Re: Anyone play at blackhawk?
Anyone ever play at Easy Street or Famous Bonanza in Central City? I'm not sure how good this info is, but I've read they each have one table. I may check it out some time just to complete my chip collection.

Re: Anyone play at blackhawk?
I think I might go play the Psycho 50 tonight at The Gilpin. You guys should go pad my prize pool.

Re: Anyone play at blackhawk?
Enjoy playing the lottery. The Friday Night $50 with re-buys is insane. Crazy wackos...I've been told it takes about $300 to be successful in this tourney.
I hate the Gilpin's tourney structures, they become all in fests quite quickly. We should pick a night next weekend where the Colorado 2+2ers can meet at a casino (larger one) and commandeer a full table. |

You're allowed up to 8 rebuys, which sounds ridiculous, but in practice, it really doesn't work out that way. I've never seen anyone take more than 2 rebuys. I've only bought one total the three times I've played and I've made the final table each time. I've heard of a table or two going crazy with re-buys, but none of the ones I've been on have had more than 2 or 3 total rebuys. The best part is the fools who rebuy time after time when the blinds are up to something like 200/400. All they're doing is padding the prize pool, because by that time, you're going to be all-in the first hand you play with your 2000 chips. If you bust out at that point, it's time to just pick up and go home. Rebuying is just blowing another $50. Let's face it. B&M tournaments are all going to be a crapshoot until you get into the bigger buy-ins. This one actually works out relatively well, because there ends up being a lot of chips in play (rebuys and 1000 chip bounties for each person knocked out) and you have a chance to get out ahead of the blinds a little bit. That said, I need to get out to some more of the other rooms' tourneys. I don't have the cash to be playing $200+ tourneys right now, but I'd like to hear your guys' suggestions for what you think is the best structured tournament in town for something more like a $50-$100 buy-in. I think some of the private tournaments are going to be the way to go. I've got to get into some of those. I don't mean to come off as a schill for The Gilpin, because i do like Mountain High and CCS, but I'd actually recommend The Gilpin for any 2p2 get together as well (if we must play in a casino), as I know it would probably not be difficult at all to get them to put up a table for us. I do know, though, that there's another local poker group that meets at CCS. I don't remember when, though, since I have yet to be able to make it to one of the meet-ups. Unfortunately, I won't be able to do it any time in the next week and a half, as I'll be in L.A. Sunday through Friday and then my wife has family in town after that. Although, I will be up there a week from Sunday entertaining my grandmother-in-law. I'm not sure what time, though. |

See you tonight Patrick.
And FYI, the Gilpin will set up a private table at any time. Just ask. |

Re: Anyone play at blackhawk?
I do have one suggestion for our game. I would like to try out a $3/5 structured limit game with $1 and $3 blinds. I think this game would be much better than the spread. I actually play in a 3/5 choice game here in Denver and it works quite well. Any thoughts?
