Foxwoods $100 tournies?
 

I was wondering what are the turnouts for the Foxwoods $100 tourneys. Specifically the Thursday 6pm one. On average, how many entrants, what are the payouts, how long does it take? I just moved to the Foxwoods area and I want to play some tournies, with my job the Thursday at 6pm will be my best chance for a while.

The one I played in had 140 people and they played until about 4 pm.

payout in 100$ tournies sucks and is super top heavy. not worth it IMO.

Re: Foxwoods $100 tournies?
 

I think they generally get around 150 entries. It's been a long time, but I think they tend to run four hours or so. Yes, the payouts are top heavy.

These aren't worth entering regularly if your intention is to show a profit. Though playing them occasionaly can make for a relaxing few hours playing against generally terrible opponents.

bad players = good tourney

generally 100+. after 100 entrants they pay top 20 places.

PLLSS don't waste your time with the $100 tournies. Payouts are very bad. I tried one once and found out the top 20 get paid out of I think we had 150 people signed up. I finished 11th, one short of the final table. The payout structure was that 20-11th place get paid the same, which is only 80 bucks ahead. And also I may add that all of my races preflop held up which prolly wouldn't even happen again.

I'm being arbitrary, but you have to finish in the top 3 for it to be really worth your while.

The website says 20 minute levels? So these are basically the equivalent of online turbo games (5 minute blinds). I'm sure the casino likes this fine, but I always figure these for crap shoots online. Crap shoot + bad payout = no thanks.

Meh. 20 minute levels is pretty standard for live small buy-in tournaments.

These are 80+20's, and 3% management fees on top of that. This should be the end of this thread.
