Barona Casino New Tournaments


Recommended Posts

So for any of you So-Cal monsters that get to play a lot. Have any of you played the new barona nightly tournaments yet? If so, is it the same kind of structure as the viejas and sycuan tournaments or do they actually make it less of a crap shoot. I'm going to play golf there on Wednesday and then head to the poker room, but wasn't sure if the tourney was worth it or not. If not i'll just stick to 4-8.Thanks.

15 minute rounds. Blinds start at 25-50, not sure of how many chpis you begin with. 9 players paid, no matter how many entrants. No chops allowed. Was told they usually get 5-7 tables. I never actually played in one but played in cash games there last weekend and was talking to the dealers about them.

Sounds like the dumbest tournament ever.

Think I am going out there after class on thursday to check the tourney and cash game situation out. Hope they have the 5-5 going. Anyone interested in making it an FCP-filled field?

The 5-5 was going last Friday/Saturday morning and was very juicy. It ended up getting 5-6 handed at about 2 am and then the game shortly broke after the donators left. I'm not too sure that the 5-5 will get going on Thursday, probably just the regular 1-3. As far as the tournaments go, I was talking to one of the floor men and he told me that they pay out in casino chips so that they don't have to fill out tax forms. From what it sounded like though, the tournaments seemed like a crapshoot and a typical small stakes live tourney.

Thanks for the tip on the 5-5 socal. Does that Cody kid, with the spikey hair and who always wears the b-ball jerseys, still populate the "big" NL game? He was a great person to have in games.
