Five Diamond Petition Failure

[BigRiskky]

I just heard back from the Bellagio on the Petition to change there April schedule. They have decided not to make any changes at this time.

I know I will not be playing this series, but I will de looking into other Casinos using the proposed schedule i presented Bellagio. It is as Follows:

8-10 No Limit Hold-em Freeze-out tournaments Ranging from $500-$5,000
4-6 No Limit Hold-em Re-buy tournaments Ranging From $500-$1,000
2 Pot Limit Omaha Re-buy tournaments one $1,000, and one $3,000-$5,000
1 Limit Omaha Hi/lo tournament ($1,500 was a huge success in Dec.)
1 HORSE tournament ($5,000 was also a huge success in December)
1 No Limit hold-em Heads-up event

Please post any imput or thoughts you have on the subject.

Where is the Bellagio?

If this Bellagio establishment is actually a real place why would they NOT use that genius schedule you proposed?!

Thanks for the effort on this Scott. I signed the petition and I def. won't show up for any of this mess. I didn't think Bellagio turnouts could get much worse, but this series should prove me wrong.

Sorry to hear that Scott, I will also be skipping the Bellagio series now as a result. Thanks for making the effort though.

If you want my personal thoughts on your current proposed schedule, I'm curious as to why you think a PLO Rebuys in the range of $3,000-$5,000 is a good idea. I don't see such a tournament pulling in enough runners for the hosting casino to take it seriously in the lineup. IIRC the $5k PLOr at Bellag only drew 1 table worth of players?

I would prefer something more along the lines of a $500r/$1kr, and a sixmax freezeout between $3k-$10k hinging on however many runners you anticipate at the given buyin.

probably because Scott is a PLO GOD and would pwn that tourny

This. Also Scott, aren't you Canadian? The Niagra casinos could use some more tournament series action iyam. Approach some of them.

You are very correct, I will make sure to note this. I put this in because of the prizepool Bellagio got last time. It was a smaller field, but it did get 19 players with 48 rebuys, for a healthy prizepool.

I am not Canadian, but live close to the Border in WA State. If I can help get more tournaments there in the future, I will sure try.

Isn't this part of the reason they decided to go with the all-rebuy format?

He is also not so so shabby at the LO8 variety or PL08 and jsut took down the triple stud at PCa but did not propose these as additions to the schedule. Think Scott did out of concern and love of the Bellagio not selfish reasons.

It's pretty much exclusively why, aswell as the good turnout from the 1kr NL.

The worst analogy I can come up with right now is it's like serving an 18 course meal, and when hearing of how everyone raved about the Foie Gras, insisting that the next meal be 18 servings of Foie Gras.

I agree that the rebuys were a success, they need to tweak how they do them for time concerns( the addons took an hour), but I thnk you lose a lot of the Bellagio regs by making it exclusively 1k rebuys.

Thanks highland Fox, I do enjoy playing at Bellagio, and make it to every one of there events. I also really enjoyed the rebuys, and would like them to continue running some every series.

[MaverickUSC]

Not playing. WTF Bellagio. Jack have you lost your mind?

[FatalError]

i actually might never play at the bellagio again, i used to like it there too

edit: maybe hard rock would run your series?

[highlandfox]

I would of defintiely considered coming out it it was similar to the December schedule but now probably doing NAPT Mohegan since its a 3 hour drive and will have fields of more than 30 mostly competent players. Is actually asking that question neccessary Devo?
