Like so many other poker blog-geeks, I am headed to Vegas in … shoot, I know I\’ve got that flight info somewhere … well anyhow, today. Lots of very important business to take care of … many important meetings … probably some drinking, too. As to actual poker play, there is the WPBT tourney on Saturday, of course. And beyond that, I\’ll be playing in my first ever \”backed\” tournament.
It\’s a straightforward deal between me and my backer … he\’s gonna pay my buy-in, I am going to play, and if I win money, we will split the profits 50/50. Cool. Only thing is now I have to figure out which tourney to play in. Am looking for an event in the $250-$500 range. I hear great things about the blind structure at various Venetian happenings, so I\’ll give them consideration. Basically, I am looking for something competitive with enough players to make for some sweet payouts.
Naturally, the best up-to-date guide on Vegas tourneys is LasVegasVegas … but I\’d like to know more about starting chips, level times, blind structures, etc. So any advice would be greatly appreciated.
