I JUST GOT BACK FROM MY FIRST VP TOURNAMENT AT THE FLAMINGO 2:00AM. HAD A GREAT TIME TOURNAMENT WAS VERY WELL RUN EXCEPT FOR REG. (TOOK ABOUT 15 MINUTES) IN A NUTSHELL HERE IS SOME INFO ON THE TOURNAMENT.

940 ENTRANTS ORIGINAL # WAS 500
TOP PRIZE $15,000. PAID DOWN 350 SPOTS ORIGINAL WAS $10,000. AND PAID DOWN 250 SPOTS I FINISHED 107 WITH A SCORE OF 2325.

GAME: DDB ONE HAND.
TIME:  TEN MINUTES ( PLAY AS MANY HANDS AS POSSIBLE)
SESSIONS: EACH PLAYER WAS ASSIGNED A TIME AND A MACHINE SPOT FOE THE 2 SESSIONS. MY TIME WAS 1:20 BOTH DAYS. BOTH DAYS STARTED RIGHT ON TIME.
THE FIRST DAY MY SCORE WAS 1005 190TH PLACE AFTER DAY ONE NO QUADS. DAY 2 MY SCORE WAS 1320 2 SMALL QUADS.
TOP SCORE WAS 7090 AND THE 10TH PLACE WAS 5315.
AFTER THAT MOST SCORES IN THE TOP 200 WERE VERY CLOSE WITHIN 100 POINTS. I TIMED A COUPLE PEOPLE AND I WOULD SAY ON AVERAGE THERE WERE 15-20 HANDS PLAYED PER MINUTE SO IN A 10 MINUTE SESSION YOU WOULD EXPECT TO HAVE PLAYED AROUND 150-200 HANDS.
UNLESS I HAD A PAT HAND ON THE DEAL I WOULD ALWAYS GO FOR THE ROYAL ( GOT 4 TWO TIMES)
 
ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TRY AND ANSWER.

Sounds like you had fun and played it right to win. Just didn't get the cards. What did 107th place earn you?

$50.00 I THINK 51-350 WERE MOSTLY $50.00 WITH A FEW $1,000. THROWN IN FOR THE 100TH, 200TH AND 300TH HAND. EACH PLAYER ALSO RECEIVED A FLAMING SWEATSHIRT AND A $50. GIFT CARD. I WAS MOST IMPRESSED WITH HOW WELL THINGS WENT OTHER THAN REG. WHISH STILL WAST THAT BAD. THE HAVE A SECTION ROPED OFF WITH 40 MACHINES AND ROOM FOR PEOPLE TO STAND AND WATCH.

Thanks for the trip report and sounds like a fun time for you! I was in a similar two day tournament at Paris a couple years ago. Although I won nothing, it was a fun experience for me. I did not know about the tournament or that my husband had signed me up for it until after we landed in Vegas - that was so sweet of him! Anything else profitable about your trip? Any hot spots for VP? Any sign the crowds are down because of the economy?

MARIE:
I HAD MANY UPS AND A LOT MORE DOWNS THIS TRIP. MY WIFE WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT THIS TRIP SO I WENT ALONE (NOT GOOD) WITH MY WIFE ALONG WE WILL ALWAYS SEE A SHOW OR TWO AND DO MORE THINGS OTHER THAN GAMBLING WITHOUT HER IT LEFT ME WAY TO MUCH TIME TO PLAY. I KNOW THIS ISNT TRUE BUT THIS TRIP SEEMED LIKE I HAD MANY MANY TRIPS DEALT AND COULD NOT CATCH THAT 4TH ONE. ON THE OTHER HAND IT SEEMED LIKE I GOT QUADS MORE TIMES THAN USUAL HOLIDING ONLY 2.(GO FIGURE) AS FAR AS THE CROWDS ON SUNDAY YOU COULD HARDLY WALK DOWN THE STREET IT WAS SO CROWDED. ALL OF THE CASINOS I WAS IN ALL SEEMED TO BE BUSY. THEY HAD THE NASCAR RACE A FEW WEEKS AGO AND I WAS TOLD BY THE CAB DRIVERS THEY HAD SOME OF THEIR BEST DAYS DURING THE RACE. ALSO, THERE IS ALOT GOING ON WITH MARCH MADNESS SOON. AS FAR AS PAY TABLES THE BEST I FOUND WERE AT BALLYS AND FLAMINGO 96 FOR 10 PLAY TRPDLE, I WALKED OVER TO THE PALMS AND THE BEST I SOULD FIND THEIR WAS 95.
ALL SAID I HAD A GREAT TIME AND LOOKING TO PLAN THE NEXT TRIP.
