April 1st 5pm
April 6th 2pm
April 10th Midnight
April 12th 9am
April 18th 9am
April 24th 4pm
April 26th 9am
April 30th 11pm

May promo will be everyone gets the normal comp $'s applied to your account and everyone will get $3/hour on the side that will be used only for WPT buy ins for the June 1st-11th series.

I hope the waiting in line process isn't a nightmare. It's gonna be a long line and I hope there won't be people butting their friends like it's lunch back in high school, lol.

As for May, that's interesting. So if I play 20 hours a week, that's 80 hours for $240 towards WPT. I'm assuming I could put that towards, say, a $500 buy in and pay the remaining $260?

Edit: You can see how cheap the May promotion is. 80 hours for the month would've been $600 for the Gas Card promotion.

Yes, you can put whatever your hours x $3 comes out to toward any of the WPT events.
The smaller events are $200($175+$25) with a $20 dealer add on which has to be paid in cash.

Hi ill be down there for a couple days next week. Are there any good MTTs that they run or is cash the best?

PS
Anything under $500 is fine. Just looking for some insight on to the MTTs really.

General consensus (which includes my vote) is that Derby Lane in St. Pete is better for tourneys across the board. As an added bonus, their room is about 20 degrees warmer, so you'll still be mentally sharp at the final table. It's nice to not have to deal with the debilitating effects that hypothermia can have on one's decision-making abilities.

Some of the MTTs at Silks (Tampa Bay Downs horse track) are pretty good as well, although their room is pretty darn chilly as well. Also, Derby is having a WPT regional tournament series all next week.

Hard Rock does have one or two MTTs daily:

No, but because of the turbo structure, I am sure a final table chop will happen often. The blinds will be super high way before the final table and there is no chopping until you get to final table. It pays 20 spots.

7k chips including the dealer add on and 15 min. blinds with a few levels missing.

btw, It says April 10th 12am so I am not 100% which day they actually mean.

4k starting stack + optional $10 dealer add on for 3k more. Will be normal structure but with a few levels taken out and 15 min. blinds.'
Its a turbo shove after an hour for sure.

I can't think which old brush you mean. I have had a few problems with the so called "veteran" dealers lately. The worst was 1/2nl I was BB and there was 4 limpers and the SB folded and I raised, the dealer pulls in the dead money and starts giving out change left and right, everyone folded.

The Pot for raking purposes was $11 so $1 and $1 and $2 of that was mine so my profit should have been $7 on the hand. The dealer hands me $1.
WTF, he obviously gave some people change twice but I didn't see it and after protesting for a min. I just said to deal.

No flash player on a max-i-pad? Glad it costs ten thousand dollars, or whatever it is. ;-)

Got a promotional letter from THR today, letting me know that I'm going to win lots of free cars in April. Should come in handy. Especially the Buick LaCross, lol. Does anyone know the odds of winning a car? I know it varies a bit, but are we talking one in a millionish? That's about what I'd expect.

1. 50bb buyin for 1/2nl is ******ed.
2. Front desk in poker room is where DMV employees go when they just can't cope with work any more.

Is the "April 10 Midnight" freeroll on Tuesday morning at 12:01 am (minus one minute), or on Tuesday night at 11:59pm (plus one minute)? I assume the former, but want to make sure.
