Any winter tourney series or anything good coming to town next couple months?

Hi Itz, we are having a number of promotions( New Years Eve, High Hands, Cash Give Away's and of course the winter Poker meltdown Tournament series) Please check our website or the Bravo Poker Live app for times and details. Hope to see you here!!!

Looking at playing in the Winter poker weekend. How many entries were there last year and where did you have to finish to be in the money? Have to say it looks like a great tournament!

Hi Roc, last year we had 415 players, prize pool was $86,735 and we paid 40 spots. Due to some payout changes we have implemented, if we get the same number of players we would pay around 45 spots. This is one of our premier winter events, hope to see you there!

Thanks Frankie for the quick reply. One more question for you. Would the tournament run into Monday or just Sunday. Just trying to plan my schedule accordingly.

With that structure, 11am day 2 start and anticipated turnout it should finish on Sunday and not too late at that.

Hi AA, that is correct. the Tournament will end on Sunday!. We have purposely revamped our tournaments to be more player friendly as far as vig, structure and length of time. Our guests have been very happy with the new system.

Does PLO ever run at TS?

If so, what limits?

Thanks!

Hi tomcat, PLO usually gets going during our bigger tournament events, obviously we will always spread the game anytime there is an interest. When the game does run its usually 2/5 or 5/10. Hope that helps!

Someone said to me that Turning Stone has a "no hoodie" rule. You can have a hoodie jacket but you can't be wearing the hood up during a game. Is this a rule and why such a rule? This is for my own information, I think wearing the hood at a poker table is silly, but I was wondering the reason if this rule exists.

Probably because surveillance thinks you are going to rob the cage potentially or can't get a clear view of your face on camera.

You couldn't be more right Frankie. Not my first time playing in tournaments but that was my first big event. And I agree it was a lot of fun. Sucked to go out so early day 2 but I had a great time. Winning a seat via the satellite made losing a little better LOL. Your staff did a fabulous job. Any idea when the next one with these entry fees will be? I'm looking forward to next time.

Thanks!

Hello and thanks for asking. Casinos everywhere have always had a no hoodie policy on the Gaming floor as State requirements are a person can not cover their face in a manner to obscure identity. Due to the popularity of wearing hoodies while playing poker, the rule was amended to allow hoodie wearing in poker rooms only. That being said, due to the times we live in and to provide better security for guests and the property, most poker rooms around the country are also adopting policies that not only prevent hoodie wearing but also to enforce the ability to prevent guests from concealing their identity.
While it makes for a good answer, its not so much about the cage being robbed as it is about overall security for everyone who visits our property. Hope that answers the question!

Now everyone will be wearing bandannas! (I am sure bandanna wearing falls under the same rule)

Thank you for the answer, I always thought the hoodie and bandanna looked silly but it was harmless. I didn't know there was a state requirement/rule about it.

Can anyone give me an idea of how many players are typical for the Saturday 4pm $155 buy in tourney? I usually play 2/5, but am considering playing this tourney tomorrow, if the field size makes for a worthwhile payout.

Hi Sahm, for that event you can expect anywhere from 65 to 80 players. There are occasions when it spikes higher but that is the normal range expectation. Hope to see you there!

What are the min and max buyin in terms of big blinds?

Hi Jeggs, buy-ins for PLO are as follows: 1/2 is $100 to $500.....2/5 is $300 to $1000 and 5/10 is$500 no max. Hope that helps!

1/2 PLO would be a fun game!

When will the March Mania schedule be released? Will it be the same as last year?

Hi GotADream, March Mania will be pretty much the same as last year, just a few minor tweaks to make the event a little more player friendly. Dates are March 8th thru 13th. Day 1 Flights will be on the 11th and 12th, Day 2 Main event will be on March 13th! Complete details will be posted soon on the Website, Twitter and the Bravo App. Hope to see you here!

Lets do it, we would be more than happy to spread a 1/2 PLO!!!

If 1/2 or higher plo were to definitely run I would make a trip

Unfortunately, I can't predict when it will run, I can only say that is has run and we will always offer it. Our policy is to offer any game at any stakes!!!
