Caesars Palace tries running against the Venetian Deep Stack Extravaganza again with their low buy-in series of events. The Main Event has dropped their buy-in to $1,000+$70+10.

wowza, havent played at one of their series in a while, was their structure ever this bad? i know venetian improved theirs over the last year, is that all that accounts for the difference between the two? or did caesar's worsen theirs (in their typical fashion)?

Main event you start with 50,000 chips at 25/50. 60 minute levels.

all for $1080. lol @ bad structure.

has anyone played this or planning on playing?

Yeah, I have played in these before, great tournament room, quiet etc. 2 day events with low turnout fields can be tilting, structures are not bad at all, they probably will get Ok number of players before VDSE starts on 10/28.

4PM Super turbos pretty interesting event/structure. Probably will play the ME on 11/2 dependent upon how my first few days of the VDSE goes.

haha, yea starting chips tell whole story about a structure.

yes the main event is the best value structure wise (as always), but longer level length is more the reason ultimately than starting chips.

i was looking more at the smaller trnies that fill the schedule, wherein after starting w/ 10k (for $230), 4th lev is 2/400. speaking of levels, let's compare this venetian's, which still isn't as good as a Matt Savage similar buyin imo.

Comparison of Venetian Deepstack structures and Caesar's 230/340/550
(Notice also Caesar's wondrous start antes late/huge philosophy)

Venetian level 6: 2/400 a25 CPC level 6: 400/800
level 13: 12/2400 a300 CPC level 13: 2/4000 a500
level 20: 6/12000 a2000 CPC level 20: 10/20000 a3000

Wow, this went from a $10K with a $1 million guaranteed first prize to a $1K in a few years time.

Event #1, $235 NL, has a field of 232 entries, ~9k for first.

The schedule says they play to 17th level or until they get to final table on day 1. Anybody know which is more likely to happen? I'll be there next week and am thinking about but may not play if day one takes 13 hours.

I'm trying to decide between this and the Venentian daily.

seems like fields are way small but out of curiousity how many runners is $550 on sat(10/30) gonna get?

Would guess maybe 60 or so if that

anyone care to set a line for runners in the 1k?

i like 125

eww

just looking at the $1k me structure makes me lol

start 1000 bb deep
u can late reg 7 levels in and still have 50k at 500/1000
60 min levels, 90 min levels at ft


what a grind lol

looks like this will have >200 runners

258 players as of this post, and registration closes at the start of level 7. Prize pool wise, there will probably be more than that as the tourney allows re-entries as well.

290 entries, but the registration list treats a rebuy as a separate entry.

why is the 3rd-2nd pay jump bigger than the 2nd-1st?

Same goes for 4th-5th

1st $59,070
2nd $45,430
3rd $29,537
4th $25,317
5th $19,691
6th $14,065
7th $10,830
8th $8,836
9th $6,892
10-12th $4,650
13-15th $4,079
16-18th $3,376
19-27th $2,813

Day 2 chips/seats

me, siola, icurarook and the w00zle still in this thing w/ 15 left. not sure who has chip lead or whatnot. i dubb'ed last hand of night... at the same time my boy icurarook dubb'ed on other table lolz.

GL Sketchy1 TID!

gl 2 jon and siola

wow those payjumps at the FT are just ridiculous. Further reason why CP-LV fails miserably at running a quality worthwhile MTT series. Given it's location, the harrahs/wsop brand, and decent space it's amazing how this poker room just can't get it together. Their mega stack series is a joke and their CPC series has been an afterthought for all circuit regs (outside of vegas) for years now. Really hope they can turn things around because the poker room as a whole is pretty decent. GL sketchy and anyone else still in...
