This is an online blog and for the second post in a row, I'm discussing live action in Vegas. I'll always looking for a trip away from the computer and I'm considering these events. Back to the online action soon enough.
The schedules are out. Last November players flocked to one of two Vegas landmarks for some No Limit Deep Stack action. This go around players will again be divided between the two hotels. Why?
Because in the stack war, Deep Stack (The Venetian's Event) vs. Mega Stack (Caesers) the stacks get deeper and more mega. The Venetian is offering 12,000 chips. The edge this go round goes to Caesers whose stacks are 12,500. Clearly Mega is deeper, but only slightly so, than Deep.
Caesers slightly deeper Mega Stacks will have 16 $225 buy-in events. So you get a bigger stack for a cost affordable price. Generally the Venetians are a higher buy-in: $330 (17 events). In November the Mega Stack drew 90-100 players while the more expensive and slightly fewer chips of the Deep Stack had fields of 250-450.
Most of the game play is No Limit Hold em. Caesars exclusively so. The higher buy-ins range up to their main event at $1070. The Venetian doubles the main event cost at $2,500. The Venetian is also offering a wider variety of games including Omaha 8 or Better, Pot Limit Omaha, and H.O.R.S.E.
For those looking to play the Caesers event runs Feb. 1-26 and the Venetian a slightly shorter event runs Feb. 2-25.
