Aladdin tournaments are terrible

[benkahuna]

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.
