Hey Guys,
I will be TD of this event. I hope to see many of you there. we expect 500-800 player fields for the prelims, and around 300+ for the main event ( depending on participation in the WSOP Europe event.) You should come and check it out, as the Beau Rivage is one of the best properties I have ever seen. The tournament will be run the same way they always are when I'm there, so if you know me, you know what you get.

I hope to see you there,
Johnny Grooms

Nahhh...not a donkey. We're all ignorant, just about different things. I was ignorant about <3 until I learned it last week, then I was ignorant about one less thing. Many more things to learn though. lol

BTW, what is the "juice" on these events? Please unignortise me about one more thing.

Edit: If "juice" has already been posted, I apologize in advance for my stupidity and/or laziness. Quite a different matter than my ignorance on so many matters. lol

I'm going...

Is the WPT using its "old" structure for the final table or they allowing the standard Bellagio-type structure to play out the whole way, as they did for the Bellagio Cup III?

[JohnnyGroomsTD]

$300 + 40 ,
$500 + 50

$500 + $40 on the Megas
$1000 + $60 on the megas

I am still of the opinion that the Beau has the best cocktail waitress of any casino in the world, you will have to see for your self.

Aren't the structures for most WPT prelim events pretty consistently the same?

40 minute levels with shortish stacks or 60 minute levels with shortish stacks.
Is this really going to effect your decision on whether or not to attend?

I can safely say it doesn't really make a difference to me.
If I have the time to make it then I'll make it.
And whatever tourney/s I feel I can afford to play at the time I'll give it a shot. Fast structure...meh. No biggie.

TYPICAL STEPFORD POKER PLAYER;WILL PLAY REGARDLESS OF STRUCTURE OR ANY OTHER ASPECT THAT MAY AFFECT THE TOURNEY (JUICE RAKE ETC) NO WONDER NOTHING EVER GETS BETTER.

Calm down doublejoker. I think Bob is a twelve-tabling hud-bot. Therefore, he is likely not only rich but also able to adapt to any tournament conditions.

Johnny Grooms/WPT is NOT Maria/CEO.

The days of individual poker players having to protect themselves at all times are long gone. We have pooled our resources and united under the PPA. I just got an email from D'Amato requesting $5. Everything will be fine now. I guess the PPA's PARTNERSHIP with CEO PT didn't pay much. The PPA is young and will get better at their motherly duties of protecting all of the players' rights afforded under the Constitution of these United States.

The juice, rake, tips, structure, room rate, travel etc. will be insignificant when you make the TV final table. You'll be rich beyond your wildest dreams from prize money, sponsorships, commercials, etc.

Sounds like it could be positive ev to me.

Good luck,

GB
