I will be there for at least part. Likely to play in the 2K.

By "play" I mean, double up early and then donk off my stack.

It depends on the night of the week. Usually the better tournament structure means a higher buy in. But some of the structures aren't too crapshooty.

Re: Reno Pot of Gold fall \'06
 

btw...I went and played for a while today at the Grand Sierra and while I was there, I found out the structure for the tourneys.

For the daily $200's starting at 11am. 2000 in starting chips, blinds start at 25-25 and increase every 40 minutes. This structure is pretty good and the dealers there told me these tournaments generally last about 10 hours.

For the nightly $110 you start with 1500 chips, blinds start at 25-25 and increase every 30 minutes. Still not too bad of a structure, and one of the dealers there told me that the fields for the evening tourneys are extremely weak.

They are expecting quite a turnout for these events (they were just setting up about 30 or more extra poker tables outside the poker room.) Should be fun.

pm me if ya wanna meet up.

$25 juice on a $100 buy in is gross.

My gf wants to move out of Vegas at some point and we've talked about Reno. Could a pro make a living in Reno?

I agree, but from what that dealer told me it sounds like those fields are extremely juicy.

IMO as long as you are not to greedy, yes. Between Reno and Tahoe you should be able to find good games. Each area has events or peak times that compliment each other. IF that fails there is always on-line or road trips you can do.

100% dissagreement here on the post above this one. You aren't finding anything higher than 4/8 limit holdem regulary, or 2/5 NL regularly in Reno or Tahoe. 10/20 + is dead up there. You could make a living playing online while living there though.

Photoc is right. The highest regular game (and by regular I mean nightly) is 6/12 with half kill. 10/20+ doesn't get going very often, maybe once or twice a week. During tournament series like the pot of gold you will get higher limits though like 20/40 and possibly above. But medium stakes games are very hard to find in this town.
