Winstar

[tom441lbk]

Does anyone know anything about the 1k Winstar tourney? I think it was in August last year....Thanks

I played it. I honestly dont rem the amount of starting chips. I think it was 4K with 30 min levels, very abrupt increases, they miss a lot of levels. overall IMO there are so many other BETTER tournys to play.

Oklahoma, one hour north of dallas. One of the only options for close poker where I'm from(west texas). The tourney has 3 day ones, 23,24,25 of aug, thur/fri/sat, and day 2(final day) on sunday. $1100 buyin, usually cash game action is heightened during this time, last year i think raymer was there and maybe some other pros

I heard that too. Also, I heard that he was going to be there again this year. But you know how unreliable these internet posts can be.

I will be playing in it this year on the Friday start date. I talked to the floor there and they said the blind structure is much improved from last year and is actually pretty good. It's 5,000 starting chips with blinds starting at 25-50 increasing(but not always doubling) every 40 minutes. Should be a fun tourney and if it fills up with the 1000 player max, then first should be around 250k I was told. See you there!

You'll love the new poker room Greg, it is a vast improvement over the old room, if you haven't already paid the indians a visit in the last coupla months.

Greg, they never said anything about you coming, but I would absolutely DIE to play 4/8 mixed with you. Puhleez? I figure only you could get it to happen.

Edit: Although I guess 5/10 might be better, they seem to prefer it for split pot games like the O8 we've had going to last few Saturdays.
