tournaments @MGM needs to help this property out. What a disaster this entire property has become in so many ways.
@bmuelz@MGMNH_Poker@_ChrisMcCall_ It’s due to the $40 “voluntary staff add on” they sneak in that they don’t want to show as rake but that’s exactly what it is. You can technically buyin for $560 and get I believe a 30% reduction in your stack. This property is a disaster lately.
Big O tournament @MGMNH_Poker charging a 21% rake today. This $40 “Voluntary staff add on” they’re sneaking into the rake for every tournament is wildly insulting.
@EmileHirsch A lot of people on instagram romanticize a different life than the one they’re leading and relate to Into The Wild even if it’s subconsciously. Speed racer fan base is probably full of people who love online forums.
C'mon guys this is super misleading.
The actual fees being charged are ...
$315+85 on your $400s
$400+100 on your $500s
This reflects poorly on the entire MGM poker brand.
I'm going to have @ThePokerBoss look into this.
Thanks for alerting me to this

@DougPolkVids Some people want to comfortably have multiple max buyins at whatever stake they’re playing. It’s an ego defense mechanism along with understanding variance will be higher at uncapped. Dropping from 2/5 to a 1/2 uncapped game might dissuade some people when trying to rebuild.
Getting back on X has been quite entertaining this wsop. Has also made me realize that poker players think this is where healing trauma takes place. Go to therapy you rambling bums.
@Kevmath@PokerNews This is heartbreaking to hear. Matt was one of the best PLO players I ever had the pleasure to play with. He was always such a class act and I always enjoyed being at the table with him. Condolences to his family. Will miss you man.
@hubermanlab If you had someone summarize the main points and tips of your podcast I would listen to every single synopsis. I wish I had the capacity to soak up all of the information you provide.
@PokerStars I’m going to go with this one. First all in and at risk the whole tournament. Had a blast tho! What a great experience. Best run tournament I’ve ever played.
