Aladdin tournaments are terrible
 

I find it's an available tournemnt in the back of card player. Someone had mentioned they would play in it at my 2-5 NL table at Bellagio.

I check it out. I buy in right away and find out that out of 60 for the buy in, 17 is juice! If that's not bad enough, it's not a rebuy, but you can buy back in, for another 60 bucks!

Of course, I didn't cash in tournaments earlier that do so I buy in twice (after calling with second nut flush on river--I didn't cry like Adam though), cash for just a little more than my buy in and get out.

Never again.

Oh, and they don't give you cash, you get chips for your prize at the end. Lovely.

They didn't even ask for a tip for the dealers either.

Just so bad...

Every other tournament I've seen is run better and a better deal, although the players at Aladdin were the worst amongst Bellagio, MGM Grand, Plaza, and Bally's WSOP Circuit tournaments.

I've played a couple of these and they were what I expected...a low limit holdem tourney. But thanks for posting this ...

Glad I could give you a laugh. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]


And I showed them, I didn't bet a single one of those chips, even though table games were close.

Take that Aladdin! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Most tournaments that I have played pay with chips not cash. And when I cashed at the WSOP I was paid with chips.

Re: Aladdin tournaments are terrible
 

Are there any tourneys you guys would recommend? Which casinos have the best structures? Lookin for buy-ins between 50-150, with or without rebuys.

Re: Aladdin tournaments are terrible
 

i played these daily tournies for two straight weeks a couple months ago. Not the best run place, but friendly, fun and a total fish pond. You want to play the noon tourbey...i think it's a $100....I cashed 8 times in two weeks, winning three times!

Easy money.
