False advertising at Binion's?




They shouldn't keep me waiting for a table at Binion's; I just use the time to find things to criticize and make fun of.

This sign conveys the impression that if you take the daily poker lesson at Binion's, you'll be able to play like a pro.

But it doesn't quite promise anything, if you read it carefully. It just says, "Now you can learn to play like the pros." It doesn't say that the lesson they provide will teach that to you. You might have to learn to play like the pros from a book or from the Internet or from private lessons or from hard experience. But you can learn it, somehow, somewhere, and Binion's won't stand in your way!

Seems to me that ALL poker rooms offer poker lessons anytime you sit down at the table. You may not "learn to play like the pros" in these lessons with buyin-sized fees, but at least you're getting an education.
