The waiting list to play $2/5 with Andrew Neeme and Brad Owen is 51 queues long. I already put my name there. 41 queues left.
Been waiting for half an hour. I'll keep waiting. My real intention is to have a short interview with him. But I don't know if he'll agree. I've talked with him about this before in Facebook and he said he'll do. But there are so many people here waiting to play with him. I arrived here on time. I didn't think there would be many people like this. There were already people waiting before me. I'll wait for a chance. I've talked with Andrew and he said if at the end of the session he is not drunk from drinking too much beer, he'll give me an interview. Let's hope he won't be drunk. Walking around the casino to kill time. Half an hour has passed trustly casinos Ireland. the same 41 people waiting.... I already put my name on the waiting list at $1/2. I'll play whichever comes first. Eventually.... Hi guys, it's the review time of hands from today. Today I went to play the meet-up game of Andrew Neeme. And the even more surprise is that Johnnie Vibes was there and also CzechRaiseCharles too. They are youtubers. They have a lot of subscribers and quite popular here. I think he probably be in the Top Ten of poker youtubers. After I arrived there, I had to wait like 2 hours before it's my queue to play $2/5 with them. When I finally got a seat at the table, there were no player that I know. And those youtubers were not yet at the table. People at the table are the ones who play regularly. Let's get to the first hand. Hijack open raises to $15, Cutoff calls. I call on the Button with 62 of spades. Normally, I am a tight player but in this hand, I was boring and just wanted to play some hands and I think I quite understand the player in Hijack and have a read on him. He is an aged man, 50-60 years of age. The rest folds. The flop is K-6-2 with 2 hearts. The king is a spade. Hijack c-bets for $25, Cutoff folds. I decide to raise to $65 with 2 pairs. When he makes the call, I think that this man probably has Ace-King or Aces. The turn comes the 7 of spades. I pick up backdoor flushdraw. He checks and I barrel $130. He calls. Still think that he has Ace-King or Aces. The river is the Jack of diamonds. He checks. I decide to bet $235, a slightly over half-pot bet. He didn't take much time and said if you got 2 pairs, it's your lucky day. That sounds like he's gonna pay me off knowing that I have him beat. He throws $235 into the pot. I show 6-2 suited. He said "that's not 2 pairs that I expected you to show. I thought you had K-J." Yea I scooped the pot. After that, we've been playing. The table has a lot of actions going on ,like bombing the pot, often.

Good morning! It is almost 6 am now. The plane will be taking off at 8 am and I'm going to the airport. Alright catch you up in Vegas!
I'm in Uber heading to airport, and there is one dude going to Vegas with us. This is Dodo. We're gonna stay together there. While we're waiting for the connecting flight, let's talk about what I plan to do when arrive in Vegas. On 22nd and 23rd of June, I will be playing a tourney at Venetian. The name of the tourney is "Monster Stack" $400 buyin, kicking off at 12 pm. If I could manage to get through the first day, I will also be playing on the next day, which is 23rd of June. The second tourney that I will be playing is WSOP. The tournament is on 24th, 3-day tourney. $1500 buyin. The name is also "Monster Stack". But the starting time is earlier than the one at Venetian, around 10 am. For the rest of my trip, I think I will be playing Cash game in different casinos. That's all of my main plan. I've not yet planned the rest of the trip. This will be a 10-day trip. But I will be playing for only 7-8 days, and taking some vacation around the city for 2-3 days. I'll try to update my situation as fast as I can. and I will try to make this video as best as I can. See you in Vegas. Hi y'all! Now I'm in Taxi terminals. We'll take Uber to the hotel, and there will be an older friend of mine who will help me book the room. He's got Diamond card which can receive a free room. It is lucky for me to know such a good friend. Catch you up in Rio. Hello brother. Brother Pok say something to Youtube. Hello everyone. This is the Diamond card. So cool. Pok: It's not easy to get this you know. James: You must have been paying quite heavy amount to get it, right? Finally get there. We arrive! This is "Rio", the place where WSOP is held. Also, it is the place where the world's biggest poker tournament takes place. The room's design is what you've already seen. The plan for today is just to play cash game. Actually I have a meet-up game with Andrew Neeme and Brad Owen at Westgate casino. The game will begin at 5 pm. Now is 1 pm. So, I've got some time for sleeping and preparing for leaving in 1-2 hours. We're on the way to Westgate casino. Taking uber. It takes only 5 minutes from Rio. Very covenient. At first, I wanted to keep this as a surprise for you guys. I got a chance to come to a meet-up game of Andrew Neeme and Brad Owen. Also, Johnnie Vibes will be there. He just started doing poker vlog. not sure whether you guys know him. These 3 guys will be playing with us. There are many guys waiting to play with him. There are 6 tables opened, $1/2 2 tables and 4 tables of $2/5. Don`t forget that the major annual events in our global field are in London and Las Vegas. Wear the Green Hat when acting as a Teacher / Trainer To be a good trainer you must be first a good student. Thus, the first condition to teach others is for them to be convinced of having things to learn from you. A good trainer is characterized by: The Knowledge he has The professional and training abilities The opening of sharing his knowledge The training method and tools His experience, charisma, reputation, language How up to date he is with the latest news Never stop learning and stay informed about the latest casino and related news Always strive to be better, know more and apply the new things you`ve learned. For marketing actions to be successful, it is necessary to be communicated to colleagues involved in their execution, but this is not enough any more. They need to understand their role, the best way to perform these actions and, last but not least, contribute to general success.
For example, there is no point in advertising, promoting or giving prizes if the way the staff is working for the customers is characterized by low quality colleagues need specific training for each department: casino operations - games and live slots - reception, casino hosts, F & B, even security and surveillance. In general people remember: 10% of what they read 20% of what they hear 30% of what they see 50% of what they hear and see in the same time 80% of what they say 90% of what they say and do in the same time The Blue Hat belongs to The Expert One of the strategies that lead to success is specialization and focus on a limited field in order to become the customers` first choice. Similarly, a marketing manager who specializes and becomes an expert is an asset of the casino. My recommendations in this regard are: Understand the principles of games and casino activity Understand how a casino works as a whole and what are the interactions between departments at all levels. Understand the challenges and skills required for all casino jobs Whoever thinks it's easy to be a roulette dealer should be able to calculate in mind: 35 x 19 + 17 x 21 By the way the result is 1022 as I use to be a roulette dealer long time ago! Identify the main success factors fpr casinos and how they work in your casino. Understand the specificity of casino marketing marketing and how our classic marketing and management tools and methods apply in our field. Inform yourself about developments in your field technology, IT, communication, internet, they all have an extraordinary dynamics and if you don`t follow them you will not be able to take advantage of the benefits their development offers. Read everything you can about marketing and casino marketing Make the effort to correctly and objectively evaluate yourself This is not an easy thing to do Perhaps you did not know, but 84% of French men consider themselves "above average lovers" and 93% of American students think they are "above average drivers". Unfortunately, mathematics disappoints them both because only 50% can be "above average". These are the 7 hats that casino marketing managers wear the most often There are certainly other hats too but what I wanted to convey is a simple idea: marketing is an essential aspect of any business and even more of a casino business. It is a combination of art, method, logic, talent and inspiration, and, in order to be successful in this field of activity one needs determination, passion and effort . Finally, I included in my presentation 7 quotes from 7 authors from whom I had very much to learn. The 8th quote is my choice of answer to the main question for this year's Forum: How to attract new players? And in this respect the answer is no longer a secret and I am referring to John Romero , the author of two great books for our field of activity: Casino Marketing and Secrets of Casino Marketing “Driving casino traffic is an art dominated by promise, clarity and brevity” . Thank you all for your participation and thanks again to my team who inspired me and helped me to organize this presentation, which you can also find on www.andreifrimescu.ro |
