Also, how is the level of play? I'm assuming not great, but it is a higher buy-in compared to most dailies at Golden Gates, so are most players at least competent?
The level of play in the Fri, Sat and Sun noon tourneys is a little tougher than the 3pm and 7pm tourneys there. Most events at the Gates play tougher than any of the ones I typically played at the Gilpin (RIP) or have recently played at the Lodge. (The latter feels a shove-fest after just 5 or 6 levels to me.)
The Gates recently started a dealer add-on, which adds a few more chips to your deep stack, but the blind levels double on most of the levels, so it goes up fast. I don't think the Sunday noon tourney has antes, but the Friday and Saturday ones do.
I'm not 100% sure this is the current structure, but I think it's close:
30,000 chips to start (plus another 3k for the add-on?)
Level 1 - 100-100
Level 2 - 100-200
Level 3 - 200-400
Level 4 - 300-600
Level 5 - 400-800 100
Level 6 - 500-1,000 100
Level 7 - 600-1,200 200
Level 8 - 800-1,600 200
Level 9 - 1,000-2,000 300
Level 10 - 1,200-2,400 300
Level 11 - 1,500-3,000 500
Level 12 - 2,000-4,000 500
Level 13 - 3,000-6,000 500
Level 14 - 4,000-8,000 500
Level 15 - 5,000-10,000 1,000
Level 16 - 6,000-12,000 1,000
That's as far as my notes go, but hopefully it will be helpful!
