I have to ask, and I'm not having a dig, why did any of you play The Wynn event? I thought it looked horrible.
I couldn't really understand why anyone played it. It seemed to be absolutely bursting with young internet pros from the UK. I'd venture to say it was as hard as any of the $5k events at the series and it didn't have the sprinkiling of mugs that the bracelet attracts. On top of that it lasted so long (is still lasting) that hourly rate wise it must have been a terrible decision. In that time you could have played three of the $500 Bellagio daily ones with re-entry and a bunch of toursits and seniors or gone to the Rio to play supers that are just getting good and run four times a day.
Like I say not having a dig, just wondering. There seemed a lot of really bright people at The Wynn.
TBH i didnt realise the structure was so long, Keys just had it down as one hed like us to play. It was intended to be a 3 day, but due to the numbers they had to extend it
Having said that, really enjoyed it, and has been good prep for the main event. Still a 50bb average for the final day which obv should benefit the better players
The field did have a decent mixture of good online guys, but also lots of rich french type businessmen who were loling about for the first day or 2 so dont think it was soo bad really.
Hopefully i can ship it 2moro and jusify the entry ;-)
Gratz on the result the other day btw
