Just an FYI to anyone still reading the thread thinking about buying in to day 1C, as of 1:00am, only 10 seats remained of the 500 available.

Just a tip from a cash game regular, if u want to get into a cash game just eye the tables u want to play on and when someone gets up just go sit over there and say is this the 2 5 able or etc they were talking about??? I swear it works everytime. Last night I was there huge waits, I just walked right up to 2 5 table once somone busted, and walked right on. Do not waste ur time on the list unless u feel moraly obligated too!! but whats moral about a casino who charges you beer and to play table games!! ??

You, sir, are a douche. Regardless of how you try to rationalize it, you're not "beating" the casino with this angle - you are just screwing your fellow players.

First of all half the names that are on the list dont show up when there name is called in the first place. Second of all, Its winstars fault for not having a paging system like choctaw. Its so annoying to hear the damn floor man the whole time while I play poker. Plus u dont know the half of it. winstar always sits its regulars first regardless... if u know people just like in any buisness its who u know not what u know..

Hey u stay on that list!! and keep waiting!!

I was there last night and it was a packed out house. They are right about the sits only alternates now. Im about to go back up there and ck it out. Just had to watch first day of college game day!! Football is back!!!

Anyone think a big name pro is gonna win it this year? My friend has odds against me to take the field or big name pro that wins this year.. I took the field laying him 5 to 1.

Btw...since JackofSpeed won't self promote, I'll do it for him. He made it though Day1b with a stack over 300k as one of the chip leaders. And if his KK didn't get snapped by QQ for nearly 200k late in the day, would have had over 500k.

Good luck on a deep run tomorrow!!

Bagged 270k and better yet I don't have to back to winstar for the 3rd bullet.

Out of curiousity..does the money bubble bust on each consecutive day 1?

Got offered 2800 for my ticket today and sold it. I busted halfway through Friday and that was enough for me. You talk about a mine field. Tough tough grind to the end in this deal. Race after race after race. Good luck to any 2p2ers playing Sunday. Cash games were the best I have ever seen at Winstar last night.....

ty boltonflats, time to run good tomorrow.

Also I have live cash for online moneys if anyone needs it, I know DavidTth does as well but I think he's playing in the Main Event today.

10% of the field moves on each day, all in the money. I assume Dealer-Guy will have payout info later this evening.

DG, what time should players report on Sunday?

Uncool sir. There is a big difference in life between doing the right thing vs. doing what you can get away with. Sounds like you have not learned the difference.

busto, couldn't run worse in three days of live poker if i tried. is anyone going to austin (or further and can drop me off) in the next couple of days? need a ride 1time

out, never got anything going. oh well, gl to all those left

Glad to have made it through... I really didn't want to have to fire the second bullet after winning the first bullet in a mega, but I was strongly considering it. I have 109,500 going into Day 2, blinds will probably be 3k/6k/500. Average is 98k or so but I'm sure that will go up quickly on Sunday as all the shorties bust.

Didn't realize JackOfSpeed was the guy that got his KK snapped off, I saw that hand... he was at the table behind me and I was up stretching while someone was tanking at my table. I wonder how many of you I actually played with and had no clue. I did have a pretty fun table with Brandon Stevens and SoonerCT22, both are good peeps and there was lots of good natured needling.

There was definitely some lolhorrific play though... people shoving over raises with KTs, shoving over a bet with A3o on A64 board , people raising 5x at 2k/4k, etc.

DG - What was the final count for today?

1-secret-1: Registration for Day 2 starts at 9am, Play starts at 11am. As the floor guys said, "you can show up whenever you'd like."

this is straight up the nut most frusturating/dumbest tournament ever- even if winstar offered me 100k just to show up here again, id prob say no- i got slowrolled/nitrolled at least 5 times today, twice by the stone nuts- safassasafsaagasgasgasgsagasg

11AM is the start time on Sunday as well.

I did not get a payout sheet, it will be ready on Sunday.

You cannot prove the part about regulars getting seated first since it does not happen.

46 full tables and long lists, sorry, it's the price the casino pays for being a very good poker room.

Sorry we were so busy you decided it was more acceptable to jump the line, or as I prefer to call it, cheat, but it appears to have worked for for you.

By doing so all you have done is prove yourself to be a man(?) of little or no character.

Good job!

players actually got shut out of today, including my friend Ylon who drove in this morning from Austin... I don't understand why they limit the amount of players. Lots of players pretty unhappy with how this all went down...

46 tables and long lists, good poker room!! hahahha.. ur the only poker room closest to denton and dfw. choctaw is making better and faster progress than u guys and u guys have had a head start. U guys have ur own 3.5 million gurauntee with a turbo donk structure and block out people who travel here to play in it but yet advertise it out for people to come? great chairs? yeah considering they suck and choctaw has reclinable ones, great service? i see so many times i see open chairs and ur tournment director room manager or hosts are too busy flirting or talking about sports rather than doing their job, so thats why i grab an open seat. Im not gonna wait for ur manger to stop flirting with the only semi hot chick in the room.. ur ccocktail servers look like white trash.. looks and apperance obviously do not matter for ur dealers and ur staff.. non pressesd shirts.. im sorry but u are so obvlious to what a great poker room is and are far from it. Ur paging system for the list is ridiculous and so annoying for the staff and players. Choctaw is signs with wsop for circuit event and wont blockade and cap their limits of players entering thats for sure. U guys have this huge headstart on the game and have failed to make any progess on satisfying ur players. U just opended a big not climate controlled room and shoved tables into it to rip ur players. Ur bad bead jackpot doesnt make sense considering all the money u pull out. bOSSIER CITY has half the tables and their jackpot is 127,000

Character? u want to talk character and u work at a casino.. LOL..

on top of all that, ur own poker room manager jay doesnt even get feedback with comment cards, comming on here, they have some hourly dealer who works for tips do their dirty work for them and not even pay u. U are brain wash by the chicksaw tribe son!! Succesfull poker rooms and tournament directors pay attention to the poker scene. The only reason u get this many players every year is because ur run those donk structure sit n gos for a year. to fill it up. U advertise ur tournament in poker magazines for people to come out. they fly out and what do u guys do turn them back around because u have exceeded ur entrant total!!?? lmao. who turns away buisness. no comphensation no nothing.. wow.. keep beliving winstar and ur room is great. because ur players sure dont think so, they just dont have many other choices right now. Put ur palace in vegas, la, or anywhere else u would fail and go bankrupt!

Welcome to winstar world casino, where we want u to come out and not play!

This happens every year at this dumb casino u would think they would learn. Thats why dfw dallas cardrooms are still so profitable even with horrible rake, because at least they let people play.

made day 2 after going 0/2.... ended with 140k, prob above avg so ill take it...

congrats!
