Default Caesar\'s In $1,000+50 NL Tourney last night.

I didn't play any poker because my self-imposed Hiatus isn't up until Saturday but I sweated a friend. He busted out about 30th out of 100.

They limited it to 100 players and turned a large number of players away.

Don't even ask about the structure because I never saw a sheet. I am just amazed that so many people would throw down $1,050 knowing that only 10 would make the money. Caesar's might have paid less than ten but normally in their big tourneys, 10th gets his buy in back.

Default I played

What is wrong with paying 10% of the field? 10th got $2500 I believe. Pretty standard I thought.
Structure was start wtih 5k. Blinds 25-50 and they went up a level every 30 minutes.
25-50
50-100
100-200
150-300 25 ante
200-400 25 ante
300-600 25 ante
400-800 50 ante
600-1200 100 ante
800-1600 100 ante

After the first 2 hours, it was really fast. I was built up to 8k prett quick, but couldnt get past that then hung around half avg the whole time til I went out 19th.

I had no idea they ran tourneys at Cesars. They have poker tables there now? (Forgive me I haven't been there in about a year and a half).

Do they run satellites for the tourney, is it every night, and is 1K the normal buy in?

Maybe 99 should get paid, then only one guy loses his money, and everyone else makes $10.

Maybe I don't have enough gamble in me.

10% is not uncommon.
