Best Bay Area Tournaments (CA)

[ZManODS]

Anyone know of any good tournaments in or around the San Francisco Bay Area?

Seems like all the tournaments i know of have 15 min blind levels (or less!) and the blind amounts jump up quick too. It quickly develops to an all-in or fold decision within the first hour or so.

Any tournaments with high levels and a decent amount of starting chips, something like they have at the Taj in AC (http://www.trumptaj.com/index.cfm/no...n/content.page)

You exagerate a little and are comparing to a one time tournament. The Taj's daily tournaments at daily tournament have blind structure that isn't to different than a Monday/Friday Bay101 tournament in terms of speed of escalation (more chips and 20 minute levels at Taj, but antes which makes blinds faster) and the weekend rebuy Bay101 tournaments are definitely slower escalation than that.

How are the weekend rebuy tourneys? How many rebuys per person usually?

I prefer shootouts but ill try anything
