Re: Reno Pot of Gold fall \'06
 

I have been pulling a grand a week out on the peppermill 10/20 for the last month. Sat. we got it up to 20/40. The 20/40 is rare but the 10/20 has been going for awhile now. Anyway he doesn't say if he plays NL. I have made a grand at 1/2 at the peppermill and the Eldorado has a bigger game.

I know the peppermill has a 10/20 fri, sat, and sun because I am there. I heard it goes on Monday too.

I can live on 4k a month but maybe you guys can't.

I dont know how this is possible. They rarely have a 10/20 game anymore.

I don't know what to tell you guys. They have been getting one going. Come down and see for yourself. I won't be there this weekend so sit in for me.

mostly locals, but weekends Fri, Sat, and Sunday can be very very good. Especially 10pm and later.

if the Peppermill gets there regular 20/40 game back when they hire a new boss that room will be very busy once again. Hiring a pit boss to run the room destroyed the action, he's gone and now maybe the 50+ players will come back.

Re: Reno Pot of Gold fall \'06
 

They are running satellites when most of the tournaments are $100 and $200 buy-ins? What are they, like $10+5 sit and go's? Or will the satellites only be for the $2k entry?

The PM made three big mistakes recently:

1. They raised the rake.
2. They don't give a crap about what the players want.
3. They raised the rake.

If you raise the rake 33% and lose 30% of your players, you still may be ahead of the game. I'm not sure how much of the recent bad decisions were made by Ira versus higher ups at the PM. In any event, new management would be welcome and perhaps they can try to recapture their mojo.

I'm going to drive up from the Bay Area Saturday to play in the 11:00 AM event. I was thinking about playing in the 6:00 too but it sounds like it will go deep into the night and I have to be back on Sunday. Thanks for posting the structure, I was trying to find out myself. Good luck!

Good luck to you as well.

From what the dealer told me, the nightly events don't last too deep into the night. I think he said they generally get over before midnight, but it could differ with the size of the field. He did say the 11am events usually last 10 hours.
And the 2k event is a two day event.
