Post-thanksgiving? I'm also only up for smoke-free places. Rob [/ QUOTE ] 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. |

Last time I played a tourney there the starting chip stack was ridiculously low. |

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. |

You would have to pay me way more than 2.3K to play live tournament poker.

Whether ringgame or tourney. Especially since you specified tourneys as your #2 point which makes your #1 point more ringgame specific. So how does that apply to a 2+2 meeting? You'd rather have it online? b |
