FWIW, I did suggest to them that they consider in September having some sort of promotion where you could:

1) Get early seats into the HPT ME
2) Since some here are already squaking that $340 is too much for a tournament, I suggested perhaps they run a promotion to award seats into the Qualifying satallites.

Hopefully they'll do something like this a few times in September...

* $55+5 buy-in (run just like their typical $60 tourney)
* 80 players max
* Top 8 get their buy-in to the qualifier plus $100

FWIW, I submitted the list of tournaments to the Poker Tournament Formula website mentioned earlier in this thread. I couldn't properly figure out the Patience Factor for the CCS Sunday tourney, so I omitted it. Nonetheless, the Gilpin 300 tourney is probably the absolute best tourney up in Black Hawk right now.

www.gilpinpoker.com The vig might be a little higher, but they are willing to go out and get the best floorstaff around.

LOL. The dealers are fine, but the clowns who sit at the desk are the most unresponsive,unknowing folks I've encountered in a poker room. The janitorial staff is more helpful.





On a positive note, I was at the Gates today. Dealer confirmed the gaming commission has signed off on the hpt.


The rub is that if you qualify more than once for the me, the casino doesn't want you selling it on property. Transferring to a friend is one thing, but you can likely expect gaming to be all over the Gates during the hpt.

So, they said it was okay to transfer the seats to someone else?

Hopefully some will be from users here at two plus two who will advertise their seats for sale.

[Dog Boy]

Yes, you can transfer the seat. But you need be careful about advertising or selling it. Seems there are legal issues in Colorado with selling tournament seats over a certain dollar amount.

I've sent a request to the director of The Heartland Poker Tour to have you quit spamming our site. They really should purchase advertising. You're also being banned peramently. MM

Please post a list of all your advertisers so we know whom we can and can't talk about...

I went up to Black Hawk yesterday, and stopped in at the Golden Gates Casino poker room.

I was very surprised they (the card room) had little on this upcoming event, and their (the Golden Gates Casino cardroom) website still doesn't have a peep on this, nor did they send anything out in their Gates Casino Mailers this month.

I wonder how they (the card room) plan on promoting this event, has anyone heard?

I tried to ask them in the card room, but was very rudely treated as the guy I was trying to talk to, turned away from me in mid conversation, and just ignored me.

That is, until another patron who saw this, commented that they just didn't care, and I agreed with him, and told him what I'd seen up until then, how the card room was unprepared when the news first broke, and so on.

The card room employee then turned around and snapped at me, you shouldn't be disrespecting my card room.

I told him at least I got his attention, now didn't I? He had no comeback for that.

So, my question remains, has anyone heard if the Golden Gates Card room plans on promoting this event to the Denver area?

Also, are there any two plus two'ers who plan on playing in this event?

[CincyLady]

Well, I wonder if someone from the Golden Gates reads this (forum), and are now starting to promote the event, because I just now got a flyer) in my e-mail, though they still don't have the flyer on their main website, nor on their poker room website.

Maybe the room management is taking note and is finally spending some money to promote this outside of Blackhawk (aka Denver??).

Edit: If you'd like a copy of the flyer, PM me, because after thinking about it, I don't want to get in trouble for posting a copy of the actual flyer here.

If you could send me the flyer in a PM that would be great. Don't think I'll be playing, in major bank roll rebuilding right now. Have a hard time asking the pregnant wife for poker money. Doesn't matter that I paid for our patio this year and made house payments, still one of those pride things I think.

[CincyLady]

Heh heh ... Smart man! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Never mess with a Pregnant woman! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I just sent you a PM with the flyer. If you play poker anyway, they are giving out entries for free seats to the qualifyer during the month of September.

[pseudoswede]

I'm thinking about playing. Unfortunately, as luck would have it, I started graduate school this semester--only one class--and I have a mid-term exam on October 15. Beat.

I may go up one night to try out a few SnG's and sell my seat if I win.
