Turning stones Empire poker classic

[shaundeeb]

Whose planning on going? I have the sheet with the dates and entry fees but no where does it mention if its 18+ or 21+ anyone know?

Even if I can't plan in the tournys I will be there for most of the week for some easy 2/5 games.

TS is always +18 (since I've gone). What weekend is the classic?

[shaundeeb]

Its actually a week long of tourny's August 13-20 or close to it. The reason I ask about the age was sometime last year they held a tourny some kind of poker championship that had Ivey and D'agastino(sp) headsup and it was broadcasted live on FSN the first live holdem tourny. That had a 21+ entry requirment that is why I am asking the cash games I know will be 18 but its the tourny that I am asking about.

I am under the impression that its 18+, as with any tourt that isn't they usually label it as such. Still call the cardroom to be sure, theyll definately know.

I will be there for the week, i plan on playing in the 300, 500, and 1,000 dollar tourts. Plus a few sats for the 2,000 dollar tourt. If none of that goes well ill be sitting 5-10 limit or 2-5 Nl with you.

I will also be down there this upcoming week.

I'll be down there at least twice next week depends on my mothers health. It's been bad the last few days for the NL game. Keep getting the board to do a role call for the 200max and 300 max games and they haven't gone even though the interest list is 15 or so people.

Maybe, I will be able to convince the table I am at to bump the max buy-in to 200. I just wish they would make no more 100max tables and all 200max. I don't see why the casino doesn't want to more money means bigger pots with the current rake system. With live I don't think they need to worry about players busting quicker as much as online since B&M tend to have more casual players expecting to lose a few buyins and the regulers will have to be extrememly underfunded to go broke in such soft games.

"Empire" is referring to the fact that Turning Stone is in NY (which is nicknamed the Empire State)

[Falker11]

Last yer was 18+.

Dtbog and I will be there from wednesday till saterday. I will play the 200 shootout on wed, and the 300 tourny on thursday. If I make enough in the cash games (200 or 300 nl) I'll try the 500 1k or 2k, we'll see how it goes.

The last day of my summer classes is the 15th, so I'll probably be there the 16th but won't be entering the tourney (Limit) that day. Instead I'll probably be trying to win a couple of lammers for the $1k and $2k events.
