    Same, though, beyond the limits I'd like to know if they had one in general and of course, part of scouting is keeping your eyes peeled for everything. What are the restaurants in the place? How many BJ tables are there? Do their "action" or "handling" procedures different form your normal places, etc. etc. etc. infinitude. All things I'd want to know before ever sitting down at a table, much less buying in for 2 grand.

    I agree. They often have the same limit in the HL room that they offer on the main floor, but you have increased chance of playing heads up of with only one other player. The downside is that they tend to have greater surveillance over the HL room games.

    Why weren't chips going into your pocket when you were losing? It's expected that your chip stack shrinks when the dealer is taking your chips.

    Acting: "(muttered profanity) I am not going to give up $500 without a fight... I'm getting my money back."
    Dealer: "Change $500."
    May the cards fall in your favor.
