Playing down to 15% instead of 20% in events with multiple Day 1's is a nice improvement, though 12% would be even better

If I'm reading the structure sheet right the $340s are $310 + $30. Kind of weird that you're doing it that way. When people see a $340 they assume it's a $300 + $40, which is way too much rake.

I agree. But I was almost going to dismiss the 340's because I assumed it was $40 rake. They should advertise them as 310+30's

Thanks Joe. They need to dedicate you to be a Q&A person. Always interested in cash obv since that's what I play mostly/every casino has some different rules one way or another.

I have to say though, THR hollywood has best cash setup(5/10+) that I've played.

I also thought Hampton was ok the few times i stayed there, however, after hearing about a friend of mines room getting broken in to at 10:30 at night I am not so sure. The Westin is a couple bucks more but is better IMO.

For the love of god, do not stay at Alpha Stay Hotels/ Marie Green Forum. I made the mistake of not booking a hotel before I got down there a couple years ago for this event and that was the only place that had available rooms. Huge mistake. Place is like a badly converted mental hospital/ half-way house.

What kind of turnout has the Sunday $500 satellites been getting? Are the tickets "must play" by the winners?

Turn outs so far have been fair. There have been 4 non transferable seats won. I expect this coming Sunday to be much better and as we get closer we have several satellites scheduled. I'll post that schedule later this week.
You cannot get cash or transfer a ME seat won in a satellite unless you have proof that you already have one.
