Visiting Biloxi, need help...
 

I am going to Biloxi next weekend. I have been doing some research and have found two tourneys i am interested in. I wanted to get some opinions on which one I should play. I am getting into Biloxi around noonish(i am riding in on a bus with a company retreat). The tourneys at the Beau Rivage starts at noon as well as IP's tourney, so I ruled these out. I found a tourney at Boomtown which starts at 2pm ($65 freezout,no rebuys,no add-ons). I also found one at Isle of Capri that starts at 3pm which is $60 tourney that includes a $20 bounty in the buyin but has rebuys($20) and addons($25). Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks in advance for the help.

I'll tell you from playing at the old Grand in Gulfport, you don't want to screw around with any tourney that has bounteys and rebuys. Nothing sucks like knocking someone out of a tourney and waiting for them to decide if they are going to rebuy or not so you know if you get your bounty on them.

Wouldn't just assume that the player you busted will almost certainly re-buy? Then be pleasantly surprised if you get paid the bounty?

I can't speak to the tourneys, but neither room is any great shakes from what I understand. Whatever you choose, play fast, win or bust out early, then head to the Beau.

Lotsa action in biloxi. I goabout every 3 months. The Beau tourney is easy to make money and the isle is just one big donk fest. The cash games at the beau are peeps with big money and dont mind gettin it in. I suggest playing cash games at the ilse and tourneys at the Beau

Skip the tourneys and play the live action at the Beau. They'll treat you right there.

Please post a trip report. I'm curious to see how things are coming along after the hurricane. I heard that they are building up rapidly.

Re: Visiting Biloxi, need help...
 

things are coming along fine in Biloxi. Casinos are just fine.
My Dad just came back from yet another 3-card-poker trip to the IP and Beau.

Re: Visiting Biloxi, need help...
 

if you goto the beaus website you will see a monthly planer of the tournies they have. some are quite good.

by any chance does your dad play poker at JCKC in florida?

Re: Visiting Biloxi, need help...
 

my dad does not play holdem or other regular poker period.
All he plays is 3-card-poker and maybe video-poker.

I'm gonna be at the Beau on vacation from Thanksgiving day til Saturday, December 1. I'll be the ugly early 30's guy with the long blond hair and the black hoodie. Everybody say hello if you see me.

If you're going to be around past monday the 26th, the WSOP Circuit Events are going to be at Harrah's New Orleans, and it's only an hour and 15 minute drive from the Beau.

Re: Visiting Biloxi, need help...
 

I agree with Chipr777. The two tournaments you have to choose from are not anything wonderful. I assume your time is limited, so spend it playing somewhere worthwhile instead. The Beau Rivage is the nicest, but if you have a chance, check out IP also.

If I'm not mistaken boomtown is one of the only smoking cardrooms left.
Just FYI.
I rather skip a tourney than have some guy blowing smoke beside me.
One of the things I really hated before the poker boom....smoking in the card room.

Re: Visiting Biloxi, need help...
 

I would skip Boomtown. Its a small smoke toxic room
