Re: Tunica WSOP Circuit Event Schedule of Events
Cool. Thanks for the list. I might sneak down for the first $300 event. Hopefully we will be able to sign up further in advance then the WPO last year. I had to stand in line for over 3 hours to get in to the event.

Re: Tunica WSOP Circuit Event Schedule of Events
just to clarify for those who don't know.....
these circuit eventa are taking place at the Grand. but there's little doubt that the games at the horseshoe will be awesome. i too am hoping that the lines for the tourneys and satellites aren't too horrendously long. also - since most area players here in the south haven't seen the computerized wait-list system at the Wynn in Las Vegas I'll throw in my little 2-cents-worth that it's pretty cool. Always knowing how far down the list you are by just looking at the screen is quite nice. |

Hmmm...maybe if the airfare looks good, I'll take a trip [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]. Do you think there will be hold em games bigger than 20-40 (say 40-80, 75-150, etc). Stud games?

[/ QUOTE ] There will be any game you want to play. Durring the WPO the limit games went as high as 400-800 and the PLO was huge. Of course the 4000-8000 game was going also but I'm not sure if that crowd is coming or not. |

What is it that makes the games so good? I mean why are they so much better than the regular touristy cash games and tournies you would have normally? If anything, it seems like these events would attract more skilled players. What am I missing? |

Re: Tunica WSOP Circuit Event Schedule of Events
Tired people on tilt from being eliminated sitting in a cash game. Or people that are good at tournaments, but suck at cash games playing. In my experience, the better games are usually seen at mid and high limits b/c someone is not going to try to make back a $1000 tourney loss at 3-6. Also, something about the atmosphere of the event makes people want to gamble higher.

Re: Tunica WSOP Circuit Event Schedule of Events
yes. i agree with this assessment.
i might also add that a lot of players just plain suck. and you would be amazed at HOW MUCH they suck. you would THINK that it would attract more skilled players....and it does. but the percentage of totally crappy players that these events can attract exceeds the skilled players coming into town. However, I'm not sure the 10/20 or 20/40 limit games will be THAT much better than usual. They are already typically pretty juicy at the Tunica Horseshoe imo. But don't underestimate the tilt-ish "we'll i'll just get my entry-fee money back on the ring-game tables" factor. At the WPO in January I was standing in the long line for the single-table satellites (my very first time there) and the guy in line with me was yapping non-stop about how he was just going to play in the tournaments when he could...and then just make his 'easy $1k a day in the 10/20 games'. Evidently, he's so good that he has no problem earning 50BB a day (this is sarcasm....he just had no clue what was realistic at a given limit). I played in the single-table satellite with him and his play was just awful. Which brings up another point....if you want to try the fast-ish structure of the single-table satellites then I recommend going for it. I played a bunch of these at the WSOP in Vegas and the quality of competition was just terrible. Every $100 single-table sat pretty much played like a $10 SNG on Party. The $225 single-table sat's played like a $20 or $30 SNG on party. The fast structure leads to some variance of course....but the competition is absolutely crushable. Every major event that I have partially attended (WPO in January, PPM IV in March, WSOP in Vegas in July) has been like a convention of the world's stupidest poker players all converging to brag about how great they are. We're talking sometimes finding a 10/20 or 20/40 table that will get capped PF by some crazy drunks with 22 and A8. Again, that actually doesn't make it THAT much different than how the Horseshoe 10/20 and 20/40 games will occasionally play. your mileage may vary. |
