WOW!! All the 19 games available for the Dealers Choice 130$?? It's not May 30th, it's December 25th!! Really impressed, great move.
Still a bit concerned about the dealers and some unusual games but I hope you'll manage that!

I still don't understand how these quantum reloads work

We will get through it together...or I'll just take the day off and read the shift report.

My team will be ready.

Instead of having to buy in at the beginning of day 1 you can by in at a later point/day in the tournament for more money and get a bigger specified chip stack, the later in the tournament the more you pay. You can even buy in on day 2 for much much more money and then even if you cash still lose money, i.e. pay $1000 and cash for only $200.

Here is an example from one site:
On the first starting day, a $200 buy-in gets a player 10,000 chips, and 10 percent of the field moves on to Day Two. On the next starting day, the cost is $300 for 15,000 chips, and 15 percent of the field makes Day Two. And on the last starting day, the cost is $400 for 20,000 chips, and 20 percent of the field makes Day Two. When Day Two starts, it’s a level field among the survivors, though some paid less than others and therefore had to last a little longer to get there. But the craziness isn’t over yet, because there’s also an option to buy in at the start of Day Two for a substantially higher amount—much more than the min-cash—for the higher rollers who can’t be troubled with the early stages of a tournament.

Here is a link to one of the WPT events that did this, all the price points, entries and payout.

Good! There are multiple venues that host hold'em events around that time in a similar price range. Why not do something different. Give players a reason to be there.

P"Hell"O - it should also count if you get dealt 666 in your hand


Heads-Up tourney should be NLH/PLO mix. I don't think it would have trouble getting 64 entrants.

The nightly Devastator II has a small error. Level 1 lasts 60 minutes then levels 2 and beyond are 15. Ultra turbo/rebuys event. Certainly not the event that #GOLIATH2016 will be remembered for but stands to be a fun way to end the night.

What are the level lengths in the quantum reload?

Also, I believe Level 8 is an error in the quantum reload day 2 structure, has blinds at 5000/5000.

Looking forward to playing a few of your events. I will say that nightly structure is a great value for $100. Lots of play for that price.

Really wish the turbos had some of the missing levels. Talking specifically about the $100ks.

2500/5k, 12k/24k, and 25k/50k are badly needed.

I don't mind switching the turbos to the primary structure for the $100Ks if that's what's generally wanted. Shorter blinds obviously.

I'd prefer this to holdem but I'm not sure I'll be able to play regardless.

If you do mix, I think the easiest way to do it is just 2 hands of each game.

Would be a terrific gesture to players to have a PLO headsup AND a NLH headsup.

Thanks, as always, for listening to everyone and being open to new ideas!! It is very much appreciated.

Chris I tweeted earlier, the Value Deepstack appears to be a 10k starting stack at 50/100 for 100 big blinds.
Does 100 bigs qualify as DS?

The value of the structure and starting stack I would hope is viewed as a DS.

Structure is phenomenal - and thanks again for that this year - and last.

Guess I was just thinking DS to be 200+.

Either way - see you this summer.

Will the $600 Seniors have the same structure as the $350 Stack, e.g., 20,000 starting chips?

Not sure, looks like we missed that one. Has to be a 1 day tourney so there will have to be a modification somewhere to make it take 10-12 hours.
