I would love to play, but it is just too hard to play there. As Stein said, it's more than a 3 hour drive for me (which kills me being in the car that long). Also, the hotel room situation there is always a pain (i.e. not enough) even before the WSOP-C is there.
I personally don't think you will get numbers like Choctaw.... because the distance to drive there from 2/3 of the DFW area is just too far for most of the recreational players.
And, I had not heard anything about this either. I'm not sure where these TV and radio ads are playing, but I haven't heard them. I only learned about this because someone at The River series mentioned it at my table today. Out of the 10 of us there, only the person who mentioned it seemed interestedin driving out there.
Hopefully, I'll be wrong though and you guys will get a nice juicy pool. But if *I* am going to travel 3+ hours for a tourney, I'll do it by hopping on a plane instead. lol
And per an earlier post, yes, the Horseshoe has/had valet. It's been 2 years since the one and only time that I made that drive, but back then it was easy to do... and I seem to recall the cost was only the cost of a tip to the valet.
Good luck out there.
