The last one I played in was the 125 buy in with the 75 add on and it only had 17 people or so and only paid 3 spots. Horseshoe gets very good fields on there Thursday 220 freeze out anywhere from 40-80 people and 1st place sometimes gets up to 7 or 8 grand.

Your talk about Boomtown is making me want to try them this week, but I don't want to mess up what I have going. I am steadily increasing my bankroll by 3-4 hundred dollars every session.

Excuse the stupidity, but is this just another way of saying no rebuys?

Well I havent been there in awhile and I talked to a girl who works up there and says there have been a lot more players. If you want to get into the tournament scene Id recommend playing up there the buy ins are cheap and the field are easy. I probably cashed or won about 10 out of 20 of the ones I played. The other cool thing is they will run sit n gos all day long as long as you can get 6 people to play.

You're lucky your 10k got wired to Harrah's. I'm sure you've heard about the DoJ freezing about $33 million in online money. I've been in vegas for about 2 weeks now for the series and its all everyone is talking about. That and a Harrah's employee I know who works in accounting that said there was a chance some of the online qualifiers might not get to play b/c of the 10k not getting wired through.
Good luck in the main event.

Ugh, don't get me started on that. I play like a fricking world beater for an hour and look over at the dumbass who pushed on the first hand, got four callers and is now sporting a stack 6 times as big as mine.
ETA: Then he goes and buys the add on

I recommend always buying the add on one time I didnt and it cost me a shot at the tourney. The extra chips would have kept me from feeling I had to shove with a weak ace.

Played the $1500 on Saturday, went deep. Busted late in level 10, didn't make the money. Playing the $1500 tomorrow and the 2k on Thursday. Also bubbled the $340 nightly at the Rio last night. Satellite are real soft. Shipped a $275 the other night and the cash games are going well.
Dude Nelly, the rapper, was crushing the satellites the other night. Hilarious

Thanks man. I talked to his bodyguard for a while. It was extremely entertaining. I asked him what happens when he has to beat someone's arse for Nelly. His response was "They don't get up."
Also, all the big time "pro's" are broke b/c of Ivey winning those bracelets. Degens

He was there last Wednesday. His wife was getting on my nerves a bit, but he was playing his usual style. Bet anything with any two cards. Except he was hitting. He bought in for $200 at 1:30am, and was up to $1500 when I left at 5:30am.

How many chips did you start the 1500 with? I dont remember from last year I just remember it wasnt a lot.

He is nuts. I have seen him get up big and piss it all away several times. I remember once a guy raised to 25, 2 other guys called and jimmy called and I was in the big blind with QQ and 115 in my stack so I shoved it folded around to him and he asked me if I wanted him to call and I told him no and he threw it away. I figured I would take the double up with no confrontation.Posted on 6/16/09 at 3:11 am to PokerChamp21
You get triple the chips this year and they added 2 levels. So 4500 for the $1500's, 6000 for the $2k's, etc, etc. In my opinion its a good structure, but not absolutely great. Now the main event has the best structure ever made. 2 hour levels. Antes don't increase every level. It's unbelievable.
Posted on 6/16/09 at 3:11 am to 9Fiddy
and yeah his wife is kinda loud and annoying she sat down next to me once and slammed into to me trying to make extra room for herself.

That sounds a lot better. Definitely going to try to make it out there next year.
