Harrah's Cherokee (Cherokee, NC) - Page 91 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Is there any info on when there will be live poker? I've heard new years, I assumed that by the time of the WSOPC it would be going (an opportunity to rake a lot of $$$) but I'm surprised I can't find any firm date on the Internet).

I'll be there for new years, looking forward to some spewy games.

Do they still have the draconian rule of no electronics at the table? Can you wear headphones (but not "adjust" the ipod/mp3 player @ the table?)

Any improvement on the TV situation? I'll likely be interested in watching bowl games whilst playing.

No improvements made in placement of TVs. Be sure to finagle a seat facing TVs.

I hear that a poker pro was at cherokee a couple of weeks age and cashed 12K at the PLO game. Any truth to it? Supposedly Leif Force.

Leif is up here fairly regularly. I think he lives fairly close by. Not sure about the cash story though.

Don't know, but keep checking the WSOP website. The event schedules seem to be pretty much the same at most stops, so you can probably guess by looking at schedules published for other circuit events that last for same number of days as Cherokee.

What is clip level for Harrah's sending out a 1099 Misc Income tax form to the IRS for winnings in poker tournaments on the Poker Pro machines?

Don't know really. Cashed $1900+ in a 120 and nothing was reported. Probably generate a 1099 if payout is 300:1 or more. Happened to me when I used some free money to play a .05 slot. Won $600 and got a 1099. Tried to argue it was less that $1199 and I should't get one but I was told if you win more than 300:1 they give you a 1099.

Leif Force is the only WSOP bracelet winner I've heard of who has played the PLO game at Cherokee (something I read in the thread back around february), lives in the area, and since the reports were that this villain had won a WSOP bracelet, I was the one who surmised it was him since nobody had mentioned him by name. In fact, I've never seen him there but was there on the day in question to play NL and arrived around 6-7am on Saturday morning while the game was still running. I hadn't heard the rumors until the following weekend.

The schedule should be available any day now. It's finalized but these things take a little time.

As a teaser, our $1675 Main Event will be held over four days. It will start with two flights, the first starting on Friday, April 12th, the second on Saturday, April 13th. Each will merge together on Sunday and finish on Monday. This is just one of our 35 scheduled events.

This will be a WSOP Circuit event. Like the circuit riders who preached in the 18th and 19th century, they go form one town to the next on horseback to conduct the poker tournaments, and they probably bring the chips with them.

Maybe not in this case. What would they be doing with that many tournament chips? Unless you think they are going to use real money chips.

Real money chips?! C'mon man. Trust me, Cherokee will have their own tournament chip set. Most likely multiple sets. One or two for the main ring events, then at least one or two more for side tourneys and sattys. Caesars is a big company that buys lots of chips probably would pay pennies for each individual chip.

Whether or not they buy new chips for each circuit stop, I don't know. But Cherokee would have no need for them (unlike many other stops) unless they start having live dealers in tournaments. My understanding is that even when Cherokee gets live dealers, it will start out with 2/5 games and above only, and the rest of the games (including tournaments) will keep using Poker Pro tables.

Obviously they will have live dealers for the WSOP. I was talking about daily 100+20 or 50+10 tournaments at Cherokee. My understanding is that, even when they start with live dealers on a regular basis, the 1/2 NLHE and tournaments will probably remain PokerPro, at least to start with. So after the WSOP leaves, there may be no need for the tournament chips.

Daily tournaments are one area where PokerPro has some advantages.
