No more Trop AC morning tournaments?

[otnemem]

I just looked at the Trop's tourney schedule for August, and all of them are at 6:15 PM. When did they discontinue their tournaments? I haven't checked the schedule in a while...

Has this made the 11am or other morning tournies significantly more crowded?

I often play in the 11AM at Showboat, and have not seen any major increase in players. It is hard to tell at this point though, becuase you would not know if an increase would be from tourists or from regulars.

Since the Tropicana eliminated morning tournaments, there are now only 2 other poker rooms that offer 11AM (or any morning) tournaments. The morning poker tournament turnout was never that great anyhow. Showboat usually gets around 40-60, and Borgata around 100-150 (except for Wednesday $10k guarentee, where many more will register). These numbers are pretty low compared to the numbers for their evening tournaments. Since the buy-ins are similar to what the Tropicana had (except Borgata is single-add on), I would guess that of those Tropicana players that choose to continue playing morning touraments, 50% go to Borgata and 50% to go Showboat. Showboat has a better blind structure, while Borgata has bigger purses from more players, which means more people cash.
