WSOP Circuit: Tunica. MS FEB 2012 - Page 3 - WSOP and Tournament Circut

Hey BigTex,

It looks like this will be the next tourney I play as my work is insanely busy and the timinig of this just happens to work out. I haven't been to Tunica since around 2006 or 2007 and I stayed at the Goldstrike back then because I was doing WPT tourneys. So for this WSOPC thing, I was thinking of staying at the Shoe since it was a super nice place to play table games in my poker down time. With that in mind, do you happen to know if Harrahs still runs a shuttle from the Shoe to the Harrash casino where the WSOPC tourneys are played? (and if if runs late into the night while the series is running)

They still run a shuttle between ceasars properties but I think it stops around midnight or 1 am and in the past they did not extend the hours for the tourney kinda of stupid not to but the Rio didn't even extend their shuttle hours during the wsop and God knows Ceasars is not going to spend a dime extra to pay drivers for extra hours for poker players. And in reality there is no cab service either since there is only one cab in Tunica and he works when he feels like it.

It's too far to walk to the Shoe @ 2AM, or to the Veranda (and whatever that other Caesars property is). I'll have to think this one through and do some more research.

Thanks BigTex!

Ahhhhhh. I see now. I guess I could just stay at one of the other properties then... and just use the shuttle to the Shoes during the daylight hours when I bust from a tourney early. lol

You got it girl just stay at one of the 3 harrahs hotels at that property and take the shuttle to the Shoe and return to harrahs before the shuttle shuts down or tell the poker room floor and they will help get you a ride it might be with an old man like me but I've been known to be a taxi service and give a pretty girl transportation to Harrahs on my way home.

Cool. Hopefully, I will be playing late enough each evening to even need a ride from you or BigTex. lol Though, my last couple of tourneys, I was out before the dinner break. (ooops).

Hey, congrats again on your "WIN"star.

Jimmy is in the process of making some changes in it based on what he has seen here in Bossier City so just give him some time to make improvements.

Looking forward to seeing the improvements based on Bossier City. I can at least dream about coming out for the entire series because the very reasonable hotel rates make that possible. Airline rates from NC for non-stops to Memphis are anohter story so I'd like to start watching for an airfare sale.

Try flying into Little Rock - Southwest will usually keep the rates lower. You will need a rental car anyways.

Thanks for the tip. Right now Delta is pretty competitive with SW, but I'll watch for a sale.

Yeah its mostly the fact that SW serves the airports that helps keep the other airlines in check. Sometimes I can save up to $400 a flight just by hitting Little Rock or Nashville.

Hope to see a HU event, if it is $500 or $1K. I'd come from AC for this and a few others for sure.

Have there been PLO ring/non ring events running at these past couple circuit events? (2011/2012 season)

What's up with event #2? It says its a re-entry event meaning having a 1a and 1b, yet it says it's only a 2 day event, typo?

Sat, Feb 4th
12:00 PM
2-Day Event Event #2: No Limit Hold'em

Re-entry event. Players eliminated in 2A may re-enter in 2B.

Also I'm a little confused on the main event, so both 1a and 1b are on the same day? One at 12pm and one at 7pm?
