2024 Las Vegas Summer Series - non-WSOP - Page 11 - WSOP and Tournament Circut

The lists can be pretty brutal for some games. What I have normally done, is to call ahead and put your name on the list. You headover and check-in, go for lunch or a snack and then hopefully you are close to the top. I also think it's best to be flexible and put your name on a few different games.

Also, looking on Bravo to see what the situation is in terms of number of tables and the list for that game. 3 tables with a 55 person waitlist is a no go, 10 tables with a 55 person waitlist can go pretty fast.

A lot of people at or near the top of the list will have bailed. so when they open a new table they may end up getting down to 16th or lower on the list before it's filled.

Wynn in the past only allowed sign up in person. That may have changed with their migration to PokerAtlas.

If OP hasn’t already, get Bravo and PokerAtlas apps to see what lists are like, sign up on app and poker room phone/rules for signup.

Be warned - some rooms only show the list of folks in room and checked in, not call ins. Aria wa stray way last year

Playing the Resorts World nightly right now.

Pros:
Comfortable chairs
9 handed
Good dealers
GOD AWFUL players

Cons:
Colors of chips too close together, and too close to some felt areas
Table surface insanely busy, hard to distinguish chips and cards
Late reg open til 11:30 for a 7pm nightly, too long

I really like that room, and I can confirm the field in their tournaments is super soft. How did you finish? If you were there until the end, how late did it run? I'm considering playing it if I have an early bust from the Monster Stack this weekend, but if it's likely to run past 1:30 AM or so I'd probably only consider it for the last night of my trip.

Played the $150 Green Chip Bounty last night at GN......

I was freerolling from a cash game and totally intended on playing fast and loose from the first hand.

Starting stack 12k, blinds 20 min
Hand 1: QJo raised 1 limper, heads up on a AJTr flop, cbet, call, turn 9o, check/check, river 7, bet/call, V turns over A9

Hand 2: 74hh called 3x raise pre, 3 ways, A48r, turn Th bringing backdoor, river blank fold.

Hand 3 (same player as hand 2): Q3 bb option checked, flop Q98dd, check jam 10bbs, OMR reships over me, turns over K3cc......lol turn K.

Better value for $50 down the road at RW, no brainer.

There were 87 runners, paid 9, $4590 up top.
