Yea, a few of them are. Benefield was a pro at one time, but he decided to go back to school.

Looks like 25Nl thru 200NL tables on Bovada are jacked up. No new tables being created. Been like that for hours. They'd sure as shit have this problem fixed in minutes if the fukkin blackjack tables were down.

... and ya know what, doggy? If I only knew McCain had that in him before the election, I prolly woulda voted for him.

I voted for Gary Johnson last year... for real.

The Hammer with gorgeous hair.

He probably uses the expensive Pert Plus products.

Smart money was on Obama, but smart voters were on Johnson so money would continue to have meaning

On a poker note, makes me sad how the PPA and the like will talk up any politician in office who looks like he/she might support poker, instead of unilaterally siding and supporting the 3rd parties who believe poker isn't a criminal activity

A survivor tournament means there's an automatic even-money chop of the prize pool as soon as the bubble bursts. So for the Taj tournament instead of the top 10% of the field making the money and then playing down to a winner, everyone in the top 10% goes home with $400.

I hadn't heard of survivor tournaments prior to this summer, but I think it's a good innovation. In most live tournies everyone is so shortstacked by the end that it's just a crapshoot. Also, chopping it early shaves a lot of time off the tournament, which is good for both players and the house.

Thank Ian-
So if Im reading that correctly I a would be paying 50 entry for only a shot at 400 bucks?

Yea... It's structured like a satellite and is kinda like a double or nothing on steroids. The field needs to be sorry to pay $40 +10 to win $400. If there's 30-50 people signing up, it may be worth playing. Anything bigger, I don't know.
Part of the attraction tourists and people in general have to tournaments is the big scores. I think these die down once the novelty wears off.

Yup. Lower, flatter pay structure + 20% vig. From a profit standpoint it will be difficult to beat that $10 juice for anything substantial, but it's actually a pretty good deal if you just want to play some cards without risking a lot of money. The house profits on B&M poker tournaments are so low that at 10 bucks a head they're probably only barely making a profit themselves.
