ok so, foxwoods has $45 tourneys every monday and tuesday at 8AM. also some other days. all through august and september. does anyone know anything about these? payouts, usual number of people that play. etc. i know its a long shot. but i'm curious. i'm definately going to go check it out asap.

The Taj in Atlantic City has a tournament every Friday with a similar buyin. It's a 50+15, 5000 Tournament Chips, freezeout. How many places pay depends on the numnber of entrants, but usually its the final table with less than 100 players and the last two tables with 100-200 players.

First prize is about 40% of the prize pool. In a tournament that I played that had 157 entrants, everyone who made the money won about $110.

The blinds were very aggressive. They started at 25/50, and they double every 20 minutes. Starting with the third level, the antes kicked in. It took less than 4 hours to get to the final table.

I'm guessing that the Foxwoods tournament is similar. The casinos like to offer these tournaments, but they also want their tables back in play for ring games.

The blind structure and payout structure for the Taj tournament is posted on its website (or at least it was at some point). If you haven't done so already, you might check to see if Foxwoods posts their information on the Internet as well.

Good luck!

Its actually every morning at 8 am they usuall pay out the top 28 or so usually about 100-120 people Top prize is about 2500 and 28 place is about 87.50. The level of play is horrible, and it is basically online poker, but live. That might not make sense, but thats the best way to describe it.

top paid for that amount of people makes absolutely no sense.

I always thought they got $200 people for these?

I find your response in this thread shallow, and pedantic...

I've only played it 4 times so I could be wrong and its been a while, the best thing to do is grab a pamphlet at the poker info desk at the woods. Its gives you a decent payout structure for a set number of people. When I played in these they were just starting to offer them daily.

also they aren't every morning anymore. they are 3-4 days a week. my guess was 150 or so people. top 10 percent pay. that seems about right. i'm going to head down soon and check it out. possibly tomorrow. i have the day off.

can you just walk up and play? Or do you have to register in advance? I'd love to go tackle one of these games since i am on Long Island.

registration starts at 6:30 am I believe and tourney starts at 8:00 am

didnt know people only cost $200 steve....
