Ive looked over some of these structures and was wondering which structure would be best to play and which series draws soft players. Also which ones have pretty good pay outs. Lists of Tourneys below.

Caesars mega stacks 130$

Binions poker classic 150$

They all seem somewhat similar in blind levels and time of levels vary from 30-40min.
my main question is which of these is the longest and shortest to complete?
also quality of players and payouts.

I will be going out to vegas in mid july to try out 2-3 of these.

Thanks for the advice.

If you're going mid-July, they'll all be done and dusted?

If that's meant to be mid-June, WSOP gets most entries and is probably the softest. Binions and Nugget probably have best structures (logical - they start at noon and the others start in the evening).

Any idea of which Events are having the best turnouts?

Yes I meant mid June. How long do the WSOP deep stacks usually take to complete?

Once again, it depends on field size, and it might be a bit early to determine what that's going to be like.

Generally, I'd estimate between 2 and 4am. All 3 of the dailies can end similar times because of the structures. I would guess (not having played them though) that the Binions / Nugget events would end at a similar time. You can try and post in those specific threads to ask. I will play Binions on Monday before moving to the Rio on Tuesday.

Best value between them all?

How long is a piece of string?

It depends what constitutes value - your trade off is between:
1. Prize pool (WSOP)
2. Field softness (WSOP)
3. Structure (probably Downtown events for under $250)
4. Smallest juice (check out The June summer thread)
5. Wait service
6. Transportation cost to get there
7. Something else?

Thanks for clarifying. I'm basically looking for field softness and lowest rake with a decent field. It must also be <$500. Transportation is not a problem

Rake comparison and full list of events in Kenny's spreadsheet.

Your best bet is probably the Rio.

Great spreadsheet. Will definitely be useful.
Much appreciated.

Kenny,

Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Hi everyone

I am following this thread intense I am arriving at the 1. and leaves at the 10 of july.
Which of the up to 240$ event have the largest fields ?

/Mikkmakk

Rio 235 deepstack has the biggest field. Anywhere from 650-1000 the past few days.

Today's 2pm Rio Deepstack info via twitter:

2PM DeepStack @WSOPLiveAction @WSOP @RioVegas June 13, 2012 Entrants: 1,167 Buy-In $235 Prize Pool: $227,565 ITM: 117 First Place: $46,078

Anyone here have any comments/experiences about/with the Golden Nugget Grand Poker Series?

I am particularly interested since there appears to be a lot of non-NLHE offerings.
