    I am planning on playing in a wsop circuit event in Tahoe. The event I think I want to try is a 3 day $345 event with a day 2a re-entry.

    I am looking for any input on anything from what to expect, structure, how the soft/large/small the fields are, etc to how late they play especially on day 3. If im lucky enough to go deep, I will have to work Monday unless there is some sort of aocalyptic event and will have to drive home Sunday night.

    Has anyone ever played in one of these?

    Tx.

    Played in a 350 in Hammond. Structure is pretty good. Players are mixed bag. I kinda had a shitty draw. As far as I could tell the three best players were to my left, ranging from decent to very good. All the players to my right were horrible and limp called for the first two hours. I did well iso'ing them but then the good players obv figured out what I was doing and started 3 betting me a ton. So I had to adjust and tighten up and did four bet fold once.

    Wish I woulda just saved my chips because that tbl broke and the table I got moved to was HORRIBLE. I mean bad like I've never seen. There was one decent/good player on my right who had a massive stack but even one else was like lol bad. But by that point I was too short stacked to get involved much and when I did I was shoving.

    Anyway, I'm just sayin i think you will find a big mix of skill levels, skewing toward bad.

    I've played in event similar to this one when WSOP was at Choctaw. The structure is very good, the players will be ranging from fish to professional.

    fwiw Hammond definately has the toughest fields out of any of them I've been to, unless I was just super unlucky there with draws and super lucky everywhere else.

    Agree, I had some of the toughest tables I have ever played in the $560 6-max event in Hammond.
