Hello greetings from Venezuela, in your career as a professional poker player you have had a long bad streak where playing well you still lose?

Hello Leon, nice of you to let us know a little more about you through all those questions, here's mine :

-- I always hear that casinos don't really like poker and poker players that much because they don't make "enough" money in the poker industry and that they only have poker rooms in order to attract as many people as they can. Is that true ?

For Leon:
Q: Being the manager of a poker room in the newest hotel in Las Vegas must come with some growing pains. What is the one thing that has challenged the team the most since the room opened?
Q: You have hosted a number of unique events - the Cardplayer Lifestyle Mixed Games series (nice plug for Robbie), Zach's GWR World Record for the longest cash game session and more recently, Matt Berkey v Nik Airball heads up. Why does Resorts World seem to be so open to these types of events and what would you look to be involved with in the future if opportunities came about?
Q: There is a LOT of competition on the Strip for the recreational and tourist poker players. Why should players consider coming to your room?
