$30 + 10 Wheeling Daily 10am Tourney

I hadn't seen a report, and the details aren't on the Wheeling website, so I thought I'd drop some facts...

Don't drive out just to enter, but if you're making a day of it, start early and hit their morning tourney. It runs Su-Fri, averages 30 players and serves as a good warm-up to juicy cash games. The tourney was well-run and the pay-outs weren't too flat. The competition was below average to average. I was clearly the best...seriously.

Starting stack is 2,000, blinds start at 25/50 and levels last 20 minutes.

I went on Wednesday..."Senior Day"...and the action in the room afterwards was excellent. Unfortunately, I had to leave just before they started the 2/4 Omaha Hi/Lo.

If you have the chance to play it, drop a line to tell me what you think :)

Not a big fan of the Wheeling tournaments....

They withhold taxes, and will guarantee a prize pool, but switch it at the last minute.

Terribly run for tournaments. Cash game seems juicy enough.... lots of inexperienced players in the $1/$2 on the days I've been. Both of them...

Hmmm....

I've heard that too, but I was impressed with their organization. Seems to me that over time they have improved. I did hear that previously their payouts were too flat and the directors seemed lost. But, our director was very adept and the payouts were much more indicative of a $40 casino tourney (no more than top 10%).

I thought it was fine...

You ARE the best!

I would love to play the Omaha8 game.
