    yeah I'll probably be going on Feb. 16-17 with my friend. Do you know if the hotel rooms are going to be all booked? I was there during the wsop circuit and they were booked the whole week.

    I'll be there this weekend playing in Events #3 and #5 and the sponsored event on Sunday. I was able to get a room at Caesars for Sunday and Monday nights, but had to get a room in Clarksville for Saturday night as they were booked full.

    clarksville is slightly closer unless you are staying close to downtown Louisville but it isn't that much of a difference either way

    The sponsored events aren't official events and you won't get a seat in the ME for winning, but provide another opportunity to play. Especially on a day like Sunday where the official event is a Ladies Tourney and the last time I checked I don't qualify.

    I booked Comforts Suites in Clarksville. The front desk said it is about 15 minutes from Caesars. I believe it was $70 bucks for one night.

    trues you the young kid that always wins the tournies there? BTW, can someone tell me who the regular who's old, mustache, fat, kinda balding, and claims to have had 5 ex-wives. I remember when I was there and made 4k in like 8 hours off this guy and after his 8th buyin he went on the hottest streak I've ever seen in my life. He called all ins with 2d4d with a flush draw on the turn (with all face cards out there) and kept hitting it. Also, he pulled 2 one-outers on me to finally stack me.

    lol no. it's defly 21+. I don't recommend you try and get a fake ID and try to play a tourney there. Because there's no way they'll let you walk out of that casino with money if you do cash cuz it's Indiana and not like AC and LV.

    However, I did have a friend that went to AC and won a tourney there when he was 20. He made over 30k and got away with cuz he was Asian and used his friend's ID. Those tournament directors feel really bad in questioning an Asian kid because they feel like they might offend them.

    I have a friend who is 25 try to get in with a recently expired ID last weekend...after arguing for 30minutes they still wouldn't let her in, even if she just watched her friends and didn't gamble at all. so yes, don't bother trying..+ they scan every ID at the door.

    Just as a warning for all you guys who are traveling to play in this event-the structures for everything except the main event are totally shitty. Played in the $550 yesterday and you got 1500 chips and 40 minute levels. By the 100/200 level, it was pretty much an all in fest, with the biggest stack that I saw somewhere around 6000. Main event is going to be good, though-5000 starting chips.

    Correction-I just got back from Caesars and they had a new chip structure for the other events. $550's are 2500 chips and 40 min levels, $1050 is 3500 chips and 50 minute levels, $2600 is 5000 chips and 60 minute levels. Not too bad...
