As far as the basement .. WSOPc is scheduled to return in early April and if the casino isn't staffed to open 'all' the tables on a regular basis then why put the labor into a double conversion of that gaming space?
While some patrons like that have 'their' table I think casinos want the excitement squeezed into a smaller area where it can feed other patrons to participate. GL
Played 1/3 at GVC yesterday 1/6 from 10a-5pm. It was full of horrendous play. I lost a buyin wiithn the first hour. Raising to $15 UTG and getting 4-5 callers is not uncommon. I won a $750 pot where I flopped a full house and on the turn both players made their flush.
The way poker is being played right now there's no need for higher stakes! It can be nerve wracking since you are 'supposed' to play tighter the looser the table is playing while making adjustments to your bet sizing in an attempt to get HU. But it really is the wild wild west pretty much everywhere I hear stories from. GL
What kind of turnout/payout are the weekday tourneys getting? Thinking about checking out the Thursday @ noon tourney - has anyone been to one of these? Sunday tournament looks good too. Thanks!
Sometimes, but not as frequently as Rivers or Horseshoe. Try Horseshoe Hammond just over the border in IN - I mentioned in Rivers thread.
Thanks. Seemed like a lot of people saying that Horseshoe is dying or dead. Somehow GVC, Rivers, and Horseshoe all seem about an hour from Joliet. According to Bravo, Rivers is the only one that has anything higher than 1/2 PLO going. Gonna make a game time decision in a couple hours - might have to wait for Rivers if the games are that much better.

You said you wanted 500 buy in? that's 1-2 / 2-2 PLO as it's a $5 bring in, $5-5 plays huge.
A little late to the party for Phull .. but you'll find all the action you want/need at Rivers 1/2 PLO. The 5/5 plays very big and pays $22/hour time rake to boot. You'll just need to be patient if you're down the list.
I've been hearing that the PLO at 'Shoe is pretty weak as well .. and that you may run into a table full of short stacks at times, which in general means cash-n-dashers. GL
Anyone have details on this main event Maynia satellite they will be running on May 20th? Will winners be payed 10k cash or tournament lamers or is it a must play 10k seat? Can you sell the seat if you win?
You'd be better off calling the poker room for that information.
One thing I can just about guarantee is that it wont be lammers since WSOP itself has done away with lammers. My guess it that you will not have a cash option either, but every casino has their own twist on these promos/events.
Buddy of mine won a seat from a poker site last year and it was transferrable. He went to Vegas with every intention on selling it and ended up playing but not cashing. GL
