WSOP Circuit Event #6 - O8b - Harrah's, Rincon
I just want to say up front that I did lousy in this tournament and I have a few gripes that I hope are not viewed as excuses. I busted out on the last hand of the 4th round last Tuesday night and was pretty disappointed with the overall experience, but like I said, I'm not making excuses for bad play, just wanna get a few things off my chest.
Format was awful. I paid $200 + $25 and the best they could do for me is $2000TC with 30 min. levels? Everyone I have spoken with, including 2+2ers and other, more experienced players who were there, agree that this is a -EV crap shoot. We may have seen between 12-15 hands per level, and at the end of the 4th level the blinds were headed to $200-$400. I only won 1 hand in the first level and got dead carded through most of the 2nd & 3rd levels only to find good cards in the 4th level with not enough chips to play them. I busted on the last hand of the 4th level when I flopped 2 pair with a low draw and lost to a better 2 pair with a better low.
I just walked away from the experience feeling like Sycuan put on a better tournament at a cheaper price and without the WSOP Brand Name.
anyway...
-$225 on the session puts me at +$195
more later.
