Anyone know whats to be expected for limit games during the PCA? Id like to play some 40/80. Do they 20/40 games get more than one table?

doesnt really exist for midstakes. last yr there was a little two four, mostly bigger

bigger than 20/40? What was running?

PCA is primarily a NL tourney festival.

As previous poster stated there was some 2/400 or bigger, nothing like 20/40 or 40/80 flhe. There was also mix at 6/1200 and other high stakes.

Oh jesus 200/400? Prob a bit too much for me. Maybe Ill play round and try to win the blinds.

Information in this thread seems bad. The LHE capital of the world isn't going to have any 20/40 or 40/80 running during the PCA? Really?

Never mind. I thought we were talking about the LAPC. Disregard my post.

PCA trip report:

Kind of a bust. Poker room was deader than I thought itd be. Everyone was talking about how brutal the price gouging was and I heard that next year was the last year theyre doing it at atlantis because of it.

Never even got a second name on the 20/40 list. I did play in a pretty fun 2/5 NL game with chris moneymaker though, who was raising 200 plus literally every hand for a couple orbits. Never got anything to play with him though. He was a very nice and engaging guy.

I didnt play a ton of poker but I found the games to be pretty tough. It was mostly youngish guys like me with the occasional old whaleish dude. Even the old men were fiesty though. TONS of huge pre flop 3 betting and some really whacky hyper aggressive moves. By the end I was just short stacking and was getting it in pre and on the flop as big favorites.

Ate at Nobu which was cool. Me and my girl made some money playing craps. She actually rolled for like a solid half hour at one point, that was really fun. The whole place just felt too "resorty" for me though. Needed wristbands to get around and you could almost feel the disdain from the workers.

But the biggest thing was the prices. Just no respect at all. 5 dollars for a coke. 75 bucks for breakfast buffet. Im pretty price insensitive in general but it was ridiculous. When the taxi ride to the airport was somehow almost twice as much as it was coming from the airport all I could do was laugh. By the end I felt like I had been raped. I was like why dont you guys just hit me over the head and take my wallet, itll be quicker. That was for sure my last time going to Atlantis. They officially pushed it too far.

Yeah a half dozen years ago I would've liked to visit, but haven't heard anything but meh things since then so have never bothered to go. I'm sure the Bahamas don't miss me

$75 breakfast buffet? for one person?

atlantis has always gouged people, its just everyone was willing to put up with it because the PCA was great. now that the PCA is trash, it's not worth it anymore.

So Vegas prices then?
Doesn't seem like a problem.

Yeah, obviously that's not cheap, but it's hardly outrageous for a high end resort. I'm gonna guess that includes gratuity too.

I ate at that over priced buffet, but, I wore a path in the floor with so many trips ...
