WSOP 2016 help/tips - Page 9 - WSOP and Tournament Circut

The cash games at the RIO are good, but at 2-5 and esp above there will almost always be a few regs... (if you are an online grinder you will often be the best but there is easier money) you will find fishier games elsewhere.... if you are mostly playing cash, and dont want to spend 200 a night (which with taxes and resort fees the rio will cost), stay at Harrahs, Linq, Planet H - they are cheaper and you can walk to venetian, caesars, bellagio, aria or wynn easily (and cabs add up at 15-25 a pop)

we get a house everry summer, but Marrch is when those go

Also the schedule makes lots of references to Mega sats where the winner seems to be required to play in the following day's MTT. Do they really limit your choice like this or do they just pay out in lammers?

Only online unless you want the transaction to be a cash advance.

What's the likelihood of finding easy parking at the rio during the ME at say noon or 1 on any given day?

You won't lack for a space, but finding one close would be only by luck.

Got 50 dollars in free Lyft credit pretty sweet. Check out the link on D Neg's twitter. I had never used the app before so it was a first time sign up bonus. You get 5 dollars off max on 10 rides. I won't be using my own car while I'm out so this was a nice surprise.

Wee hours of the morning (like 5:00-6:00 am) for all three in the past. This year the $235 and $185 start one hour earlier, so that should make some difference. The $135 that started at 10pm in the past is now at 7pm, which in theory might make it finish earlier than the others, but the earlier start time could also make for larger fields than in the past.

Do the cash games run right through to the end of the main event? Does the action start to dry up once July hits?

Yup and yup. It might be a little better this year because of the Little Drop.

FYI the Uber pickup for WSOP is right out near the cab stand right outside the convention center. Uber is actually a WSOP sponsor so it my be more WSOP-friendly than anyone thought.

The rideshare pickup at the airport is on the 2nd floor of the parking garage.

And just to clarify....you'll go up to the second level using the elevator from the baggage claim level.

Then when you walk out.....take the parking garage elevator to Level 2-M.

Level 2-M is a higher level than Level 2, so it is a touch confusing. Then you'll see the Uber stop.

Per WSOP Website - This marks the first time credit cards can be used to buy-in to WSOP events (for all events $1500 and under, including Daily Deepstacks and Satellite events). However, it is important to understand that credit cards can only be used for participants who register for events online in advance – credit cards will still not be allowed for live on-site registration. Participants will need to register online and complete the process, including payment with credit card, at least 72 hours prior to the start of the event’s play when using the process for the first time.
