Has anyone played the daily tournaments at Jackson Rancheria, and if so do you know what the blind structure/time levels are? Do they vary for different buyins?

I have never played one, but I am planning on playing the one this Sunday, unless I get there and the structure is just horrible. Are you gonnna be there too?

I have played a $60 SnG there, and it was 1000 starting chips with somewhere between 8-12 mins. Starting level was 25-25 and then it went to 25-50, thats all I remember. I am assuming that in the Sunday MTT ($100+20 buy-in) will be at least slightly better structure tho.

Ugh, I had quite an experience. I got there saturday and my plan was to play 1-2 all day saturday and then play the sunday tourney. so i play until 2 in the morning, cashed out 565 on my 100 investment (felt quite nice) and go looking for a room to stay in. then I find out there is a high school reunion at the casino, as well as a bunch of other events going on in the town including a wine tasting thing and a concert so there is NO ROOMS AVALIABLE in the whole damn town and I end up driving home at 3 in the morning and getting home at 6 and just crashing.

How did you do though? My guess is fairly soft competition so I was dissapointed I didn't get to play. I will be there this weekend again, playing all day saturday and at least half of sunday. So if you are there it'd be cool to meet. I will also be there a couple more times between now and and the end of September, let me know if you want me to PM you when I go.

p.s. what was the strucure?

yeah, competition was very soft. you start w/ 5k chips and 50/100 blinds, they basically double every 20 minutes. 36 people started, tourney went from 10 am to about 2 pm.
i finished second for 900, was disappointed as i took some harsh beats heads up. lost jj to a7 pf all in and went out w/ AJ v Q8. but it was fun and not a bad result.
i might have played with you on sat, i played from like 10-1 or so, made a few hundred. u play at the table with the two asian kids who had been playing for like 30-40 hours straight? lol

nice, the tourney sounds +EV and I'll def be there this coming sunday and probably the next one too. I played def at the same time as you but probably not the same table. Imagine you are walking into the poker room. I was on the second one on the right, I think you were on the first?
