No point continuing to grind at Encore when its clear they aren't going to make it any easier by way of better rake, better player experience, or doing anyhting to grow the games. New money is always needed and outside of peak times it can be pretty stagnant at 2/5 NL. After them going to 10+2, and then the drink stuff (they pulled both back right away) I saw a significant decrease in my player experience and as people have said the games are beatable but I have noticed them becoming slightly worse and the scene seems a bit stale.

After having spent over a week in Vegas, I can no longer play the cash games at Encore.
