I enjoy playing the Saturday tourney at both places but I'm still bitter at the way Choctaw ignored our pleas to stop that hideous ruling of waiting 5 hands if you accidentally expose a card. Why did it take them so long to finally start listening? (rhetorical)

btw, I hope to do well starting this weekend in the Card Player tourneys. See you there.

I agree it took too long, but at least they've come around on it.

Good luck in the Cardplayer series!

I took some out of the tourney and had fun this weekend. I don't know why but I rather like Choctaw better than the other place. To all playing up there much good luck.

I find the Choctaw employees friendlier than at the other place.

Yeah, not even close there... Bill, Brian, Adrian, etc are all really good people. Choctaw is more comfortable (closer for me) and typically have better structures. Plus when Winstar has a series, they typically have 3-6 prelims - Choctaw has 25-50 of em!

Wow, a main event seat added to the Saturday tourney prize pool? That's pretty sweet.

Sean,
No details available yet.

What you will learn is when its a series that Jimmy Sommerfeld runs, you'll find all the info on pokerexecutives.com. Usually months before the series. For instance, the WPT Series has schedule and structure sheets available already.

If it's something that Choctaw is running internally, like the Bounty, Saturday Deepstack and the Mega, we really won't know much until it starts (or right before). And the info will come from a Choctaw regular player, and not from any Choctaw Rep.

Gotcha...so based on previous experience whats your guess on structure for the megas?
Choctaw, Durant OK Weekly Tournaments Quote

Also...The WPT main event is $3500+$200 aka $3700 buyin. So that being said are the $330s ($300+$30 juice) or does all $330 go to prizepool? Anyone that can explain this I appreciate it.

My experience is they've never run Megas, so there is no telling. The Saturday Deepstack structure is better than Winstars (WS missing a couple significant levels), but a much bigger turnout at WS. With the Megas starting at 3pm, i wouldnt expect a great structure or it would end too late. We'll find out in 2 weeks.

My guess is $300 + $30, but certainly not sure of that. If you're playing the Cardplayer Series why not ask someone in the poker room? They'll either have the info or not. It's not something that Jimmy Sommerfeld's crew will know anything about, as they'll be off to the next curcuit stop.

My guesses are similar to Tex_Shamrock, 300+30 and a structure designed to end in 5-6 hours (maybe similar to the $500 River Megas Winstar runs).

Something like 5 hours for 79 or 89 on a weekend you just have the desk verify it with the poker room

Does that have to be cash game play or can it be tournament play. I want to hit up those weekend weekly tournies and if I make it feel was wondering if that rate would still apply

Very interested to see how much of an impact the WPT Main Event Seat overlay has on weekly attendance.

I've written to Choctaw Management applauding this promotion, and suggesting they may want to always offer a Main Event seat to whichever Series is coming up next as an added prize to the Saturday DeepStack winner.
