the venetian deepstack.

reason: results will be included on pokerpages.com & cardplayer.com

venetian

automatic card shufflers = more hands
40 minute blinds
hotter waitresses (obv this is -EV)

i havent played the rio deepstack... but the only 2 downsides of the venetian tourneys that i see is:

#1. tougher field... well at least tougher than Caesars... or maybe i just got unlucky and got a tough table... but venetian seems to attract more decent (aggro) players... and im sure the Rio field is going to be filled with terrible players

#2. the Venetian poker "room" sucks... its on the casino floor... so expect casino noise/traffic... slot machine noise for 12+ hours straight tilts me

Bose QC15 or 3 = +EV

It depends?

This exactly.

I'm in Vegas for a week, and plan on playing a few of each. I like the cheaper buyin for the Rio tourney, but I like the setup / structure of the Venetian's.

Having both options is great, imo.

If you're asking "which one's a better structure / setup", I believe the Venetian tourneys are superior. But you get what you pay for - they are 75% more expensive than the Rio's...

OT

Rio

WSOP atmosphere and from other posts on here I believe these are getting a bigger turnout then the V.

Thanks for the post guys, I hadn't noticed the daily tourn listed in the print at the end of the WSOP page.

The structure sheet says "June 7-July 17", but the main WSOP 2010 page says "Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday June 1-30".

I assume the main page is correct. Anyone know?

How many players are they getting on average?

Pretty sure the Tuesday Wednesday Thursday bit was from when they were $550's and they just haven't corrected it yet.
