This is not 100% finalized, but it should give you a pretty good idea of when things will be.

Thanks Tristan. I am happy to see PLO on the schedule. Also, props on scheduling reasonable Day 1's on the larger tournaments. Playing more than 9 hours in 1-day is exhausting.

Here's the February calender:

Say Tristan-

I see you guys went with High Hand for the Wed-Fri promo, but I was just wondering what the comp is set at now since the Rackback promo is over? Back to $2 an hour like it was with the 24/7 Progressive board a couple months back, or back to $1?

Played at Running Aces 3-5 times a week when I went to school at the U of M. Such a great poker room, great staff and great dealers. The action in the cash games is awesome and there DS $150 and $250 tourneys have amazing structures for a weekly tourney. The ONLY issue I had with the card room is that there are A LOT of really good Minnesota grinders which made the cash games tough.

Overall, awesome casino.

How many players generally sign up for the $80 tourney on Sunday evenings, and how late does it typically go? Also, what's the blue chip bounty?

Usually around 50. Runs til around midnight. Blue chip bounty is a $10 bounty per player. We have blue $10 cash chips.

BWillie: we have "Timed No-Limit". They are a single table tournament that plays with $1/$5/$25 tournament chips that can be changed out dollar for dollar at the end of the duration (usually 3 hours). They are very similar to a no limit cash game. Also 2-100 spread.

The Saturday night $150 gets around 70-80 entries and has a $50 bounty on every player.

The Sunday $250 fluctuates quite a bit. Usually 30-50 entries.

I haven't been able to make it up to Aces since November so I missed the designated pick up times for the rake back check I earned throughout November. Do you think they will honor the rake back I earned throughout the promotion even though I missed the window designated to " pick up " the rake back earned?

i am just a weekend player, but i would think antes are too confusing in plo. also it would inflate the pots way too much ...

Hey Tristan,

Any idea what goes into the monthly coupons that go out?

Does it depend on what you play more? I sometimes get poker ones, and sometimes blackjack ones with a mix of food discounts.

I'd like to get more poker coupons ($10 add-on for example) instead of the blackjack ones.

Planning to play the PLO tourney (antes and all) myself on 3/6. Also considering the OFC tourney; from what I understand the starting stack for OFC is 20k, with the first level at 100 per point.

MEb: I'll have the HORSE and OFC fliers done soon. I have been trying to get them finalized.

inmyrav: Yeah, good point. Since PLO is still relatively new (in this area) for the dealers/players, I think that it would be better to keep it simple.

Pyrochaos: I'm not sure, but I will try to find out for you.

rzw: That is correct. 20k starting stack and starts at 100 per pt. 8 hands per level. Fantasyland will be included.
