Chris,

Really appreciate all you’re doing with the six-max tournaments.

The ideas look great to me. Looking forward to it!

Add one more vote for moving the O8 from June 1 (the day after the WSOP) to May 30 (the day before).

Chris would love a warm up senior event to go with the 6/16 event.

Chris, sorry for posting to the Goliath thread, but is the upcoming circuit event taking place on the mezzanine or elsewhere?

Would love to see an Omaha 8 later in the event.

hey chris,

i played in a few of the events last year. i really enjoyed the varying buyins - ranging from $500-$2k. i felt like i could find tournaments comfortable for me with decent, longer structures to allow players to play some poker.

but PLEASE ... try to find at least SEMI competent dealers. last year, i had 2 dealers who were just AWFUL. literally had no idea what they were doing... pushing pots the wrong way, took FOREVER to deal cards and shuffle. it was unbearable.

my only complaint... other than that, i had a great time.

Only adjustment that i feel REALLY STRONGLY about is that I wish that 6/12 Triple Draw game was pure 2-7TD and not mixed.

I absolutely get running the mixed TD event right before the corresponding WSOP event, but by the same token, I think the 6/12 TD event should link to the 6/13 WSOP 2-7TD event, so we can get our warmup hands in. I don't come out for the mixed event, and really don't feel like boning up on it as it's only gonna throw off my game for the next day. I'd probably just play 2-7TD Sats at the Rio

Thanks for listening!
seems like a logical suggestion and a great idea! 2-7 only it is!

Hi Kevin, this is a very raw draft. Just getting as much info out there as possible, the final flyer will look nothing like the raw draft.

I hear you and appreciate the feedback. One thing we highly encourage is for all players to follow our Twitter feed @ph_poker and DM us with compliments and concerns as they happen. Please include the table number so my staff and myself can observe. This gives us the best opportunity to address a concern in real time instead of after the fact.

It sounds like you are only having one Omaha 8 event then. I can't make that early one so I guess I won't see you this year. Too many graduations the first of the month in other states. I hope Binnions and the Nugget have several h/l events later in the month.

Thank you very much.

It gets said in passing, but I can't stress enough how awesome it is for us to be able to have an open 2-way dialogue and actually see actual real-time resolutions. Very much appreciated, and I'm sure it will pay dividends for all.

See y'all in June!

What was the decision on the high roller plo? Buy in and structure?

Chris, I appreciate you out here interacting with the players, open to feedback, adjusting structures, dates and buy ins where you can. The #1 thing you and your team can do is deal with the quality of dealers that you have had. Doesn't matter what you work on, if this doesn't dramatically improve you will not grow the series. I hope you are able to make significant improvements in this area. Will see you this summer. Scott

3k sounds perfect to me, I'm in! If it's going to be a one day, maybe consider starynf ar 11am or even 10am as oppose to noon? People who don't want to get up could late reg anyway, and that way maybe won't play until 5 or 6am?

Is this type of rake standard for these events?
Never played one before so thought i would look at the schedule and seems to me every mtt apart from the main is way to high rake to even bother playing.

I kindly ask you to compare our rake % with other events and buy ins
