06/07/07 update:
The 6/06/07 event was a little disorganized which is 
typical for Caesars Indiana. Right from the beginning they 
started late hoping against hope to get enough people 
signed up to fill up the first session. This didn't 
happen. None of the sessions were conpletely full and the 
last session was less than 1/2 full. So as a result 
everything was off schedule right from the start. Another 
side note: the worst dealer there was also the one dealing 
the second round (final table) for most of the 6 
tournaments. What were they thinking.

I originally thought this series would be successful but 
after considering the rules which overly favor the 
ploppies, I think this tournament is headed for disaster. 
The rules I'm talking about are NO MAX BET, ONLY 15 HANDS 
and BJ PAYS 2:1. Also, this tournament carries an 
undesirable EV.

So, badly run, bad rules, EV should be better, and bombs 
away player attitude prevails. It's typical Caesars 
Indiana. Also, looks like the Finals Prize Pool will be 
reduced due to a lack of players making the EV worse.).
