I'm a semi-pro winning player logging about 120hrs cash and 3000+ hands online. I have lived in the Seattle area most of my life but I frequently go to Vegas and random poker tour stops to grind.
I was excited when Fortune opened bc it was closer to my house than all the Indian casinos and it looked good.
Pros: Food and cleanliness. Calling stations. Attentive food service attendants. Promos.
Cons:
- Colusion is real! The players try to hide it but they're not that good at it and I've seen a few things in my time. (Soft playing, card tapping, hand gestures, etc.)
- Dealers. They try but often times they miss things (missing a chop pot, miss dealing the hole cards, bringing the river before the action is complete, not counting out the bet=not getting the player calling to put in the proper amount into the pot, killing hands incorrectly, not wanting to show the table an exposed cards)
- Safety. Parking lot is moderately lite up but no security is ever seen. I only bring two bullets with me and find a couple of people to walk out with after a session.
- Management. House rules constantly vary with dealer and floor boss. Line rule, string bets, verbal declarations, mis-deals, etc.
I have been profitable here but there are too many negatives for me to frequent this room. Promotions are good but they don't offset the extreme negatives in this room.
