Im looking now at the tourney schedule. Looks like there will be a $330, $1080 for NLH and $540 for O8. I can never bring myself to pay such a big buy in for a tourney but these are really great starting chips. Does anyone know the structure for these? Maybe Royal Tour? Also if he reads this, what other daily tournies do you suggest? I am going to play Ceasars and Venetian for cash game also. I have never played at these two rooms.Edit: Also, my wife doesnt like me spending this much for a tournement either cuz I do so much better in cash games and have only won 1 100+ person tournement and FT only a couple of others.

Structure = Very good. I played in a Deep Stack in June last year. 540 entries, $330 buyin, 40 places pay...I busted in 42.Good structure, I lasted till about 11:00 pm (Started at noon). I plan on playing in one of these in June when I go out for the WSOP.

Do you remember how long the blind levels are?

Wow looks like Ceasars has a $150+25 at 7pm everyday. 5000 chips with 40min rounds. Anyone played in this?

[mx957]

I think the blind levels were 40 minutes, break after every three levels (so every 2 hours). I don't remember the blind level increments though. I didn't get short stacked until after dinner. I like the Ceasar's tourney as well. Cashed in it last year. It was a faster structure but had more "recreational" players in it to make up for it.

Hey,ya i'll be there all month rocking it!they wil be running satelites for most of these probably everyday.. they usually start the sat's by 9:30am. the deep stack extravaganza will be 10k starting, and I heard rumor of hour long levels. that would be sick. if they do it.also, venetian usually runs a daily 150.00 at noon. Its good. 7500 starting chips, and 30 min levels. plus 1 extra level of 100/200 the 100/200 with 25 anteand a 500+40 on friday & saturday's with 10 man sat;s starting at 130 with top 2 getting seats caesars tourneys didnt really do it for me. I found their structure a bit too quick. I tink the one a bunch of us FCP'ers played was a 120+30 daily. which is a ridiculous admin fee.the stack was 5k, and blind went up every 40 mins. but they doubled like 25/50 50/100 100/200 , 200/400, 400/800 ( I think)

ill be there for one of the 1ks a 500 and the main event!

Nice, I dont think I am going to play one afterall. But I am really interesting in the daily 150. My only question is will they still have it with the deep stack going on? My thought would be no. Do you know Royal? I was looking at that allvegaspoker.com and Venetian and Caesars seemed to be the best daily tourney.Also, can anyone recommend a good steakhouse in the TI/Wynn area that isnt super expensive? Im willing to pay up to $50-$60 a person not including drinks and stuff. Im buying for the group that we are going to be there with. I say it nees to be around the TI area cuz we are seeing the cirque show at TI, Mystere I think? I dont know, my wife booked it. Im paying for that too!! Man its good to be my friend!Thanks in advance.

They did not run the $150 daily(or at least last years equivelant) last deep stack extravaganza. The room is stuffed anyways with the deep stack tourneys. Maybe get up early and try a satty. Of course the day is a total right off if you go fairly deep. And I have heard good things abot Circus Circuses steakhouse(no sw)
