Turning Stone Resort·Casino (Verona, NY)
Since it has no Brick and Mortar thread and I am actually going there this week to check it out, here is a Turning Stone thread.
They’re making a bunch of changes to the next go-round, reducing level lengths and playing to the money on day 1.
That's good to hear.
Really, they don't even need to reduce level lengths. Getting rid of the repeat 100BB level and reducing SS to 25k should at least get you into the money on Day 1.
Everyone wants good structures myself included but reaching the money 3 hours into Day 2, come on.
FYI was just looking at bravo and they posted details on the January tournament. Like @billybizzle said shorter levels now and into the money on Day 1.
Does Turning Stone offer 2/4 or 3/6 limit?
Not usually.
You’ll find one 3/6 limit table on most weekend days, sometimes on Friday days too, but not usually during the week. No 2/4 running at any time.
The 1/2 NL is a solid entry game at TS in place of 3/6 Limit because they only allow a max buy-in of $200.
If limit is your game, you’ll find the most 3/6 Tables on the Sundays for which the poker room does the BBJ rolldown - keep an eye on Bravo you’ll see it posted in the room notes with at least 5 days notice for which Sunday it is going to be - you’ll get at least 3 tables of 3/6 on those days.
Hope this helps.

Outside of TS control but for the WSOP events in March, the cheapest buyins are $400 while last year they were $300. How come?

Actually, this year is almost identical to last year. In 2024 the only $300 tourneys were the two Senior and the one Ladies tournament. This year only the Ladies is $300. $400 is pretty standard for many of the stops, but I think it's dependent on location. I played in Indiana last Spring and they had some $250 buy-in tourneys. The turnout they get there was nowhere near the numbers they get at TS.
You’re welcome, Tommy.
FYI the bad beat reduction is happening a week from Sunday on 2/16 - that will be a good day for you to get some 3/6 action.
If you’re there, say hi, I’ll be wearing a gray Steely Dan hoodie… and if your table hits the BBJ throw me a couple of bucks for the recommendation, lol.
