Yep they held up to a lot of reviews went with an open mind to play here in tournaments. Half way through the tournament they changed the percentage of players making day 2 and then if making day 2 only final table gets paid!! Also $2000 guarantee purse advertised not honoured on another tournament but they don’t tell you that at all after signing it in. The pit bosses have there own agenda and don’t give a shrug about the player . I had planned on playing here all winter but not going to happen as a 3 day experience every day they seem to tweek the rules just enough to @#$% you off had I wanted to play in a home game where the house gets to change rules to whatever suites at the time I would play one!!!! Sure they have there little disclaimers but this is bull and if this was anywhere else would not be tolerated and players would leave I recommend going elsewhere especially for tournaments!!!! Run far far away!!!! I will drive 2 hours to play some other place for sure so believe all the bad reviews it’s not just people that whine cuz they lost in a bad beat I’m only here cause I’m playing and ended up being committed to a three day tournament and doing ok . My wife is other tournaments also and is very frustrating for the both of us thanks for your time .
