That is correct - it covers the $40 rake portion.

You would need their player's club card number and a copy of their photo ID. Then you need to see a supervisor and they will help you out with it. If they have any questions, please ask them to call me.

Why do the 300s have to be so bad? They are the only options (besides worse nightlys) on those days and yet you punish the tournament players.

Slowing these down + starting size increases (never less then 10k, 30min-40min blinds) could make this series/stop quite a bit better and bring huge turnout similar to the WSOPC in WPB. Though I am worried you'll just get that amount of interest anyways and never learn.
The structures are just fine and I hope you show up to see them. A little faster in the beginning and lots of play mid to late. These are the same as I have used at Commerce during the LAPC and received great reviews!

The stepfords will still show up regardless, but its nice to be able to air your opinions on these matters. Those who rave about bad structures usually havent played anything like a Borgata $300 to compare to.

Well I guess I am stuck trying to compare the structures to the WSOPC. I'm willing to try it obviously but it just seems like it would be an average 30-45bb stack most of the tournament where it would be 50-70bb average most of a wsopc tourny.

I'm ridiculously purely speculating and its true that I've heard to many positive things about the WPT structures that you (MattSavage) have put in. I was merely concerned with the 300s and not the bigger buyins.



on a separate note; what are room/board like in this area? I want to be in an area that won't be purely poker focus so I dont really want to stay at the hardrock.. any cool places? Are people renting a house or something?

Once you get to the higher buyins the structures are much better. Rooms at the venue itself are very high. You can find something reasonable search dania on craigslist vacation rentals.

I am on the fence about coming from the 15th-25th, and if there were a high or medium stakes PLO8 tourney it would make my decision easier for me.

Not sure when u were last deep in a wsopc $300 or $500, but you most certainly did not have an avg stack of 50-70bbs. Mid-late stages of a small bi wsopc prelim has an avg stack of ~30bbs

sounds like you do more punting than winning by using the term "my personal average"
