Post-thanksgiving? I'm also only up for smoke-free places.

Tulalip holds a $90 buy in NL tourney at 11 am on Saturdays. Or at least the Saturdays in November from what I could see. What do y'all say? First place 3 weeks ago when I played was $2300 with ~80 players. I got down to the final 30, but was short stacked the entire tournament.

Fun tournament though.

How early do you need to be there to sign up? What is the structure? Last time I played a tourney there the starting chip stack was ridiculously low.

There were about 20 people that showed up at 10:58 am. They all got in. I was kind of ticked about it, because I know I'm better in fields of 70 people or less.

The blind levels are 20 minutes, for the first 2 hours (if I remember correctly). Starting stack of $5000. Blinds start at 25-50 and double from there. Playing as tight as I did, you will not be blinded out until a little after 3 hours in to the tournament if you don't play a hand (which I don't expect anyone here to do).

In the smaller buy in tournaments I've played there, they had the same round times, but we started with half as many chips ($2500). However, after the first 2 hours in this tournament, I believe the blind levels go to 15 minutes.
