    people who come down for the festivals usually stay in the Gresham Metroploe which is right next to the casino.

    2/5 is usually the biggest holdem game but the omaha games get very big.

    Managed to get Saturday off and am thinking of heading down for the 500 Yamaha and Hold'em tourneys on the Saturday and Sunday (to provide an overlay obviously). Could the Macau just assure me that the structures will not be rolled back at the last minute?

    They are worth travelling for at the minute - but I would be annoyed if they were rolled back to a 30 min clock or whatever. Thanks in advance for your reply.

    Lloyd I'd say any there will definitely be no rollback on advertised blinds.


    Numbers will be very good for the ME if tonight's super-sat is any thing to go by 130 runners generating 17 tickets ME will be 150+ runners.

    I drove down from Waterford for tonight's game arrived 20 mins late but people were still registering. A new table was opening and I was allocated seat seven the only other seat occupied was seat one. The dealer dealt the first hand, eight dead ones and AK to me. I raise with AK and get a call and a A75 rainbow flop. I raise get re-raised and I push AQ calls and hits a Q on the river. So one hand heads up after a two hour drive and it's back to the car:)
