does anyone have a link to tunica poker tournaments at the horseshoe, gold strike, and grand in august? Thinking about a weekend trip. thanks.

Look into the Sam's club tourney on Saturday's at 11am. It's got an awesome structure and is only $100+30.

See my trip report that I posted, it'll give you some good details esp when BJJIII gets his trip report up and linked. He chopped that tourney for a big win!

landlord - how awesome is the structure and how many players?

100+30 isn't exactly a bargain on the juice. Although it's better than their even less-awesome 35+15's.

But there are 100+25's and 200+30's to be had elsewhere in Tunica.
100+30 isn't exactly as bad as it gets juice-wise but it certainly is enough to turn me off.

The Horseshoe Mon/Tue/Thu night rebuys are 65/40/40.
I think the initial buy-in might be 50+15. But even if it's 40+25 it's not so bad since you can pretty much count on a couple rebuys and an addon each tourney.
So that essentially makes them either a 170+15 or 160+25 on average.

I don't know about the structure at ST but I always found the structure of the tourneys at HS to be pretty good for the money.

Also, I really like the Wednesday night bounty freezeout tourney at HS.
90+15+25.
The last $25 goes into the 'bounty-pool'.
You get $25 cash for each player you knock-out (and I think there's one player chosen at random who has a bigger bounty attached to them).

On the MSGaming site I see that the Grand is running a Thursday 1pm bounty tourney for 80+20+15.

Are these structures listed anywhere online - or just the prices? (I'll read the above guy's TR).I played in a 100+25 tourney at the Gold Strike and the structure seemed way too fast - my M was never in the teens!!

[Landlord79]

There was $3k added to the pool so that was a wash for most of the $30 a head that was charged.

Blinds started at 25/50 and went up every 30 min. The tourney lasted ~7 hrs and was chopped at 5 handed, so there seemed to be plenty of play left when they chopped it up.

128 people ponied up the $130 on Sat and the field was uber weak. Some local internet pros/degens recommended this tourney to us over the $230 HS tourney. First place at ST paid $5,300. I really like ST, the cash games were softer and the tourney was a good one. If they had any decent traffic I could see playing there very often.

The Bounty freeze-out looks nice at the Shoe, I'd like to try it if I'm ever up there during the middle of the week.

[Landlord79]

Oh yeah, you started w/ 4k in chips.

<font color="blue"> when we played in it there were 128 people. this tourney is only for one more week. i think july 28th is the last day </font>

<font color="blue"> the tourney he is talking about they add $3K to the prizepool. They are simply adding more entry fee to compensate for the $3K added </font>
But there are 100+25's and 200+30's to be had elsewhere in Tunica. <font color="blue"> sure there are </font>

<font color="blue">the lack of compentent players and the $3K added makes up for the extra $10 in entry fees </font>

Reviving an old thread that I hit in a search -
Any up-to-date feedback on Tunica tourneys?
I'm going to be there Sat. Nov 3rd which is the 1st weekend of the month, so Gold Strike is running their $335 tourney. My friends don't want to gamble that big so we're considering the Grand's 100+25 at 1pm, then drive over the the Gold Strike. Do we need to get there early (like 11am early?) Is Sam's Town any better? Is everything different everywhere the first weekend of the month or just at GS?
