2007 USPC

[shaniac]

It will still be a good tournament, but I think I'll play Aruba instead.

As I said before ,its a disappointment that ESPN has dropped the USPC from it schedule,as the TV coverage from Day 1 through Day 5's final table is pretty awesome.

But besides that the ,USPC structure is pound for pound the BEST around,as there is not even a remote chance of a WPT type ,and most of this years WSOP events type shovefests occurring as early as they usually do!

It does seem the recent WPT changes made,has slowed down the action late so there is still some decent poker able to be played from what I heard.

Is that true?

It does look good,and obv. looking foward to seeing you at the Borgata in Sept.also

Is UB the only sponser of Sat's for this the Main Event,and what does the package include as far as travel,where you stay,spending CASH,etc?

Have you gone in the past,and what was your opininion of the whole trip??

I don't know all about the UB package. It's a 5K buyin and rooms at the Radisson (where they hold the event) were $195/night for the tournament when I booked.

I remember Aruba being humid and mellow, much different from Atlantis. They have waterskiing on the beach, so I liked it, but I was stuck at a crappier hotel down the road from the Radisson, so I think this year will be better. I think the food was standard mediocre island food, but we had at least one decent meal at a Brazilian place. I didn't play them, but supposedly the highstakes NL games were filled with whales.

Some sats are 8k with 3k towards expenses

UB and AbsolutePoker both run sats to Aruba now that UB and AP are owned by the same company (Blast Off) in Malta.

This is a real shame, the USPC was one of the best televised tournaments left, with lots of play, good structure, multi-day coverage, you actually got to see some poker. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

The FullTiltPoker.net televised event in Germany (DSF) is scheduled for October 8-9, in between UB/AbsolutePoker's Aruba event on October 1-6 and WPT Barcelona on October 11-16 (FullTilt Germany overlaps with the PokerStars EPT event in Baden, Austria event).

Shaniac, we will be happy to have you, remember it is 6 handed when you get to 36 players which creates a great final table structure.
