xxxmen 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hey guys,I'm looking for a poker room that has SNG's. Do most casino's along the strip have these set ups? Where do you guys recommend to play for SNG's. Also I'm looking to see if there is any place I can purchase Poker affiliated merchandisealong the strip. Looking for PokerStars/FullTilt/PhilHelmuth Gear, nothing specific. Is there such a store or gambling merchandise storefront in Vegas? Link to post Share on other sites

MJINK3 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Mandalay Bay was running them when I stayed there about in early 2007, but I didn't go back in October when I was there. Link to post Share on other sites
xxxmen 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 I usually play cash games, but would like to try these SNG's. It seems these are not very common at the casino's. So is it really that rare to find SNG's in casino's on the Vegas strip? How about old Vegas?Is it possible to request a Poker room manager to set-up a SNG if there is an interest? Has anyone here ever done that in Vegas? Link to post Share on other sites

xxxmen 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 When the casino's post the BUY IN--Let's say it's $100; then they state Admin Fee of $25, does that mean the total is $125.00 or is it included in the BUY IN already??? I'm referring to the link at:http://www.allvegaspoker.com/tournaments.phpAlso some tourney's stated have an "%return" column. Does this mean the higher % are better to play for money to be WON?

psujohn 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Buy-in includes the fee. $100 Buy-in - $25 Fee = $75 + $25 in online terms%return is just what portion of the buyin goes to the prize pool. $75 + $25 = 75% returnIn general you'll find that SNGs are hard to come by. Even places that offer them don't often run them in reality. I've seen them run maybe once or twice at MGM in probably 60-70 hours of play. Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedKills 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 SNGs have horrible structures. They will start you with about 1200 chips and start ten minute levels at 25-50 Link to post Share on other sites
Vick12 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I play a ton of sng's online, but I am hardly an expert. I am pretty sure that most live sng's are statistically unbeatable longterm due to the rake. I could be talking totally out of my ash, but I am pretty sure that unless u run at like 40% roi...they are impossible to beat.I am too retarded to do the math so if a math guy wants to help explain it better....cool.

I registered for it, sat at a $3/$6 game, racked up $85 in 25 minutes waiting for it to fill, then free rolled it. That was my ONLY live SNG experience. Link to post Share on other sites
xzanos 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Mirage.They run $70 and $120ish sng's like all day, but they only pay top two. I'm sure if you make it to the last three, you could discuss a deal though.I'm sure it would be fun to play one or two, but if you like money, don't play these. Any 1/2 or 1/3 nl game in any room on the strip has higher moneymaking potential than a sng. Link to post Share on other sites
cdipierr 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 SnG structures in Vegas are awful, don't bother. If you want to play tournaments, cough up the extra bucks and play the good ones. You'll just be disappointed in the lottery-like low buyin and SnG stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
grocery_mony 8 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Binions had them from about $80 to $1000(at least thats what thye advertised). I believe these were winner take all. Link to post Share on other sites

KoRnholio 2 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 There are lots of casino/poker rooms with smaller field tournaments that would play more like a multi-table sit n go. Last year I played a few at the Sahara that had 45-75 people per tournament. Link to post Share on other sites
