Re: Registration Filling Up?
[ QUOTE ]
Is there a difference between 'registration filling up'/'event selling out' and 'Harrah's trying to funnel players to Day 1A'? Because the latter sounds like what's happening. [/ QUOTE ] There is a big easle type of stand with a sign that said "44xx" players now registered for the Main Event directly before the players club signup booth in the hallway. This was 4 days ago that I saw this. I commented to my friend how they were no where near the 8k projected.

11 handed would suck. but yeah you should not get shut out considering 11 handed means they can go to 8800 alternates means they could probably get it to 9500. im guess a total of 8500 runners now. [/ QUOTE ] stone cold zero chance of this imo. maybe 7,000-ish

Re: Registration Filling Up?
its hard to say because there will be alot of people coming to town on thurs. to register. but its tempered by the online and preregistereds. 8500 is probably too high. my guess is it will be closer to 8000 than 7000 though.

Re: Registration Filling Up?
Why would 11-handed suck? The only down-side I see is that it is crowded at the table. Everything else is a +.

Re: Registration Filling Up?
whats the great advantage of 11 handed?
i guess it wont be a huge issue because the blinds will be low. the major downside is you are more likely to run into a big hand. i suppose the upside is that you may get an extra poor player at your table.

[/ QUOTE ] You're more likely to run into a big hand playing 9-handed than heads-up. Would you prefer to play the entire event heads-up? I wouldn't. I don't mind 11-handed in theory because a) there are more donks at your table on average, and b) playing 11-handed requires some sort of adjustment, that most players will not even realize has to be made.
