I was on the 1/2 PLO list, which was 69 players long at 3 p.m. Sat in the 2/5 NLHE and won $1,650, so a pretty good day. I busted the Seniors tournament early, but that turned out to be a good thing because I was one of the first in line for the 10 a.m. They couldn't find me in the system, although I've had a players card for years, so I had to run to the casino to get a new card (the card machine recognized me). The lines to buy in for the tournaments on Saturday went very quickly - as long as you had your ID and players card. Would ideally like to play 5/10 but sounds like it might not run. Might try and come up next Thursday night. We’ve tried for bigger, but people don’t show after signing up. For Holdem, 5/10 will mostly likely be as high as it goes. PLO is considerably bigger (5/5 without event/ multiple 10/25 during event). Only thing I do to prepare is make sure I bring a can of Lysol to spray down some random people when needed. If like the last couple series, they will have multiple entry tourneys, so don’t have to worry about showing up late. Not much of a tourney player, but fairly certain you can buy in a couple days early if you want. When we get the straddle going and game playing big, it’s normally up against a pretty stout lineup (the 5k+ stacks are always pros/semi-pros). Like 5/10 in most places, it’s hit and miss based on randoms showing up.
