Went to Aruba for a week on vacation and checked out the MTT events going on down there. All were low buyin rebuy events loaded with people who had no clue what so ever. They either didn't know what they were doing or were incredibly weak/tight. Two huge problems IMO with these turnys. First, I played at the holiday inn casino which was nice, but the poker room staff has no idea. Most dealers barely spoke english and one guy in paticular couldnt read or write! Constant mess up on who won what hand and for how much, had to pay attention to every pot and where the money went. Oh and it was impossible to get drink service. Next problem was with how long it took them to rearrange seating, took forever. This really sucked because this was a super turbo turny with some blind rounds only lasting an orbit! Turned into shovefest real fast. The one plus though is that if you had a ton of money you could dominate this thing buy rebuying as many times at once as u wanted. I had to do a double take when I heard this. You want to start off with 20 rebuys you go right ahead. I don't have the BR for this so it was not an option. Top 4 paid 1st got 50% which was 1700 on that night. Only 50 players in turny I got bounced at FT cutoff on a stop and go play. Only played once since I hated the structure. Got drunk on the casinos tab winning at blackjack rest of time, so all in all good trip. Oh and cash game afterwords for 1/2 and 5/10 NLHE was full of the same morons from the turny for you information.
