COLDEQUITYFREEROLL wrote a review about Grand Sierra in Reno, NV

Still a definite 5

Maybe some or my previous reviews were a little harsh.... I can't expect everyone to be as intelligent as myself and therefore I feel an added level of forgiveness is called for here.
20 years of professional poker
To be fair I'm really not solely upset with this poker room as this had happened to me all my life... I show up on the scene and the other players pretty quickly see that I'm going run the game over Day in and day out... and they start to think hmm what can we do it's not fun just losing to this guy time and time again.
So they do what people do best they complain lol which is normal human nature and maybe the floor just gets so tired of listening to the endless whining they finally say o my God I cannot listen to this anymore and even if I haven't violated any rules they decide to pass on the disrespectful attitude on to me.
I'm not a homophobe I've actually had quite a few gay friends.. Timorie, Weezy among others whose privacy will be respected.
Nick the floor man has a right to be an open homosexual male Sodomy is completely legal in the state of Nevada... as was decided by voters many years ago but I digress.

However when you work in the service industry.
However when you work in the service industry

A certain level of professionalism should be observed... I must say commenting to a customers girlfriend about his lifestyle choices and prior actions However immoral one thinks they are those opinions should be kept private...not made public
Also I do tip and show gratuity more than most low stakes grinders I would add However this didn't seem to do me any good as I was constantly confronted about what should be none issues....
I suppose because I play somewhat optimal game theory i am treated rather differently...
For example I witnessed many other players miss blinds and the game just continued with a player absent not a word was said about it...
Then when I had decided to skip an orbit to smoke use the bathroom (really shouldn't matter why I needed to walk away from chips) to re prepare myself to continue my poker session. I would quite often be confronted as if I had committed some crime and was very lucky the police weren't contacted.

This shouldn't continue... Thank heavens I did not that desperately need to continue making my income playing poker in Reno.

The beautiful thing about the internet and the first amendment is it matters not if one of my posted reviews is removed... another email another username another phone another IP address I can do this all Day long...
Endlessly.
I am not writing this to benefit myself but so that should another grinder like myself should show up on the scene perhaps they won't be mistreated as I was.
Let the fish make their little complaints heard that's fine that's freedom of speech...if you have such a problem wit players missing orbits why not pick them up sooner.

In many casinos throughout Mexico and Latin America 15 minutes and no longer at 16 minutes you are removed. Yuur stack is picked up Or 2 missed blinds if there is a list for the game.

Instead of constantly griping and moaning and being confrontational and threatening towards your best customers the ones playing the most hours and keeping your games full...why not change the rules?
I love to complain as many other poker players do...
Ugh why is the waitress 75? I don't wanna see that in a short skirt and low cut top. Can u please retire and be replaced Lotta unemployed 22 year Olds out there waiting to be hired for this high paying and desirable job.
I'm hungry why can't I get a dang pizza delivered.
Aww shoot Frank outplays me every time I come here I hate to see him walk in the door... that's normal human behavior
What in my opinion should change is how staff joins into this...
I don't know how many more reviews I'm going to write lol I'm retired very bored love to write and have ALOT of free time.
I was one of the hours leaders in this room for months.
I conclusion
Dealers VERY good I'd say certainly top 20% therefore worthy of 5 stars.
Food and drink not perfect but still better than some rooms I've played in eh 4 and a half sounds right.
Management hey sure they have their moments where they lose their cool but they're human and I do believe in forgiveness... still worthy of the 5 stars

This is a good poker room certainly better than the others in reno...the hours promotion is as good as it gets in modern times for a continuous promotion for a grinder.
I did enjoy playing here it just would have been alot more enjoyable if there wasn't always someone to try to make me feel guilty about what I was doing I did nothing wrong.
I guess throughout much of my career I was a blind dodger come in behind for free never post and people would sat "dude you're WAY too good or a player to b wasting your time with this"
