My post from the tournament thread:

$5000 = 15k starting stack
There are two super satellites scheduled, one for the $2500 and one for the $5000 on the day before each event takes place.
I asked the floor and they said everything was already finalized. Pretty sad they seem unwilling to take any feedback from players whatsoever on anything.

Re: PETITION: Fallsview Poker Classic please improve structure
Only reason I didn't play last year was because of the brutal fast paced crap shoot structure it had. I went and played the montreal poker classic though...600bbs to start, levels 1 hour long $1500 buy in...twas perfect!

When was this? As I will likely attend this event and pass on the Niagara one due solely to the horrible structure like last year.

Re: PETITION: Fallsview Poker Classic please improve structure
BREAKING NEWS***************
Fallsview staff don't care what twoplustwo thinks of their structure - we've tried over the years and always on deaf ears.
The $1k will sell out. Last year they allowed people to buy as many seats as they wanted at the cage. What ended up happening is a few guys bought a tonne of $1k tickets and ended up scalping them. They cornered the $1k ticket market LOL!!!! It's so laughable how poorly run this place is.

Apparently you can only buy 4 seats this year....not sure why 4??? Should be 1 but anyway yes serveral players made 1000's last year buying sat winners for seat for $700 and reselling them for $1500 day before. Awesome run room.....

Re: PETITION: Fallsview Poker Classic please improve structure
I've been to Vegas twice this year
And they have a few tournaments that are better than fallsview running EVERYDAY
It's really pathetic how shafted we get in Ontario
Fallsview is suffering from Leafs Syndrome. They know they have a demand, so they put a half-assed effort into it and do absolutely nothing to improve the system because moronic players will play anyways.
Anyone who buys into these tournaments is either stupid or has money to blow, plain and simple.
Maybe the 5k tournament is worth it to buy in because there are less players and you have more chips to play with. But it would still be hard.
I played at Aria, Caesars, and Binions a bunch of times. And on average, taking into consideration all their structures and attendance, you're normally starting with 10k with 30 min blind levels, and it can be really difficult to maneuver a 60-100 player field.
Fallsviews biggest problem is the blind structure does not support attendance. 45 minutes is probably suitable for 100-120 players LOL. Not 600.
Its absolute insanity.
I'll play the super satellite and test my luck.
If people don't like the tournament, then don't play. If its not in your interests, then don't play. This is a microcosm of why the economy is in the ****ter. People at the top are making all the decisions, and everyone else feels obliged to follow them.
The only option is boycott, or shutup.
