Rob I have 1 tremendous advantage over yourself,i never have any intention of willing an AVP event. i personally just attend,meet and greet,Clem i am sorry i did not attend as i want to meet you finally:(. for me its like a Dodgers game,we show up about 3rd inning stay till 7th inning and leave. for me its more a social experience to meet new and old,hey wait i am 52yo now and retired!!,people from the AVP board. sir enjoy the experience,pizza,rake free and enjoy yourself. Life is excellent enjoy.
Since my name got included I will say my two cents. Chris has to run a room and I don't think you stop a cash game to put the tournament on a table closer to everyone else. They have 15 tournament tables I believe for the tournament and they put everyone as closely together as they could. It is just how the chips fell so to speak.
As far as LVMichael, yeah I wasn't happy to see him move off the table. I think he should have just played that table and maybe that table breaks first.
The fact that we got down to 7 players could have happened at any tournament. Not sure if Rob has played that many tournaments, but you really just ask for the floor at that point and it can be corrected, which it was.
I've actually played in quite a few tournaments, Clem. And in some of them I've actually played more than two hands.
I never said anything about the table getting down to 7, and the person who was actually complaining about LVM not staying at our table was you.
My only issue was that location of our particular table was the worst in the room, although obviously, one table has to get that distinction. What bothers me, and I reiterate that is a very minor issue, was that I got assigned to a different table and then just as the tournament started, I got sent to the one we were at just because LVM happened to have someone else's reg slip in his hand when I asked him about it.
So I was actually penalized for being the third person to register, early last week. The table assigned to me was later changed to be designated a cash game, and they didn't make any announcement about the switch, I guess because, lucky me, I was the only one affected. And never in a million years would I think it would be a good idea to move a cash game just to switch it to a tournament table.
I wouldn't have even said anything but I was kinda reminded of the lousy table when I saw that there were no pictures of our wonderful little group on Facebook.
Actually I saw a picture of myself in the facebook group and it was at our table, the shot was taken from your side of the table.
Rob, sorry it was actually Coffin that made the comment about 7 players I think.

Actually, checking again, there are actually two pics from our table. One taken from behind me (which shows Clem) and the other shooting in my direction. However, I am cut out of the picture. I was sitting directly to the right of the lovely lady (Donna) who is in the far left of the picture.
Clearly what happened is that Jon (or whoever) cut me out because if he had included a picture of me, all the male members of AVP would be insanely jealous of my exceptional good looks.

Rob- Jon actually admitted to me privately that is the reason he did it. We don't want a bunch of jealous people on here taking shots at our valued members. No one should be penalized for their handsomeness!

I wasn't going to admit that, but I cannot deny the truth! Rob presents an unfair advantage to all of us single males...and we, as a group, voted to remove Rob's face from the photo so as to not eclipse the rest of us. Seriously though, I'm sorry that I didnt capture everyone's photo. I was just in a hurry snapping pics and trying not to blind off.

I have some good cameras, including a dSLR and a brand new superzoom. And I have experience with event photography (mostly conferences and sports). If I am able to attend another AVP event, I'd be happy to bring my (photography) equipment and take a bunch of photos (assuming whatever room we're in--and I hope it's the Mirage again--will allow it) and try and make sure everyone gets captured for posterity.

Next time we should get one of those printed backdrops with the AVP logo all over it so everyone can get their picture "red carpet" style!
Sensational idea, AG. And then, we should have Missing Flops do a video of the whole thing. Interview everyone as they arrive on the red carpet. I can't wait to hear poker players answer the question, "Who are you wearing?"
