The poker room. Just ask the floor manager of that what the bad beat is at the moment. I'm planning to go there in two weeks and want it to fallllll

Indeed. Last time I stayed at Revel, just a few weeks ago, neither of the telephones in my room had a dial tone, and half the bathroom lights didn't work. Revel's got bigger problems than towels.

Now -2700
But better story from a friend who is at a Maryland casino and just text me this story about a guy at his table:
A guy buys in here at $100 table with $400. First bet is $150 and he loses. Bets $200 next hand and pushes 18. Bets $250 next hand and wins. Has played at least 15 more hands and hasn't lost or pushed and kept pressing his bet. Now has about 12k in front of him.
UPDATE -- guy cashed out with 20k

ace..FWIW, if you get them sopping wet in cold water, the blood will come out much easier in the laundry. Just lay them in the tub with an inch of water next time; I'm sure housekeeping would appreciate it.

Revel ships its linen laundry out to a service. They don't do it in house. I think Ace's way of wrapping them in a clean towel is best for the housekeeper, much better than having to deal with sopping wet, slightly less bloody towels in the tub.

When I was 18 I had a job in a big hotel
on the cleaning crew. We would set up
tables for meetings and banquets and do
the clean up when it was over. One weekend
a soldier on leave from Vietnam stabbed
his girlfriend multiple times in a tub and
killed her. There was blood everywhere and
I lasted about 2min before I got sick.
Cut yourself shaving, Ace? Is that the story
you're sticking with?

You usually tilt over a lot more than 4700.

weekend. Thanks to you, they will all get
paid.

FFS Ace,
I'm a newbie round here. I don't want to hear such news of established members.
If you were playing for fun, stop p155ing around and do some APing. If you haven't been APing so far, isn't that the definition of going tilt?
Good luck mate. May the variance be with you.
Kudos for being honest enough to admit losing some.

Officially done with this place (unless the new owners woo me back)
So I bought in for 3k and thought I won 250. I pocketed the chips after coloring them in and took a stroll. Upon returning to play I saw I did not have 3250 in chips but only 2850. As I looked upon the chips quizzically while attempting to retrace my steps to determine if I had dropped a chip somewhere, was paid incorrectly or miscounted my chips when I colored in, a big boss I friendly with asked if everything was ok. I told him about my chip miscalculation and he offered to run the tape and show me stills. I told him that would be great. Upon review, they stated I was paid correctly and I thanked him for looking into it and stated I must have miscounted my chips. I then sat down and played a little and got back another 150 and, when I colors in, the floor person made this whole production of counting all the chips out loud for me so I laughed and asked if they were joking and they said no. They then told me I had been previously flagged in the system as a player who disputes payouts - WTF?!? Why tell me this now?
I'm going to take my gambling business elsewhere - I've never heard of such a thing

I have almost double the tier points needed for my Black card (even have enough for their secret "Radiance" level card (although by invite only and I have heard there are less than 10 people that were ever invited and I have no idea what perks come with it))
The new owners can either entice me back or I will play elsewhere
I have been one of their most loyal players and this type of customer service is exactly why they are in the position they are in

Is giving the player an actual explanation for things like that typical? I would've expected something like "There was a potential miscount earlier so we're being extra careful." or some other generic excuse that didn't say "It's because you're an idiot." so bluntly.

I'm sure it was the recent video and photo experience which triggered a most likely automatic notation in the computer. It's no big deal. Who ever knows what people actually put in your records, but a surveillance request most certainly causes a record to be kept of it.
