Observations From The Amazon Room

The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades (when playing Six Handed)

I am aging myself with the title, but I promise it relates to the topic.

I had an observation last year, which I chose to follow up on this year with actual data collection.

I think the six handed event has the most sunglass wearing players of any event on the Schedule. I know, I know…earth shattering stuff here.

So, I had someone get me a small sample. Of the 50 tables in the Blue section of the Amazon Room, 104 players were wearing sunglasses. Considering many of the tables were down a player, that would relate to just under 40% of the players wearing sunglasses.

What does that say about the players in this field?

Commerce Has Gas

Sometimes in this business, you get some funny press releases. Either ‘News’ that isn’t worth the cyber paper its not printed on, or releases written by folks who you get the idea may not have English as a first (or second) language.

So, it was with a little mirth that I opened my e-mail today and found this from the Commerce Casino in LA.

At least they’re owning up to it now
