GOLIATH 2016 at Planet Hollywood 5/26 - 7/10 - Page 2 - WSOP and Tournament Circut

He exposes himself, and you are allowed to hold him for no limit.

Or maybe it's something else...my source is unreliable.

I am curious as well as to the structure/format of this tournament.

I'm afraid to ask you what event 69 is like.

Good question...concept is very simple. Plays the same way NLH does however whenever you fold you MUST fold face up. All hands are folded face up. On the river if there is a bet and call BOTH hands must be exposed. Just something simple and fun.

Cool to hear that. In a previous post, you mentioned many PLO events, including at least one 6-max PLO, which is a great idea.
I don't see anything specified for the PLO events (event 26, event 42, event 62), which one is a 6-max?
As 26 & 42 look identical, with a 240$ buy-in, I would love to see one of them played 6-max.
Thanks!
PS: great to schedule a multi-flights 2-day mid-buyin PLO event, hope that will be successful

Hopefully, you'll attract some low limit players who want to try out some different games for a low entry point. I think it's good for poker if more people play different games.

Great attitude CrazyLond! Too few players, especially mid-stakes & high-stakes regulars, think about rec players and the need for small mixed games tourneys.

Fascinating schedule! And great to see you list the house take on each event.

You've already answered the Q I planned to ask about the exposed NLH, but there are several more curious ones on there. How does the Stars & Stripes Team Challenge differ from the tag team event? What's the scoop on the Hall of Fame bounties tourney? Are there WSOP HOFers scheduled to play or something?

Without getting picky, this is pretty decent for the most part, although I would love to have seen you test the waters with NLO and a couple of draw tourneys.

I do find the names confusing - anything with GOLIATH in it.

Couple of things to confirm:

1. It looks like you can buy in to already in-the-money events on day 2, just at higher price point.

2. All events one day unless restart time displayed or full player agreement to come back 2nd day.

Lastly 2 qns...

1. With multi-flight events, what time do you expect early morning flights to bag?

2. With the double cash $2k bonus, is that stripped from prize pool, or put up by pH as a sweetener?

Actually Chris, this is worthy of a "please explain".

At the $500-$600 price point...

WSOP $500+$65 (13%)
GN $500+$70 (14%)
DSE $522+$78 (14.9%)
PH $520+$80 (15.4%)

The feedback from 2 + 2 and the poker community as a whole is very important to us. It's your money and your choice where to play. We hope we offer the best option to play outside of the WSOP. The way for us to try and offer the best product is to listen to our players.

Chris, please only use 1 link for the schedule and don't keep the older versions online, otherwise it will be confusing.

There are 2 events #39 (Ininja and GORSE) and there is no event 48 although on the bottom it says that Event 48 is a Quantum reload.

Saw that after my post, thanks. Pity I won't be able to play as I had to lock in my dates to get time of work and better priced flights and you've managed to bookend my trip. Hopefully this is fixed with more timely schedule releases (all round - not just you guys) next year.

the quantum 200+40 says 12% advance but surely it should be 20%

also playing a 100+30 into a 900+100 is a rakefest

Last year our $565 was $485 + $80 or 14.2%. This year we are $520 + $80 or 13.4%. With our structure and guaranteed prize pool we certainly hope you see the value that we offer.
