compiled Las vegas Tourney 100$-235$ structures?

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$

WSOP deep stacks 185$

Grand poker series

Grand poker series NL holdem

Ventian deep stack. 200$ 7pm

http://www.venetian.com/uploadedFile...012_2007pm.pdf


Binions poker classic 150$

http://www.binions.com/gaming/poker_...structureB.pdf


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).

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?

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.

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

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.
