Can anyone confirm if this seat is indeed added or is it coming out of the prize pool?

Sweet. I won't have to get up at the crack of dawn to get there for the start (it's about 1.5 hr drive for me). Thanks! Get ready for my dead money heading up there.

The deep stack on Saturday of Labor Day weekend was giving the winner an entry to the TJ event. 99% sure I remember doing the math and the TJ entry was taken out of the prize pool.

Yup correct. IIRC the buy in was higher (215 maybe) to cover the added seat. Bur Choctaw didn't cover it, the players did.

I took 7th in this on 10/22, and I gotta say, it's an awesome format for such a cheap buy in. We only had 81 players or so though...gotta get more people to play in this tournament!

I live in mid cities, so if anyone wants to carpool this weekend, let me know

(assuming I don't make the drive to Biloxi...still undecided)

Is the Sat Weekly Tourney in the poker room? Or where they usually hold the WSOP-C events?

I am still debating about coming up this weekend. I've got a lot to do this weekend that is non-poker related, and it's a long drive for me, so I am thinking maybe doing this another time. So on the fence. lol

Don't forget that this week the tournament is guaranteed at $15k. I'm thinking that there will be enough interest to exceed the guarantee but there are competing games in MS and up in Tulsa taking some players away.

Also, Stein says he is showing up this week, there is you a stack that is fun to try and take!

So tough on Stein. lol If the drive didn't suck the life out of me, it wouldn't think twice about it. If it was just a smidge closer... oh well, I guess I will decide based on when I wake up in the morning.

Yeah, but usually that guarantee is met anyway... Last week 96 players, $14,400 pool, and that's the smallest field I've ever seen there.

Plus $1k comes out of the pool for the NACPT main event seat.

How far is the drive? Mine is 86 miles and I dislike it so I totally get it about sucking the life out of you.

If we didn't give Stein a hard time, he'd think none of us liked him anymore!

According to google maps, my drive is 88.2 miles. And yea, I feel all 88.2 miles of that darn drive. (bad back) It's why I have only driven up to Choctaw for tourney series twice.

My fear is that if I do poorly in the tournament, I don't have the bankroll right now to go play cash higher than $1/$2 (snooze). I would hate to bust out after a couple of hours, after driving and 1.5 hours, and then turn around and drive another 1.5 hours back home. Guess that tells you something about my play. HAHAHA

Not falling for all that bad play stuff!! There have been times where my drive time exceeded my tournament play time so I know the drill.

The thing with this tourney is playing well and getting deep, being there at 7:30pm and then taking a beat or a couple of them and just missing the cash and then having to make the drive...at least it is a fun tourney, great value and a great room.

Hope you make it up, good luck and safe travels if you do.

lol. You nut. I'm about to throw on proper clothes by which I can leave the house, gas up the car, hit the ATM, drive through Chick-Fil-A, and head up there. Since it is 10 till 10 and I have done none of those things yet, I hope that I make it in time - or that they allow late registration for a level.

There were 150 today if I recall correctly...no repeat final table due to my overwhelming stupidity. I forgot for 30 seconds that I am playing at Choctaw and don't over play your hand.

Oh well, there is the limit omaha 8 or better next Friday at 1pm and the bounty at 7pm, a full day donk'ing it up. We'll see if I can make the first break in a limit game with a T7,000 starting stack!

148 runners and I believe 1st was around 7400 even after they took out the 1k seat. I went out in the 60s or so, never got anything going. I sat next to the lady who got 2nd last week and she said some donk beat her heads up(j/k).
