lol... Don't get me wrong, you are going to run into some good players, but you are going to see the same landmines as you do everywhere else. 1500 events are probably pretty amateur/rec player infested. TBH I hope you draw Phil Ivey at your table. The story is worth the investment. If you don't get Phil Ivey then you'll draw the rec playing landmine Phil Ivory.
In the one tourney I played this year (the OMC event) the players at my table were very weak - only one "name"player rotated through during 12 hours, and our table did not break until 11pm. Unfortunately I had a complete calling station on my left who called every time I (or anyone else) raised, and was there to the river with any piece. And he always seemed to flop a piece. So you had to make hands - we started with 3K and I was never able to get it up above $15K. Did outlast 3800 plus players, but over 4400 in the tournament.
Just got "floated" Classic-style (ask APD). Raise AQ over a couple of limpers. Calling station cold calls from the SB, one limper calls. Flop is 4d8d2c. Station calls my c-bet, and I check it down after a Jh hits turn. She shows down AJo. Gross.
Same player just knocked out two others when she called a raise with K2s, called raiser and another with TPNK, then went AI when a duece hit. They both had AK.
Fattest dealer of all time and I'm in the one seat. Feels like I'm on Southwest Airlines... Seriously, the table is creaking every time he leans forward.

I LOL'd IRL and so would everyone else if they only knew.
You in town? We should meet up for a beer. I'm not playing this tomorrow, cause tomorrow is my WSOP event starts. Hopefully I'll be too busy for the rest of the trip for this game, but not too busy for a meetup with fellow LLSNLers
if you only have 500 I'd go to the B instead of the V
+1

lmk your plans for tonight, if any, and I'll come meet up with you.
Busted a guy who had about the same stack as me. 99>AK AIPF for about 25bbs effective. Nice and healthy stack now, but blinds getting high. Time to change gears again.
The di** move is to play at the V, the place mpethy hates the most. However, if you take mpethy there I offer up my weeks (now until Saturday night) run good to mpethy. Trust me 'pethy, you want this, I haz a little fire right now.
I'll take it and play at the V if he wants, but honestly, V or B is fine with me. I'm jonesing hard, been a week since I played, i think. 5 days, anyway.
