Glad to see ring events for horse and omaha 08 this yr. That will attract more players to those games.
Hammond schedule?

Each stop is not the same. for instance Tunica has a local flavor of PLO and 2-7 Triple Draw. So, I have included this on the schedule as a ring event. I also have Pot Limit Holdem there.
Rincon has Stud 8 or better and Omaha 8 or better as a variety game , along with a-5 and 2-7 triple draw. AS far as Limit Holdem goes. I have tried to keep it on the schedule, but lack of participation has caused me to drop.

Do you really think limit Omaha high will be a bigger draw than Limit hold-em? Where is this game even played? There isn't even a single WSOP event for it.

I guess we will see. I was asked by 5 different people from the New Orleans area to Include this on the schedule. So i did. We will see. BUt truthfully I believe it will outdraw a Limit event. Variety from the Norm is what I am trying. It is not a Ring Event. Maybe we should put a LIMIT OMAHA HIGH game in at the wsop?

In 2009 Event #1 $300 No Limit at wsop circuit Event on a Thursday had Over 500 Players

Next Day was a Friday....Event #2 $200 Limit Holdem 92 Players.

7 card stud 72 players

So yep, I think this will draw more....Geez I get paid by player count...

Jimmy, I think your doing a good Job, I want stud events myself, but understand you guys can't reserve the resources for a tournament that draws under 100 people. Your on the right track and can't expect to make everyone happy, I understand that.

1. Have you guys looked at adding a little more play to the Single table sats, doesn't have to be huge, but say if it was 1,500 starting maybe doing 2,000 or if it was 1,000 doing 1,500 ?

2. Also, will you guys be running single tables to the main event per demand?

Also remember when you post the structures it's important to post the buy-in levels and structures offered for your single table and multi-table satellites. Alot of people like myself are coming mainly to try and satellite into the main event and need to know this + when you call the property's the guys running the room never know.

Again, keep up the good work and thanks for being so responsive here.

JIMMY! Please, while the Tunica is not yet official, drop the absurd Limit Omaha High and replace it with the PLO8 you promised Hank and I back in '09 after the PLO8 was announced but was actually played at limit.

sweet looks great, i love the 4 and 7PM tourneys, incase you bust from the ring event you can hop in something. Good idea!

Jimmy, any way you can get one of the major sites (PS or FTP) to sun satellites to the $10k super-regionals?

By the way Limit Omaha High was a bracelet event within the last five years and went the way of Chinese Poker and the dodo bird.

Correction - the last Limit Omaha Hi bracelet was awarded in 2002. Miami John Cernuto won in 2002 and Eddy Scharf in 2001. Sklansky bagged one in the '80s.

i'm pretty sure anything would be better than limit ohi but if it's not a points event i guess i don't really care. am i the only person that loves shootouts?
2010-2011 WSOP circuit announced Quote
07-14-2010 , 02:39 AM
Any shootouts or heads up events?

No shootouts in my circuit events. Ties up too many tables for too long, I do not have enough space for a shootout or heads up. I think that New Orleans stop may keep these games.

I thought IP Biloxi wasn't owned by Harrah's. How can they hold a Circuit Event?

Harrah's bought the property in 2005.

According to that, Harrah's only bought the Imperial Palace in Vegas. It says in the sidebar that it is still owned by Imperial Palace of Mississippi, LLC.

Hmm, you're right.

Guess I got pwned there. So how can the IP Biloxi have a WSOP-C event?

From Jimmy last Year:

Quote:
Yes there will be a WSOP Satellite Event at the IP. In order for a NON-Harrahs property to host a wsop satellite event they must be approved in all operations, Coordinations, and Staffing. Ip has been given a yearly license to host a wsop event. I along with my staff(All employed by WSOP )will be directing the tournament. We will also be directing the Tunica, Rincon and St.Louis events.

Jimmy,

Was there ever any discussion of having a stop at Caesar's Windsor in Canada?

Would be nice - and theres obviously a huge poker following up here.

IP is IP Resort, Casino, Spa. it is not named Imperial Palace.

I am pretty sure there will be at least 1 more Circuit stop, and probably 2, that are not affiliated with Harrah's. Harrah's Interactive is working with these two properties to get them licensed. They would fit in the Time slot right before Tunica and right after Tunica, if they get approved.
