Added bankroll (200.00).
Added details (Tournament will be single advance, all tables, all rounds.
Bankroll is $200, with $5 min bet and no max bet. No
button, all play starts with 1st base and goes around, no
betting order except on final hand. 15 hands total each
table. This is at the Quechan Resort (Q-Resort) at the Los
Algodones Exit off of I-8 about 10 miles west of Yuma.
Play starts at 6:00 PM Arizona time. This is 5:00
California time. Register at Q-Resort starting the Monday
before the tournament. This is the first one they have
held at this location, but will be like the ones held
previously at Paradise Casinos. This is the first
tournament they have held in over a year (previously held
at Paradise Casinos). In past entries have varied greatly,
from a low of less than 40 in the summers, to well over 100
in the winter months (record attendence is 148 players).
Difference is the 100,000 snow birds that descend on Yuma
in the winter. They are holding this on a Wednesday, which
is also the day that Seniors get $10 free play on, so they
are targeting the snow birds, and should get a good turn
out. The tournaments at Paradise were not well run; no
button, no order to betting except on final hand, play
always starts from 1st base, final hand as well; tournament
not well policed, some players holding/hiding chips (minor
problem), players trying to change bets, players holding
out and not betting until everyone else has bet, etc. -
dealers not familiar with tournament rules or not enforcing
them, some times dealers hassle about slow play, sometimes
they let a player take forever, even at same table.
Hopefully, they will run tournaments at Q-Resort better,
but, I somehow doubt it.).
