Tourney Best Las Vegas Poker Room for a good skillfull tournament with a good structure (1 Viewer)

[Kyle]

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for your comments on the best Vegas Poker Room for cash games.

I wanted to get some tips on the best Vegas Poker Room for Tournaments.

A good skillful tournament with a great blind structure. Not a shove fest at level 4.

Looking for up to $250 for a buy-in.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Kyle

Aria daily's are really good. Tough (IMO) but really good.

^^^^^^This. Good structure, and they usually get over 100 players. Sun-Thursday it's a $125 buy-in, and Friday-Saturday it's a $250 buy-in (I think you get more chips on the weekend,too) Clear your schedule for that day, as the tourneys tend to run 8-10 hours.

Anyone else have any favorites?

Venetian tourneys are good with low juice.

In my frequent tournament experience, the more the buy-in, the greater the skill level. Two things, both rake, account for this.

• Rake, House share - Smaller tournaments cant charge as many dollars of a rake. Sub $100 tournaments will hit you for $30-$40 of your buy-in as rake. $300 tournaments will charge you $50-$60. The casino can afford to run the tournament 50-100% longer, because you paid more. Longer tournaments = more skill.
• Rake, percentage - Excalibur's $40 tournament charges $30 of rake. That's 75% going to the house. Aria's $240 tournament charges $45 - less than 20%. Where is the skilled player playing? 75% -EV or 19% -EV. Actual math skills = more skilled players.

I haven't played, but I've heard good things about the Aria, the Wynn, and the Venetian.
