I think that that was all they got, and ended up cancelling the extra days. I figured that everybody who wanted to play $1500 buyin just got back from Vegas and so there would be no demand. I mean if you can afford a $1500 buyin in the first place you can afford to go and play in the frakking WSOP for the same price. If they had it in May they could spin it as WSOP practice or something and maybe get more interest.
If I had registered on the basis of the guarantee I would be rather put out. "750k guaranteed... unless we would have to overlay... then it's not guaranteed"
I don't care for Snoqualmie, poker room is way too small and crowded, not enough different kinds of games (basically they only have one level of NL with $5 bb and $300 buyin which is lame) and the dealers let the regular players get away with just about anything. "Are you going to call? Yes? Ok then I fold"
So with Muckleshoot, 3/5 is the lowest buyin at NL which means it gets the weak players, vs. at Tulalip where the bad players and scared money tend to play 1/3. I have only been there a few times but I agree the 3/5 seems a lot softer than Tulalip. On the other hand - Tulalip is a much nicer casino. Muckleshoot poker room is too dark and smoky for me and they use cheap low quality chips, and the rest of the casino reminds me of a Chuck E Cheese.
Snoqualmie is probably about as nice as Tulalip if they would play fair and move the poker game out of the janitor's closet.
