boyitalia 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 After playing in a few 500 dollar Venetian Deep Stack events, and a few WSOP 1500 events last year, I feel like the deep stack events are a better value for the money. You get more chips, the blind structure is pretty close to the same. Maybe the only drawback is the fields at the Deep stack were a little tougher? Seems like the is a lot of other Casinos hopping on Venetian's bandwagon also this summer. What do you guys think? Link to post Share on other sites

dscoot 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 wsop by a mile. beside the money, the bracelet the glory the fame the tv time. But most importantly , if your gonna go on a rush and compile 1.3million chips in any tournament, u might as well be in one with more players so that when u do take down first you get paid even more.

mx957 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I played both last year. I liked the Venitian better from a poker stand point. Can't beat the WSOP from a "Brand Name" point though. So, if I bust out of the WSOP, I head over the Venitian the next day. In fact, they sent me an offer to stay out there this year at a decent rate. Link to post Share on other sites

boyitalia 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 play both? With the greater varience in tournaments , and a limited willingness to commit a chunk of my bankroll built up through cash games, I am just wondering if it was worth playing a couple 1500 events at WSOP when I could enter 3-5 times as many at the Venetian for the same amount of money. I understand the prestige of the WSOP but unless your playin in a 5g event or higher really don't think your getting much more out of it than the Deep Stack, but thats why im askin you guys. Thanks for the input so far Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the input so farhonestly, the venetian tourneys become crapshoots around the bubble. i played the lo8 one last year and went from 50BB to 8BB in a span of 2 orbits just by folding preflop, and ended up being the bubble boy (BBFIDTS, i know, lol). but seriously, the venetian structure late was so bad that i complained to the tourney director afterwards. gilbertology (josh) told me the same thing about their nlhe tourneys, too.

I love it cause there is actually more action than usual at the Venetian. I like the their pokerrom a ton more than Bellagio. Less cramped, cleaner etc... Frankly I think the only reason I play the tournies is for the whole competition factor. I am around a break even tourny player when it comes to outside my local casino(Lucky Chances) So with that being said I guess the WSOp is the way to go if I am in it for the competition aspect. You will definatly find me at the 2-5nl 5-10nl cash during June though. Link to post Share on other sites
