Oh buddy! Dont get these guys started on play for your money! LOL We've been having this debate for a while. I felt the same way, not much else you could do to keep the tournament to one day though. I think a tourney with that kind of payout should prob. be 2 days, maybe Sat. all day, and Sun. afternoon final table or two tables. Problem is people in this area dont seem to love the game that way, they said people were complaining it was taking too long 6 hrs. into the game, for a $1000 buyin! Doesnt make sense to me but whatever.

I'm playing the Omaha8 tourny this Friday. Has anyone tried it yet? Or have any info on it...how many players, etc...?
Thanks.

It is a sit & go, so 10 players

Where did you get that information? It's not listed on the schedule as a sit-n-go?
Meadows Schedule

When I got there Friday at 8, I asked how many runners they got, the dealer told me it was a S&G.

Dealer was confused. I just spoke with Peter. It is a regular tournament. This past week, it was accidentally advertised as a turbo and only 12 players entered. But the previous week it at 30 entrants.

My mistake, but that is good news. I would like to make it out there for one soon.

I played the midnight tourney this past Saturday. they had 94 players. Top 10 got paid. Prize pool was just under 3k, with first taking a little over 1300. Play was pretty aggressive, but i guess that's to be expected with 12 minute levels. The dealers did a real nice job keeping the action going so you got in as many hands as possible for each level. All in all a pretty decent tournament, i would play it again. I was surprised at how dead the room was though. I got there at about 1130 and i think they had maybe 5 cash tables going. didn't seem like a lot of people stayed around after they busted from the tourney to play either. When i busted at 230, i think they had 2 tables going.

Get there around 7, play before the tourney, it will be pretty packed, the midnight tourney does pretty much kill the cash action though, not a poker room like AC or Vegas, not a big town, mostly locals playing after work and calling it a night and going home instead of going until 5.

Yeah ill def check it out again. i think ill wait until they find out who's shooting at cars up there on 70 though.

Uh oh. Shooting at cars on 70? I need to drive through there today.

What are my odds there- is it like chance of facing a set type of risk or just chance of facing a royal flush?

Thx

Three cars and a couple houses. all random. The story is on the pittsburghchannel.com, from 9/28 i think. I haven't heard anything about it today, so i imagine the person doing the shooting is still out there somewhere.

Good thing I wasn't going down 70 today. Played at hollywood pa today and ch hit runner runner bigger fh. Better bad beat than bullet

The Meadows Poker Room is hosting the $330 buy-in “ Score Big “ poker tourney on Sunday, October 10th at 1:30 pm. Registration for direct buy-in starts on 10-08-10 $45 satellites will be available to give players a chance to Score Big with a small investment.

Starting chips for the Main event is $15,000 with 30 minute blinds. Structure will be similar to that of the Labor Day Classic starting with $25-$50. The Meadows offers major events once a month, with buy-ins from $330 to $550 to $1000. The following is the Satellite Schedule for this event :

Fri. 10-08-08 – 4pm $45 Sit’N Go
Fri. 10-08-10 – 7 :30 pm $45 Super satellite, no rebuy.
Sat. 10-09-10 – 7:30 pm $45 Super satellite, $30 multiple rebuys
Sun. 10-10-10 – 10:30 am $45 Last chance Turbo

Are those satellite for sure correct? Whoever I called and talked with today did not seem to have a very good idea about them, wish they would just put up information about the tournament/satellites on their website. Makes no sense to try to run a tournament, but then only advertise in the card room itself.. they could really improve turnout by taking 10 minutes of effort and updating their website lol.

Are they awarding only one seat per satellite?

I actually wrote an email to the casino about how out of date their website is, and how many more players they would attract with up to date information, especially on upcoming tournaments. Doesnt seem to have helped, they will prob say they are too busy, but if youve been to this room any weekday, day or night, you know they have plenty of time on their hands. I showed up to play in a friday tournament that was posted on the website, just to find out they had decided to cancel it when I get to the cashier window, to hold satellites for a tournament that only drew 70 players. I drove an hour and a half to get there, had to play cash on a short bankroll b/c I really was only there to play the tourney, and had to wait until midnight to play in a tournament when I was then ready to go home. Stupid.

no they will award as many seats per 330 in the prize pool

I was out there last night and picked up this flyer. Hope it helps you guys.

Thanks. I'm gonna try and make it to the Sunday satellite.

102 players in last night's (10/11) tourny...

here's the next monthly tournament schedule at the Meadows 1st prize get's first place money plus an ATV

Was also a shooting off campus at Cal-U. One Pittsburgh student was killed.

So how many players did they get for the 10/10 tourney?

my boy lives right next door to the house that got shot up
