I'm going to be in Tunica on Monday March 13, Tuesday March 14, and Wednesday until the afternoon on march 15

Can someone please get me the blinds and structure and starting chips/rebuy details of the:

Monday 1pm $60+20 tourney at the Grand (why is the rake so high?)

Monday 7pm tourney at the horseshoe $65 buy in with $40 rebuys

Tuesday 5:30 pm tourney at the gold strike called super rebuy $90 + 50

Tuesday $100+30 with $100 rebuy at the grand

(and which of these tuesday tourneys is better?)

Wednesday 11am gold strike early bird tourney

All these were found at msgaming.net

[/ QUOTE ] Starting chips are 800, 5-15 blinds, 30 minute levels. You can re-buy anytime you have 800 or less and if you go to the felt you can double re-buy for 1600 chips. After the first 3 levels, 1 1/2 hours, you can single or double add-on regardless of chip count. The tourney has a $2000 guarantee first place but its up in the $4000 or higher most of the time. Expect 70-100 players. It's the best in town IMO. The other 2 are craps shoots with low starting chips, high blinds, and 15 minute levels with slow dealers. The Gold Strike re-buy is 2000 chips, or 4000 with the re-buy. Blinds start at 25-50 and go up quick. 25-50, 50-100, 100-200, 200-400, ect. Do NOT play without the re-buy. I personally don't play because of the structure. The Grand is the same way. Bad, bad, bad, structure.

Because people line up to pay it, I imagine.

Right.

Supply and demand.

People will actually pay 60+20 to enter a tourney.

And if you were to tell these players that you think it's a rip-off because of the rake and that 60+10 would be more reasonable they would think of you as a total 'nit' and say "dude...it's only $10. It's not a big difference?"

I played a 175+25 event there at the WSOP-circuit and had to convince myself to do it just to get some live tourney experience in (I'm spoiled by the low rake of online-poker and know that I'm a bit of a nit on such things).
