Something like they have in LA Commerce. 4 day 1's with a guaranteed of $300k with a possibility to rebuy on each day if you get knocked out. Buy in around $300-$500.

Ooooh how about like that one site has, "All-in or Fold" tournaments. Make it like $100 buy-in and just watch the insanity ensue as you get a 1,000 player tournament over by level 3.

LOL... i was going to suggest something insane like this too....and it could be a fun '2 hour' tourney with small buy-in of let's say $100.... shootout format, and everyone at all tables go all-in on the first hand dealt... no folding allowed...one winner per table moves on to a redraw, and repeat until one single winner...if there are 100 players, it will need 10 tables/dealers, and shouldn't take more than a couple of hours...and winner walks away with 5K ...you can even have lots of alternates...their wait will only be a few minutes until tables open up for the flipament

Please don't change structures on prelims, yours are the best for a reason.

6max shootout
&
PLO with re-buys would also be very sick

Please disregard any suggestions about making preliminaries faster. I usually play every prelim under 1k (when i'm not playing a day 2) and can guarantee a worse structure would definitely keep me away completely.

Seems kind of lame, when it's no different than putting names in a hat and drawing numbers to decide a winner. Would even save you all the trouble of even getting seated, allowing you to play cash games or craps and Borgata wouldn't have to worry about paying dealers. The only thing missing would be sweating turn and rivers in a 10 way allin.

PLEASE GODDDD

Full ring shootout

6max shootout

but not those fake shootouts from foxwoods, the real deal,1winner each table...

SOME sort of superturbo for a small buy-in to test it out, think i would be huge hit...start with 1k in chips and like 10-15 minute levels...everyone will know what they are getting into before-hand so nobody can complain...maybe on a day where you offer a $350 as well so people have the choice.

As I stated previously I think the heads up should be LOWERED to $1k instead of $2k, it makes it more fun and less serious as probably about 59 of the 64 ( no exaggeration) are friends in some sort of way, at least acquaintences....and its not really for the money in that one more the prestige....You then would have the option to bump it to 128 and make it single elimination which would probably take the same amount of time as it does now with 64.

Tab you are great, and you have an amazing tan all year round.

how about 1/2 NLH & 1/2 PLO (lower buyin, shorter levels)

HOSE or HORSE + NLH + PLO (higher buyin)

Mixed stud event (all the stud games) 7card stud , 7 card stud hi/lo, and Razz

make the PLO event short handed. 6max would be great but if its not practical because it takes up too many tables how about starting the tables 10 handed as players bust balance the table out to be 7 or 8 handed.

10 handed PLO is slowwwww......

please make the plo structure the same chips and level times as the same priced nlh tournaments. in september the levels were 10 mins shorter and the tourn ended in like 6 hours.trust me us plo players will get it done fast eough. its a gamblers game. limit tourns as well. we pay the same price and should get same structure. our games get less hands per hour already. then the levels are shorter just makes it even worse
