Chris know you are in Council Bluffs and series is a ways away. Other 2p2ers know from past Pot of Gold expereince?
Single table Satellites get buy in chips to buy into any event. The Super Sat and Mega Sat get bought in directly to the event. If you already have an entry bought in with cash and win a satellite we will give you your cash back. If you win two seats the you will receive buy-in chips for the second one.

How normal is that to withhold 3% of the BI, not counting the rake? Is this basically a forced tip?

These look good to me. Like starting 50/100 and having 75/150, 100/200 and 100/200 w25, 250/500, 500/1000 etc.

Sadly, it seems to be more and more common. On the good side of the equation, Grand Sierra gives 2% of all tournament buy ins as comp dollars, and the food they put out in the evenings after the buffet closes can hit the spot if you are fortunate enough to be playing late in a tournament.

Re: Grand Sierra Resort Spring Pot of Gold Reno May 10th-20th with 275k in Guarantees Prize Poo

Couple questions: 1) is there a convenient hotel shuttle form the airport, or maybe since it's close to the airport a cab is the way to go? and 2) is there a series point championship for this one? Wouldn't be me anyways .

It's about a 5 minute cab ride, but I have no idea if there is a courtesy shuttle or not.

They do run a hotel shuttle, however if you just miss it and don't feel like waiting half an hour it's a short cab ride.

Shuttle runs every half hour, so hard miss and have to wait 30.

Its right out the door past car rentals, and the last baggage claim area. You can see hotel from there. Cab is less than $10

I will look into it for future events with the poker room manager but the last one we did didnt seem to work as far as keeping players around for the whole tourney.

What do you think would be a good best all around player point system. .1st gets it all or pay top 1-10. Anyone with any ideas on how to go about it let me know. Also what do you and others think the prize pool should be and how should it be destibuted?


Thanks.

To answer questions regarding the airport shuttle. If my memory serves me correctly the shuttle from the airport runs on the 15 and 45 minute mark of the hour and runs on the top of the hour and half hour from the hotel. It's a quick 5 minute ride to and from and is a courtesy shuttle that is free. If you don't want to wait for it you can take a cab each way that runs about $10-$12 dollars.
