Default Re: Wynn daily tournaments

I played a handful of the Wynn tourneys in its earlier days, back when they regularly got 5 or 6 tables. But yes, exactly as 52s says, they are a shell of their former glory. Caesars and Venetian came along with better structures for less or the same buyin and Wynn didn't kept up. According to that fine bastion of information, allvegaspoker, Wynn has improved the structure from the past by offering 5K starting chips instead of 3K for the $330 buyin, so it isn't quite so far behind Venetian now, but still their $330 tourney has what looks to me to be less play than V's $150 tourney.

Compare Wynn's turnouts Nov 07 to Nov 06.

06: 51, 45, 29, 38, 29, 23, 43, 32, 41, 33, 32, 52, 52, 31, 51.
07: 17, 24, 14, 18, 16, 17, 22, 24, 23, 26, 21, 15

Nothing WRONG with their tourney, mind you, and if you're looking for a small field to run against it's probably a-ok. It was a bit rough playing with 3000 starting chips, but with 5000 I think it'd be ok, and it should run faster than V's if you're looking for something that'll go a couple hours less.
