I would go with Derby, they are notorious for having the best structures in the area and players attend because of it. Recently THR did make changes to their structures, so this may change in the future.

Anyone know how the field sizes typically differ at these venues?

Also I played a $100 buy in at the hard rock a few days ago and the structure was terrible. 20min levels with some pretty steep blind jumps.

Skc has an awesome $100 tournament on Friday at noon iirc. Best value for your money at that venue, and top 5 in the area.

Royal, how could the payout for 1st have been $7K with 120 runners at a $100 buy in tourney (with $85 in prize pool * 120 runners = $10,200)? Is this a misprint?

Maybe it was a re-entry tournament.

I personally like the Silks $90+$10 for 20K starting stack, great structure and usually gets over 100 players.

I went over to THR this past Saturday. I didn't enter the tournament, but I was surprised to see there was almost 100 entrants for a 10AM tournament. I might try it out next weekend.
