I'm going to the Borgata in a couple of weeks, and was looking at the tourneys. Borgata offers STTs every day. Here's the structure...
1st - $25 - $50 2nd - $50 - $100 3rd - $75 - $150 4th $25 $100 - $200 5th $50 $200 - $400 6th $75 $300 - $600 7th $100 $500 - $1000 8th $200 $800 - $1600 9th $300 $1000 - $2000 10th $500 $1500 - $3000 11th $1000 $2000 - $4000 12th $1000 $3000 - $6000 13th $2000 $5000 - $10,000 General Rules 1. Players will start with $2000 in tournament chips. 2. Buy-in time will be 10:00 am until 10:00 pm. 3. Each level will last 15 minutes. 4. 1st place finisher will receive $500 in cash, 2nd place finisher will receive $100 in cash. 5. Management reserves the right to change or cancel tournaments. 6. Tournament Director or Floor Person decisions are final. |

the borgata STTs are pretty good.
or at least, you wont find better live ones in atlantic city, for whatever thats worth. the structure escalates, IMO, a bit faster than a party SNG. the competition is ridiculously soft and you should be able to do fairly well with a decent understanding of "pushbotting" (i'm getting really burnt out on that term, but whatever). |

[/ QUOTE ] Thank you. I was thinking I was going to play because the competition was roughly the same as a party 6, 11, or 22. However, it seems fast. My only problem is that iot pays the top two. I like to play for top 3 and then go nuts. |

if nothing else, they are fun, and fairly cheap, and i'm pretty sure i have a bigger edge in them than any ring games. but its definitely a fast structure. you just arent going to find casino stts that dont have fast structures.

the starting stacks are too high IMO - give the weekend gambler a chance. But I'm sure they are easy.

Agree on the casino point. Casinos want quick tourneys to suck players in, then hope they wander over to BJ, Roulette, etc.
