fromtheashes 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 looks like the best structure, blinds/chip stack but ive never played a rebuy tourney. how does this one work can you do the rebuy right away? anyone who has played this what is the play like? all the other live tourneys ive played have been very fast paced this one should be nice with the 40 blind rounds.

You start with 1500 chips and the rebuy gets you 3000, so you start with a nice stack. The blinds go up 40min, but they double quickly, so by the level 4, if you have been card dead, you are going to need to make a push... i play this tourney every time I got to LV (about 3 times a year, 4 days a trip) and it is excellent. Good mix of local rocks and tourist..be prepared, if you do well, you will be in the tourney for at about 5-6 hours or longer. usually have 100+ entries, so a decent price pool....most final tables get all paid and mostly willing to chop if you are fair..Good Luck!

CobaltBlue 662 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Yeah, the 'rebuy' part is slightly misleading. It's essentially a one-time add-on (or rebuy) that can be taken until the first break.Everything that Dmuz said is spot on. Link to post Share on other sites

theresa113 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I absolutely LOVE this tourney. I played it twice in March and once in July. It is an awesome structure. Link to post Share on other sites
crocd99 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Whats first usually pay?when i have played it the winner got between 6-8k. when i was there during the series the winner got 8600 once. it is a very good tourney and i recommend everyone playing. they also have a good tourney at 7 which is a little more money but it is also a good tourney.

Under The Gun 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 By far the best structure for the money right now in Vegas. They get between 140 and 180 people on average. Its well worth your time and money if your looking for a tourney. Now just figure out if you want to add on immediately or play reckless with your first 1500 then add-on. The evening tourney is also a very good tourney. Its 100 + 120 with the same structure. I am prety sure it always pays over 10K at least.... Link to post Share on other sites
TS Clark 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I played this a few weeks ago while I was in Vegas. Very well-run and good structure.That said, I decided I dislike playing in live tourneys. I play lots of live cash games in Vegas, but that was my first time in a live tournament. I can tolerate the slow pace of live play (versus online) much better in a cash game, since I can get up and take a little break whenever I want. In a tourney, you really can't do that (or you will miss hands in an elevating blind structure), which really drives home the monotony of live play.But, bottom line, if tourneys are something you like a lot and you don't mind the above points, then this one is probably the best thing running in LV right now, unless you're rolled for the more expensive ones at Bellagio.

Zilla 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Also remember to get your's harrah's reward card to sign up...They use it for tracking purposes...Also if you win more then 600$ get ready for some tax forms...So you under 21 players that want to make money but not worry about taxes stay at binions or the sahara.

armen13 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I have to agree with everyone great tourneys... They have 3 a day noon 80+507pm 120+10011pm 60+10I played during first week of ME and also the last week. Big diff in number and quality of players. Overall they are very enjoyable tourneys. P.S. I don't remember which time this was for, but for some of these you had to take the add on or rebuy immediately before playing your first hand (check with dealer). Link to post Share on other sites

eYank 0 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 as in 100 to the prize pool + 120 for the house?i believe $120 for an add onthat would be the biggest bullshit if they took more then the buy in Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 You playing any cash games, anywhere? I'm exceptionally bored and trying to stay awake for another hour or so.Nah. Got most of my play in last night. Just catching up on some tv and probably going to crash in a bit. I'm thinking about playing the 100k on Bodog this afternoon, but I might have to run an errand for a few hours.Therefore, I'm considering an unusual scenario. Jordan really came through for me a few months ago with a tournament where I partially staked him. I've been trying to figure out how to get a piece again now that he's Mr. Moneybags. I'm thinking that I may play for the first few hours and, assuming I'm still in, try to convince him to take over until I get back. Should I be reticent to do so for any ethical reasons?
