absolutely horrible structure when you see how fast blinds move up. i doubt i play in a single event, except maybe a satelite for the main event. i know lots of locals who share my view.

Re: Chicago Poker Championship @ Resort\'s East Chicago (Aug 1-14)
 

Can you share this structure with us, or is there somewhere to find it?

Re: Chicago Poker Championship @ Resort\'s East Chicago (Aug 1-14)
 

i asked to see a copy at the room. starting with 2000 chips and 25/50 blinds for a 500$ buy in is ridiculous. I remember the first 3 levels are

25/50, 50/100 and 75/150. So you need to make a move fast.

Re: Chicago Poker Championship @ Resort\'s East Chicago (Aug 1-14)
 

Well, its just a fast structure. You just have to adjust.

Is anyone else going to this? I think I'm going to play a satellite mon or tues.

EDIT: oh, and Jay, do you know how the satellites work? It says "single table satellite", then "# of tables = 5". wth does that mean? Is it one seat for the 5 tables? Is extra money paid to the other places?

Re: Chicago Poker Championship @ Resort\'s East Chicago (Aug 1-14)
 

for me, ill try to play a main event satelite and thats all. maybe ill take a day off work for the PLO, but that would be it.

Re: Chicago Poker Championship @ Resort\'s East Chicago (Aug 1-14)
 

I doubt I'll make it to any of the events. Thought I'd put this up for others that may be interested.

Jayheaps, do you know how the satellites work? Which one are you going to?

Re: Chicago Poker Championship @ Resort\'s East Chicago (Aug 1-14)
 

Thanks Jayheaps you let me know on a earlier post about the blinds. I was at Resorts Saturday to check it out and you are correct. The way they have the blinds the tournament will be over in two hours.

They are only going to run up to 5 individual STTs that day. First come, first served.
