What will the payouts in Sundays $200 tourny figure to be?

I agree, installing a $2/hr promo on slow days, (mon/tues) would defintely work in everyones favor.

Excellent point with having white chips when buying in. The standard $200 buy-in for the 1-2 games should be $20 in white with the rest in red.

last week w/ like 110 players it was something like....top 9 pay

6k +1500 seat
4k
2.8k
a couple between 1k-2k
7-9 under 1k $200 increments

damn, the 200 is really looking nice, payout wise.... and overall its a nice tourney it seems like.. 30 minute blinds and more chips than the hundred buyin.. but i'm wondering, the 100 was 80+20+10, is the 200, 160+40+10? well either way by reading those payouts i'm definitely playing tomorrow. I played in Thursdays 100 and took third... god the 1500 seat was so close! lol really donked away first place... was THE shortstack coming into the money (14 people got paid).. and before i knew it it was three handed but it was worth it... and the higher buyin tournies should prove to be better overall.. looking forward to tomorrow.

Oh one more thing.. the alternates.. didnt really like waiting 30 minutes into the hundred to be able to play.. at what time should i get there tomorrow to ensure that im not an alternate.. like 11 am at the latest? reg starts at ten so if i get there at 11 I should be good to start right at noon right?

123 players in the $200 buy-in today.
Paid top 14 with $21,000 prize pool
$6200 for first PLUS the $1500 seat.

Is only razz ever spread? I know there's 5/10 HORSE on Saturdays usually.

NO but if we had enough people that wanted it we would spread it.

PROMOTION UPDATE

January 18th-24th a $1500 seat will be issued at 9am, 3pm, 9pm and 3am (28 seats). It will be done with a random table chosen then a card given to each player and the winner of the high card will get the $1500 seat to the 100K guarantee tournament on Sunday January 25th at Noon.

wow. pretty sure the 1500 just got worth buying in to.

That is awesome! So the first give/away will be at 3am Sunday, correct?

looks like I know where I'll be sunday at 3am.

No, the first one will be Sunday the 18th at 9am.

Why is this awesome? When the casino is guaranteeing a $100,000 prize pool. They are using our promotion money to pretty much reduce the risk of an overlay in the prize pool. They now only need 19 other people to buyin (28 from this promotion and 19 from people who have won the other tourneys, total of 47) to eliminate their risk.

Well I consider it "awesome" because it represents the only chance I have in playing in it. So, a free chance is awesome to me. Im sure tourny players have other opinions and I see your point, and it is well taken.

Ding Ding Ding

Also, this promotion might attract a few more players to buy into the event because they figure with 28 promo seats, the field will be softer. More tournament fees for Harrahs to collect...

Hi guys new to 2+2, but played at majestic last week and was probably one of the softest games ive been apart of. MAde 6 buyins in under 3 hours of 200NL. ANyways, does the shoe comp players with a card? Im sure its been covered in here, but dont want to look thru whole thread. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

THanks.

Yes the Shoe comps $1 per/hr, BTW how many 1/2 tables did they have going at Majestic?

Im not sure Id say 2-3, they had a bounty tourney going on as well, but I will tell you this, the players were brutal. I ran all over that table. There was honestly 1 decent player there and he was readable.

Also, can you explain who to tip as well? I know the dealer, but do you tip anyone else? I just want to have good etiquette when playing there.

ALso, what can you use that $1 per hour for? sorry for the newbie ?'s. I have just been a strictly online player, except for vegas trips and occassional trips to casino

i'm playing. didn't know it was a guarantee/a guarantee w/ a realistic chance at a good over-lay (would have went for that as well).

also, there's really hardly any figuring about it. the field will now be softer.

lol....other than the "holy sh*t awesome overlay if they dont hit 100k", i think "holy sh*t awesome a bunch of 3-6 players in a $1500" is the next best thing

It is customary in these parts to tip everyone. On medium size pots, $5-$10 is the norm for the dealer, another $5 to the floorman working that area, and follow that up by buying the table a drink and throwing the cocktail waitress a mininum of $10. That would be considered proper etiquette in these parts, and anything less would look chintzy. You're welcome.

Tip dealers/Chip runners/cocktail waitresses.

I dont drink when I play, so I throw the waitress a buck/water. I take care of the dealer depending on pot size. Chip runner? Who is this? I bought my chips from the desk and sat down, never saw a chip runner. Also, I saw one chubby dude sitting by the TV, is he considered the floor? Im not being cheap, but why should I tip him? Rememeber, I am an online 400nl player so this live stuff is rather new to me. I have figured out how to beat the live game imo, but want to know who to take care of. Also, is there a way to get in with the floor people to find good juicy games or not? I appreciate all your input.
