Surely when things are a bit tough for people financially (as they are at the moment), gambling is the first thing to go. Makes sense they might be under some pressure.

Yeah, my brother accepted the redundancy and is getting ~$60k tax free, which works well as he's been saying for the last couple of years he wants to leave Crown.
In other news Crown are brining back cheaper buy in poker in some format shortly.

$1/$3
Min buy in: $100
Max buy in: $300
Rake: 75% capped at $300
Unrelated: I'm the new CEO of Crown.
300 full time dealers and 200 part time dealers accepted the redundancy payout.
It was more than Crown were expecting so they've now reserved the right to knock back some redundancies.

I’ve noticed recently that there are more Chinese players and a few that speak little to no English. This weekend I had 5 at my table and they were constantly speaking in Mandarin. Can’t say I have ever noticed such constant speaking in a foreign language amongst so many players at the same table.
An experienced dealer one table over castigated two Chinese players and another player said it was getting out of hand but that too many dealers don’t intervene. I got up and spoke to the AMs, played one more hand, decided I was sick of it so picked up and left. An AM did speak to the table as I was leaving.

Wednesday and Friday look not too bad
A few APL guys I talk to have played them
But I could not justify paying $125-150 at the start stack to blind structure ratio plus shot clock Monday and Tuesday do, rather play a $100-200 APL tournament and get a 100-150k stack and 15-20 minute blinds also

whats the go with this melbourne poker room starting up? 40 tables it says.. I am guessing it'll basically be targeted at high rollers/people with lots of cash

They can't run cash games when/if they open (Victorian gaming regulation doesn't allow it). So its just going to be a tournament hosting venue
