Bellagio Cup III vs. nightly 1080?

[GoldenBears]

Sorry in advance if this is the wrong forum - I didn't know if I should post here, or in B&M or in WSOP...

Has anyone been playing in these? I'm looking for ~500-1500 tournaments from the 17th-19th and I've heard great things about the Venetian Deepstack tournies so I'll be playing in the 540 on the 19th.

Any input on the 1080 nightly tournament at the Bellagio for the 17th/18th? What about the Cup tournies 1500 on the 17th and 2500 on the 18th?

I found info on the cup on cardplayer, but I would like to know more about the 1080 nightly tourney if anyone can help!

Thanks,

Galen

these are small fields of tougher players than you'll get at the rio and it's not even close

So the tournies are pretty tough to crack?

heh, i played the venetian deepstack last month. Since then, i have recognized 3 of the guys who were at my table on tv as kinda borderline tv pro's. I def didnt recognize them the first time around. steve dannenman was at my table too. i dont know if that makes the field soft or hard, but he was there.

I don't care if there are pros etc... I'm not afraid of anyone. My concern isn't good players, it's bad ones [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Will there be soft players in either of the Bellagio tournaments / Venetian?

bellagio nightly 1080 has been getting 50-60 players nightly as far as I know

bellagio are basically idiots for doing this, i'm sure the bellagio higher ups are thrilled about losing a popular nighttime hangout for nothing (fontana bar)

I played the first $1590 Bellagio cup event and didnt find the field that tough. Definately seemed like a bunch of people sattelited in.
