Re: 2007 Orleans Open Poker Tournament, July 14-29
[ QUOTE ]
i played last night in their tourney...$40 buy in for 1K in chips, (1) Rebuy at $40 for 2K in chips and a $5 dealer bonus for 250
so $85 for 3,250 in chips.
177 players played....they draw more players on friday and saturdays.
competition is average and the blind progression is pretty decent the value. i like it better than the sahara personally.

This is their regular tournament, not the New Orleans Open tournaments, although I agree that as lower buy-in tournaments go this is one of the best values in Vegas. It does become a bit of a crapshoot at the end, but then what doesn't. (I chopped this 5 ways a couple weeks ago - average stack at the time was 7.4bbs.)
The NO Open tournaments are slower structures. I did a comparison of those events using Snyder's patience factor and found that these were much slower structures than the Venetian Deepstacks or WSOP prelim events. I wish I could be in Vegas for some of these.
