Anyone know anything about the schedule? We are less than 6 weeks away and still TBA.... I want to book a place to stay asap, but hard to without a schedule. Anyone close to Cherokee heard anything?

It appears the schedule has been released on the WSOP website, here

Roll call...

Monster is 300k this go! Super pumped!

Anyone local seen the structure sheets in the poker room yet? Event #1 is listed as a 1 day event on the WSOP website but that would be different than the other circuit stops. I'm guessing it will likely be a typical 2 day $365 event, right?

Anyone heading up? I'm coming in for the first few events.

Planning on headed up Friday and staying the weekend. Hope the turnout is as good as it's been in the past.

how many people usually enter the satellites? looking to try to satellite into either event 2 or 3

Heading up tomorrow morning and planning to stay through the weekend

I played one of the early saturday mega's last year, there were about 30 in it. not sure if that's normal or not.

What is the standard for chopping sit n go's? I feel like I was taken advantage of in one and then feel like I might have been a little rough on the second guy I chopped with. Both times I had about a 4 to 1 chip advantage at heads up.
First time it was three handed and everyone agreed to take back buyin. Then at heads up I took 200 other guy took 100 and we played for the rest.
Next time it got down to heads up and other guy asked to chop, he said 400 me & 200 him. I said 450 / 150, and we settled on 425 / 175. Just don't want to be a jerk nor get taken advantage of.
Also what is standard dealer tip for sit n go's. I think I gave $25 both times along with other player.

Heard this am broke a record with about 250ish. I think even the ones during the week get over 100 so would not say that was normal.

After I fired three unsuccessful bullets into Event 2B and C, I cashed and chopped two straight $125 SnG’s. First one, I got down to heads up and I was an overwhelming chip lead, something like 17k-3k. Other guy asked about a chop and I offered he take $200 and I get the rest($900). He declined and we played about another 10 hands before he asked again about a chop. He had bumped his stack up to about 7k. He asked if $700/400 was okay and I agreed instead of trying to negotiate further.
Next SnG, I was big stack with four players left. Two of the guys offered they(the other 3) take $200 each and I take the remaining $500 plus the Last Longer pot (another $200). I was fine with it but the third guy didn’t want to chop so after he busted next(isn’t that how it always works?), they took $250 each, we split the $200 Last Longer and I took about $680.

Each time, I tipped the dealer $20 out of my pot plus the other guy(s) also tipped at least $15. Not sure if that’s in line with what other people tip but I think it’s fair for an hour’s work.

I personally don’t mind chopping those SnG’s since I understand the grind it takes to do well in them and avoid unlucky situations. I prefer chopping heads up but am open to 3 ways if it makes sense.

I would avoid that thing unless you like to gamble. I played the one with 250 people in it.. It has 10 min blinds and I basically got no play. But hey.. you could get lucky.. you could also go down to the roulette wheel and probably fare better with your 60 bucks.

And that’s why I have never played a mega that wasn’t for a $1500-10k seat and never played a circuit nightly. Time can be well spent in SNG’s and cash games, especially at this stop. Savor the moments here.
