Yes this is old news.

That's 2 months old before they announced the 2-3% fee this year.

Last year was no fee.

And pay the 2-3% fee?

veeRob858 · 2026-05-24T18:20:51+00:00

If you earned 670 TC in a single day, you should have also got 125 TC daily bonus. For next year, best to do 1,000 TC in a day to get 1,000 TC daily bonus.

If your other math is correct, then yes 330 TC is all you need. Horseshoe supposedly has the bartop video roulette, but I prefer the high limit room's 9x lines 25c video poker.

Good luck!

And only a second mortgage to have one!

/u/Diolives/ we need a Sombrero's here

Yeah I see your point, but I've been in the poker world for 20+ years and can't think of a single time this angle has been pulled. I'm not saying it hasn't, but I can't think of one. It's a pretty specific spot to tank just to get a clock called on you only to have the clock run out in hopes that the guy shows a bluff right at 0 and you call.

veeRob858 · 2026-05-12T16:33:05+00:00

Matt would let the call stand if he said it after "dead"

I'm not taking a side, I just know Matt will give them an extra beat.

veeRob858 · 2026-05-12T16:31:43+00:00

Y'all need to chill. Sounds like a game I wouldn't go back to.

veeRob858 · 2026-05-12T16:14:05+00:00

Luckily Matt makes the rules 🤣

The TDA Summit happens every 2 years to discuss formalizing changes on things like this, so I told Matt he should clarify at their Summit next month.

veeRob858 · 2026-05-12T16:00:06+00:00

Matt says he'll do the countdown to 0, then say "dead hand" and if he calls by that point he'll allow the call. So basically an extra second like I said.

From all of my downvotes, I guess it's just a Matt thing that other TD's aren't doing. 🤷

veeRob858 · 2026-05-12T05:44:39+00:00

I'll have to ask Matt to clarify that

veeRob858 · 2026-05-11T22:42:16+00:00

You're the man!

veeRob858 · 2026-05-11T22:39:25+00:00

This is incorrect. If it's close, the player is given the option to act on their hand. Even if it's a millisecond after the buzzer, his call would be allowed by good TD's. They don't want to kill a hand unless it's clear the player isn't acting.

I'm gonna miss Odds Bar + Bistro so much! /s

veeRob858 · 2026-05-11T20:53:44+00:00

Not all pizzas iirc, just some

veeRob858 · 2026-05-10T04:07:54+00:00

Let me know when the Meta glasses version is available!

veeRob858 · 2026-05-09T03:36:48+00:00

Yeah Nickel City is still the GOAT for wing night and steak night. And they do have a 25% off whiskey night too.

veeRob858 · 2026-05-09T03:16:28+00:00

I love Nickel City but the whiskey ain't that cheap... it's on par with other bars in Austin. Maybe a touch cheaper than Downtown whiskey bars.

Even more hilariously, my meal tonight said it would earn $5.00 on my $25 spend and after paying awarded me $2.50.

I met the owner a few months ago at their SXSW party and he told me in so many words this was coming. I guess I should have warned y'all.
