Aladdin to hold $50,000 freeroll for players
I got this from the Aladdin casino in Las Vegas today on a flyer that they had at the counter.

I could see this promotion failing easily, but seems like a good way to get people onto their poker tables, it has no value to tourists though, who represent pretty much the only worthwhile demographic of people in Vegas.

Eh, If someone was going to be there for the last week of February/First week of march they could do it. I could do 60 hours in 4 days pretty easily.

I usually do 8-15 hour sessions. I've done a 21 hour one recently.

[/ QUOTE ] I'd get there a week or 10 days ahead and just put in a solid 8-10 hours a day to get to the 60. |

[/ QUOTE ] your math is a bit off, but 15 hours/day for 4 days live wouldn't be all that difficult. it's nowhere near as taxing as online poker. |

Re: Aladdin to hold $50,000 freeroll for players
lets see here--the California crowed is up every weekend---
The Az, crowed is on a lot----ummmmOh yeah Utah has a showing now and then----I see how this has no value to tourist---kind of slim pickings here---- oh and lets not forget all the Stations Casinos who thrive off of locals--I guess that is not worthwhile to go after-- 10 tables in each stations casion (or so) filled from 12:00 pm to 12:00 am, 120 players each room--300 to 400 players that live here---not counting the locals who play low limit everyday on the strip---another few hundred -- WOW your right this could fail---- What a bad PROMO this is-----I bet the poker room staff is re-thinking this one |

Hey don, why don't you just skip the sarcasm and do what I would do...
KICK 'EM ALL IN THE NUTS AND SORT 'EM OUT LATER!!! Actually, the promotion should do just fine. I might even have to qualify for it myself just so I can make a few last longer bets with you bee-otches. al |
