Having a tough time deciding which one to play on May 30th. The Aria $470 8 game mix or the Golden Nugget $250 HORSE. Which one do you think will have the bigger prize pool? I assume Aria since the buy in is twice the amount but curious as to number of runners. I don’t see this event on their schedule last year so it’s hard to gauge. Any idea which field will be softer?

I see that GN did not make the same mistake as last year of putting it on the schedule as a No-Limit HORSE event. That one drew barely two dozen runners. Being early in the tourney season, I am guessing the late-May HORSE event at Nugget draws about 100 entries. Would probably guess the same general number on the eight-game mix at Aria.

Both fields will have an element of 'softness' because of how many people just are not good at limit and big-bet games. The real question is whether you feel you have a strength in most of the games in the eight-game mix. Having played a few of those, it always seemed as though a lot of players were simply not good at a majority of the games in the mix, but held their own in the no-limit orbit.
