MGM National Harbor Resort & Casino (Oxon Hill, MD); FAQ in OP - Page 116 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Complete schedule still not ready... preliminary details, subject to change:

Potomac Poker Open, November 24 -December 4, 2017. Opening event, $565 no Limit, $500K guaranteed prize pool. Main event, $2,700 no limit $500K guaranteed. Possible hotel room deal for +/- 130ish per night at a local hotel...

Johnny -

1. Dates on the Main Event for the Potomac Poker Open firmed up yet?
2. When can we expect the official schedule for the whole series?
3. IMO, no more than 1 rebuy (or none) for events
4. Please don't stop the Sunday tournaments

5. Thanks for doing a great job!

-Mike

Main event dates: December 1-4
Very soon. Possibly next day or so.
Done. Single re-entry for each event/flight
Sunday event will be a staple going forward. Will likely grow the event next year...
The staff and I thank you.

I would imagine it won't be affected too much. We will have Sunday Ticket, and we have 45 TVs

I'm on the side of unlimited rebuys as well.

Say I show up on a Saturday or Sunday morning when the room starts filling up. If I wanted to wait and join a new table, would that be allowed? What about if I didn't want to be near the light from the balcony door? I know that to switch tables, I need to wait an hour, but what about those types of requests before I even start; is that allowed?

The tournament information for multiple tournaments in Bravo says:

Quote:

Players may purchase an additional $5,000 in chips for a $10 fee,

It should say:

Players may purchase an additional 5,000 in chips for a $10 fee,

These are tournament chips, not casino chips that are redeemable for cash.

A 99.9% chance it is already written into the schedule that way...

I believe that poker management should never say "dollars" when referring to tournament chips.

Just whining for a sec: I've played close to 100 hours at lucky seat/lucky table and have still yet to hit one. I'm due, right?

Definitely. Assuming a full room you should be hitting 1/35 or so times. Definitely due. You'll get it.

I hit the lucky table in my first hour ever at MGM, lol.

Yeah, I'm sure I will eventually. And I'd be sitting there playing anyway, so may as well have a shot at it.

Sure. It is like Roulette. Pick one number. Bet $500 on it. If you lose, try the same number next time. They even show you the history of which numbers hit to make it easier for you to pick the winners.

Casinos are so helpful at encouraging players to win when gambling against the house!

Are the promotion schedules going to be the same (or similar) for September?
