People will only play pocket aces or kings. The only 4 or 5 sessions I've had in the past month, I play for 30 minutes and run into aces and lose. If it were only one or two of the sessions I would consider it my own fault, but it's literally every session. I don't see action otherwise. It's getting old and it just isn't fun here anymore, even playing recreationally on a weekend night. The room is @#$%, and the players are gigantic @#$%. The only remedy for this could be introducing tournaments, and the casino only has two planned so far for the entire summer. Dealers can be rude and unprofessional, and the most uncomfortable thing I experience here is dealers having a full on conversation with the regs they recognize at their table mid-deal; and they'll @#$% talk weaker players at the table when they get up, talk about bringing in fish to the ring ... like dude we get it, we know how poker works, and openly talking like that scares those action-giving players away, especially in Boston ... it's like Mac in always sunny when he openly tells the gang he's playing both sides ... you don't do that or need to ... Then these dealers throw a tantrum when they don't get a tip after doing something absolutely bonkers like that. All in all, this poker room is an absolute mess. At this point, I really don't think there's any way to save it or make it better for the average player, but I hope I'm wrong.
