It's a cute concept chipr7.
Just kind of weird when I first heard about it.

I believe someone told me that it's mid-Jan or so and is $1k buy-in.
Correct?

[/ QUOTE ] It's $1000 + $80 and hosted by Johnny Hale. The Seniors and the "Young Guns" play down to a final table EACH on Janurary 18th. Both final tables will come back on Jan 19th and 5 Seniors and 5 Young Guns with be seated at the final 2 tables. In addition to the prize pool there will be a points system where 20th place gets one point and 1st is 20 points. The "team" with the most points wins $5000 each. It's gonna be fun!

Probably. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] If not Bally's, certainly on the Sheraton buffet.

Seriously, as Chip probably can attest to, the month of January in Tunica is slammed. If you plan on playing either tournament in town, be sure to bring plenty of cash for the side games. In my experience, these folks come to GAMBLE & the games can get pretty wild. If you don't have room reservations already, you may be screwed because they go fast.

Yes, definitely book your rooms as soon as you can.

Waiting until the last-minute or until you get there is definitely too late.

Trying to get your room now might even be kind of difficult.

booked the week b4 last year, and the room rate was reasonable. and yes the cash games were pretty wild. first day last year i played 2/5nl for about 12 hours, and there was a lot of action. i remember looking around my table about halfway through my time and seeing about 16k on the table.
