Are your reporters on drugs, or paid off by the B?

Here are 2 different posts from another site regarding the B.

"The Bellagio Poker Room has become a complete joke! What happened to integrity, honesty and protecting the tourist/novice? The B staff has their favorites and "ran off" so many of their local players it is ridiculous. The B has a terrible comp system, the only major poker room in LV without a electronic board showing the waiting list (or beepers to call people to the room), Staff that makes inconsistent rulings (see posts below) Dealers that are not properly trained, The B poker room is just a mess and it is the only place to play higher poker in LV. Doesn't say much for LV does it!"

Post #2

"The Bellagio is in the midst of its premiere event the WPT Championship series.

Event number one the $1500 buyin nl event drew just over 100 people. In past years this event had a line stretching as far as you could see at the buyin window, had overflow tables in the main poker room, and had a list of alternates waiting to get in.

Todays 5K nl event drew a whopping 27 players a total of 3 tables were in play in the entire Fontana room.

Right now, the only tourney competition is coming from the Venetian, yet the Caesars Palace circuit event starts in a few days as well..."

The B has lost its players, has very few live games. Not good. I recommend the Venetian.

ehm, do you even read what is said in the article?

They just give a reason as to why there is less online action on the high stakes on FT... among which is the fact that The Big Game was going on.

I need a girlfriend who loves me for my money... and is pretty bad with math.

Another brainfart, MtMike?

Don't you have anything better to do than trolling around on Pokernews?

I mean, I'm sure that the Bellagio has a horrible comp system for regular players and all, fact is that they are the only one to have a 3000/6000 game going.

There is more to poker than being a groupie or a wanna be. Your site starts the article as if these high stakes players are all poker is about and the B is the place to be. Look at the B tournaments counts and the room. The rebuttal I placed says enough.

Who cares about the 12 high stakes players trying to eat off Guy?

Your site has the same 4 people continuing cheering on internet poker who have no clue. Internet poker has no regulation, recourse, oversight, no accountability to anyone.

One can be certain, where money is involved, someone will always being trying to cheat ya out of it. With internet poker involving countries all over the world "hackers" may exsist, why would the internet cut their own throat and report such. Who governs the internet?

The players on the internet do not know if they are playing a "program" designed to play perfect poker, or a setup designed to get the cash players.

There is no way to know if players are legal age.

There are so many reasons. Now the wannabes are following a 3k/6K game where most the players got wealthy off one player (Guy) who can afford to lose and recreates at poker. What a lousy example to set for a site. Why not report the truth/

Keep catering to your 4 cheerleaders or are they just shills used by the site.

Dude, STFU, the article is called RAILBIRD review, railbirds DO NOT look at lower stake players, railbirds ARE ABOUT the high stakes....

really, are you actually able to read an entire article and understand what it's about or do you just pick one word in it and rant about it?

I understand Railbird Review - have you ever been to the B and Bobby's room? Why promote something that is untrue and unaccessible.

As stated, who cares about a few high limit players who piece themselves out, play partners in the game, trying to break the "live one".

How naive are u not to know what is going on in the game with the players.

Why not print the truth! Savers, pieced out, team play.

MtMike, your situation awareness is lacking. Big time.

Enjoy your break. Instead of posting here ... you know, build some more tin foil hats or something.
