over/under 170 for saturday's two-day

Amazingly they had 152 for the Omaha8/Stud8 tournament today. Was a nice surprise on the turnout with $18k for first.

Hopefully this is a good sign for the upcoming tournaments.

i played the 300 on monday and was approached by minh nguyen to stake him and get 50% of the winnings. i just thought that was hilarious and had to share this with everyone else

yeah I'm starting to think I'm going to skip this entire series. Was really thinking about playing the 1K + the Main but attendance in the $300 doesn't bode well. Tajaments lol

Weird that a NL tourney gets less than a split game tourney...

played with minh quite a few times, we seem to always chat a bit or I chat he nods. and most people dont know who he is or dont let on. You can just tell he's on life tilt alotta the time. and for the record, he is a real nice dude and more approachable away from the table

and you shoulda put him in the $300 60/40, Id snap do it.

Also now that there is definatly so TV coverage whats the line on the MAIN EVENT over 200?
btw i think the dates are very comfortable for guys with jobs just a long weekend and if you make the final 7 who cares if your taking a few days off for a nice payday, am i right?

Inquire about whether the company thinks you should wear some of their gear.

76 is really bad. i was going to go down and play the 6 max on tuesday but that looks like it will draw about 70 people. but i like 6 max so ill probably go anyway.

i still find it hard to beleive the split game tourney drew 150 people. maybe that was a misprint?

this...


lots of people in AC like Stud8, Omaha8, more then ud imagine. the circle isnt that big, so its an ego thing because for some local rounders, its nice to be known as the guy/girl who took down the latest STud8/omaha8 tourney

Turns out the 730+70 got 78 players, so I was off by two.
Similarly pathetic is today's 300+40. No official count yet, but it doesn't look like much.

78. Turnout was about half of what I had hopred for, but fortunately I chopped it heads-up for 15k. Once heads up we were both holding nearly exactly half the chips and decided to split it down the middle. The Taj is run so poorly it's not even funny. During most of the final table there wasn't even a TD around watching and we were keeping the time with a portable clock. It felt as if I was playing in a firehall for some charity tournament. Once the tournament ended it took us an hour and a half of standing around waiting to get paid.

There was 125 or something when all said and done, 1st place was 12.5k.

Pretty poorly run, my table was short the first two levels

then twice (per taj's rule, after the 2nd level) the dealer stopped dealing until the table was filled...first time was for a good 8 minutes, second for another 4-5 minutes.

I got knocked out in 65ish, pretty terrible play all around though will probably try to make it down to next weekends 500.

Heard they got around 250 runners for todays deep stack tourney. I think the uspc events may pick up as the date for the main gets closer. I'm hoping they get at least 200 for friday's $300 event.

Clearly not clearly, I'd be fairly but not completely shocked if it did.
