Casino Rama Fall Classic 2007
The annual Casino Rama Fall Classic is on December 3. See http://www.casinorama.com/pdfs/0860_001.pdf & http://www.casinorama.com/games_tournaments.aspx.
I wish I could post positive things about this $1,000+$100 event which I enthusiastically played in last year, but unfortunately, I can't. The prize pool last year was over $500,000, but it is a maximum $132,000 this year. Rama has not bothered to register this as a Canadian Poker Tour event for free.
It had a Skill Level of 5 and Patience Factor of 9.6 last year, but the new blind schedule has a S.L. of only 4 and P.F. of 7.3.
At blind level 5, the cost per round almost triples! To compare, the $540 and $1,100 tournaments at Casino Brantford have the highest possible S.L. of 6. Great Blue Heron Casino's rebuy tournament next month will cost you only $540 to have the same S.L. of 4. I know of several $30-$60 club tournaments that offers more poker play than this $1,100 tournament.
One thing hasn't changed from last year - the $160 satellites still have the lowest possible Skill Level of 0. :-[ Needless to say, I have no plans to play at Casino Rama.

Regardless, good luck and hopefully we can meet up before or after for a victory beverage. Winner buys.
(we've played at Acid Joe's tournies and maybe RC1&2)
But your a luck box anyways. GL Kevin.
