Re: Arizona State Poker Championship - Satellites are running
Oh, and you can't get cash, only the tourney entry, which you can resell. Last years tournament was $500 entry and since it's limited to 450 entries supposedly seats were selling at a premium just beforehand. I don't know if it will happen this year due to the doubling of the fee, and the floor warned that they wouldn't tolerate people reselling seats at over face value. This year first prize is a guaranteed $250,000.
The single tables start with 1500 chips, 25/50 so it's only a couple levels before it's push/fold. I won on the fourth try and I made huge mistakes in two of those sats to get knocked out.
People played way too passive once the blinds get big, I was warned several times that "I guarantee I'm calling you next time" if I kept stealing, so I kept stealing and they kept foldin.
