Umm most casinos would go from 100/200 to 200.400/25 for turbo (especially satellite) tournaments.
Stopping at 150/300/25 is great in a turbo. Play more live then complain about this level...

THANK YOU FOR THIS LEVEL MASON.

yes obviously I want more play, but compare this to other tournaments and realize that it's much better than most things out there. Also- HHR cares more than most

The guarantee doesn't even have to be that high for it to be a successful tournament. I know there's a lot of factors that come into play in a decision like this.

Bill,
If you're willing, I would love to sit down with you some time and bounce some ideas.

Shouldn't be incredibly tough just bc it is out of a series, but bc of room space. FWIW the Isle took this idea and ran with it and is having a monthly $400 RE w. 200k guar. The same tourney they start each series w/

William, my chip count is listed incorrectly on that sheet. I have 41,150 not 4,150. My name is Justin Conley. No clue how that error was made because it was clearly written correctly not to mention the sheer number/color of chips should have allowed you to tell the difference.

Did Eli Elezra play in the $10K event today? Saw him and Abe Mosseri playing in a 300/600 Mix game tonight with Jason Mercier and Josh Arieh.

Someone who obviously doesn't play a lot of live poker in Florida if you are complaining about that level...
Seriously go look around at every other poker room in the state. See what levels happens after 1/200.

Also someone who is full of himself.

Thanks for a great few weeks. I Loved the $350 and cant wait for you to make this a monthly event as well. Maybe you can drop the omaha tournament on thursday nights and start a thurs, fri, sat , sun $350 monster ! You guys would blow the comp away ! Thanks again for a great series.

Any predictions why the 10k had a smaller field than last year?

Black Friday took more money out of the poker community than people realize. Last year people had just gotten their funds from Stars and presumably thought they were going to get paid by FTP before now, so there was probably more shot-taking going on. Also, there was competition from Borgata this time.

Make this a 5k next year and get 550

also add guarantees (even small ones) to your postlims, i busted day 1 and booked a flight home because without them I couldn't be sure the postlims would even draw fields (and the 1k had 2 registered 45 min before start time which indicated this was the case)

Last years 10k was bonkers
Lot of goofballs that went broke literally or just rich donks that quit poker in the past year

Assuming a crappy field for the 5k tomorrow

I think a big part of it as well is poorly setup satellites into the tourney.

They were only offering 1050 turbo satties into it instead of having mega sats for a smaller buyin. They had a huge room that they are using figured they would take advantage of it in this manner. 350 buyin for the 500k got a big turnout why not have that as a mega satellite buyin as well.
