Will Johnny have the nerve to publish the structure if it is bad? If it is good I will be the first to applaud him....

I would like to see the structures so Johnny, if you read this again will you please post them?

[MicroBob]

Aren't the structures for most WPT prelim events pretty consistently the same?

40 minute levels with shortish stacks or 60 minute levels with shortish stacks.
Is this really going to effect your decision on whether or not to attend?

I can safely say it doesn't really make a difference to me.
If I have the time to make it then I'll make it.
And whatever tourney/s I feel I can afford to play at the time I'll give it a shot. Fast structure...meh. No biggie.

[ForRealDD]

It won't affect my decision. I would just like to know/see the structure before I play. Is there something wrong with simply asking to see it ?

TYPICAL STEPFORD POKER PLAYER;WILL PLAY REGARDLESS OF STRUCTURE OR ANY OTHER ASPECT THAT MAY AFFECT THE TOURNEY (JUICE RAKE ETC) NO WONDER NOTHING EVER GETS BETTER.

If it's a horrible structure (which I don't think it will be), then maybe. I'm almost definitely going, just need to book the room, I was just more or less curious as to what it will be.

Thanks Johnny.
Looking forward to it. Living in the Fla panhandle now so may try to make it to a couple of the prelims.

Regarding the special room-rate for tournament players booked through Donna:
Is there some sort of play-requirement that gets tracked? I might only play cash-games or just a couple of the second chance tourneys or something and was wondering if this effects me getting what appears to be a really good rate at the Beau.

I booked my room a few months ago for this and Donna said for the tournament they were not worrying about play requirements. However normally to get the poker room rate i think you need 5 hours of cash play per day.

Also i haven't seen anything on tournament structures. Was there a week and a half ago and they didn't have anything in the poker room on the tourney structures at that time. They had the schedule of tournaments just like the PDF on the BR website.

Oh....and i will be there for all preliminary events....unless the structure stinks then i'll play a couple of them and work the cash games instead.

I had no idea this was happening...but I got lucky in that I had already booked a Labor Day weekend there. I'm staying at Palace which was cheaper than even the motels near the 'casino' end of Beach Road (or whatever it's called). I wanted to stay at BR but it was too much $$ but I'll have to reconsider if I can get a good rate. I'll probably play Event #3. Hope to see/meet some 2+2ers out there.

I'll probably play at least a couple of the satellites provided things go even marginally well at the casinos around here in the ensuing months.
