Thanks All Aces.Â* Got here last night about 9.Â* Played for about an hour last night and OMG these guys will chase anything.Â* 8 people preflop is not unusual.Â* Rama please come down and see how to run a poker room.Â* Large screens over head showing all limits being spread, where you sit on the list etc.Â* Dealers are fast and efficient.Â* It's just way to easy to get lost here.Â* Day one was profitable.Â*

The only thing I noticed is my reservation was confirmed at the poker rate. Once I got here, even after pleading from the suit in the poker room, I had to pay retail for Sat and Sun and get the poker rate only for the Monday when I play even tho I'll be playing there games while here. The structure is pretty gradual with $3000 starting chips and 30 minute blinds.

25 50, 50 75, 50 100, 75 150, 100 200, 100 200 A25, 150, 300 A50 etc.

Played a super ssatellite into the $5K event. Wow and you guys think other places have bad structures. $500 in starting chips if your at $500 or less you can re buy. 25 50
50, 100, 75/150 100/200/A25, 200/400/A50. I ended up going out in 25th out of 78 after 2 hours. AK suited which I pushed I got called by a Q 8 off by someone who had almost the same chip stack as me. He spiked his 8 to win. The blinds were $300/600/A75 at this point so I pushed my remaining 900 next hand blind (I was UTG) got called by the big blind and my 5 6 off didn't hold up. ON to todays tourney.
