I agree, also structures?

The blind structures will be ready for website posting roughly Wednesday.
Our blind structure sheets always detail the buy-in, admin fee, and dealer appreciation. An additional percentage is not taken from the prize pool.

When complete I will post the link.

got a casino promo in my home mailbox. I really did not like this and other casinos did not mail me anything just for getting a comp card and invading my privacy. Is there anyways I can tell them to never send me anything by mail again.

Since when is junk mail a privacy invasion? Are you trying to hide your gambling from someone?

LOL. Of course he is!

Tell mommy(or wife- god I hope not) that they send them to everyone who registered for some giveaway online. Or better yet grow some balls and tell them to piss off!

Seriously lots of casinos sends these after you register. I get one one annually from saratoga and i haven't been there in years.

i get mailers from lots of casinos. this is definitely not an invasion of privacy. you gave them your address. they sent you mail. it's like accusing your neighbor of stalking you because they live in the house next door.

but i would guess that yes, you can ask to be removed from their mailing list. at the very least you could go update your address to some made up street.

I never got any mail from sands even after thousands of hours and 3 years (maybe because I only play poker and not any of the -EV table games)

I wish I did rec'v mailings because whenever I rec'd mail from borgata, CET properties and other casinos, I always welcomed the free or discounted rooms and other bonuses.

What events are going to be downstairs in series in August? How many players are you averaging in Monday daily tourny?

Bigo went Sunday from 430-930pm. Nice surprise for a Sunday and ran pretty full entire session.

I only play poker but still receive them. Monthly emails on mostly non-poker promos, pre-sale info for upcoming events, outlet promos, and of course the 1 entry I have for the monthly car giveaway.

I like the pre-sale event updates, as well as the promos for giveaways, e.g. earn 5 pts for a coffee maker. A session or two will qualify.

I'm sure if it was running it would have been mentioned by now, but any chance of the hourly promo for a main event buyin?

Reviewing the thread, think you are right - postal mail. I don't get these from Sands either, but do receive from Borg and CET.

after i signed up for a card, i used to get mailings every week.

I told them to stop and ever since have not received any.

I heard through the grapevine that a 5/10 reg at the Sands is still in the main event. Guys name is William Tonking, can anyone confirm?

My sincere thanks for this! You just saved me a good bit of work and likely a good bit of frustration from other posters who decided to post about it without providing evidence of the subject being a famous player.

He's an excellent player, both live and online, cash and tourney obviously. Seems like a pretty nice young kid, not arrogant and obnoxious like a lot of the younger players. Played with him bunch of times online and a couple times live. Good cash player, although I believe he is a much stronger tourney player. Thoughtful controlled aggro I would describe him. Pretty good fit for tourney play. Wondered where he was online past few weeks(NJ). Now I know lol.

I'm pretty sure I saw him on final table and I think he finished like 4th or fifth in a Sands main event couple years back.

Wish him the best of luck. Hope he has most of his action. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

So here is the schedule for the Deepstack Extravaganza.

No mention of fees. Is it reasonable to assume there are none? Me thinks not.

PA Sands is easily one of the all time sorriest excuses of a cesspool masquerading as a poker room.

Dave said the fees would be broken down on the structure sheets. It's still kind of meh, as a decent amount of casual players probably don't even look at the structure (then again they are likely the same subset to not care how much juice they are paying).

Any update on when the structures are coming out?

PDF of blind structures with fees are complete and available in the Poker Room. Once they are loaded onto the website I will post the link as the PDF is too large to attach here.
