WINSTAR Red River Roundup Sats & Tournament

[billbam]

Below are the tournament details for the Red River beginning on August 23rd (from the Winstar flyer.) They will be running 1-table Sats as tables fill (when I have been there it is generally one or two on weeknites, I don't go on weekends so not sure about then.) They will also be running Super Sats however the I am not sure what the schedule is at this time.

SATELLITE DETAILS
BUY-in = $100 +$10
10 Players (so no juice on the SAT since the entry into the RRR is $1100 with the $100 juice)

Looks pretty good. The Satellite is going to be a bit of a push-fest, but with no "juice", it's still a good deal I think.

PS: I started a thread to ask people what a standard tip would be if you won one of the no-juice satellites.

Last year they had satellites for this at the Riverwind in Norman (same tribe). I assume they will for this one as well. I was busy last year, so didn't try to sat. in, but I may try this year. I heard this tourney was well-run and had a decent structure.

There is an optional $10 dealer toke at the beginning for an extra 375 in chips.

have no idea why or how they came up with 375

I assume because it's 25% of the starting stack.

thats as good as any I guess.... never seen an add on or optional toke like that. Usually it would be 500 or 1000 or even 1500 extra.

It really shows when the Marketing Dept heads are the ones making all the decisions without requesting or listening to any input from the Poker Room managers.

I haven't really decided whether or not I should waste my time trying to satellite in or just buy-in. I guess I could give it a shot since it's just a $100 but I doubt I will.

When do they run the Super Satellite?
