Any guesses as to how many runners the day 1 flights will get at the upcoming midweek mayhem series? Also interesting to see $300 and $160 starting flights, with $300 getting double stacks. $300 day 1s play down to 12.5% of the pool; the $160 flights play down to 6.25%.

Most interested in hearing whether they would typically hit the 16 table max, which would argue for getting there early if so.

Appreciate any replies. Thanks


The electric city poker series is going this week.

Do they show rake/ levels anywhere for $800 main ?
Have dealers gotten any better, seeing complaint about last years dealers above ?
Thinking of going Friday to play it.

The details for the blind levels are available in the poker room. I haven't seen it posted online.

I can't say for certain, but I assume the dealer situation will be the same as last year. They don't have enough poker dealers to deal the tournament and their cash games, so the regular dealers will take the cash games and more than likely, most of the tournament dealers will be woefully undertrained table games dealers.


Not sure that it matters, but I was reading the rush rewards t&c, and it looks like poker players can’t tier up:

“Points for live poker play within the Poker Room are earned at a 100 points/hour rate calculated based on an hours-played formula; live poker play within Poker Room play does not qualify for Tier credits.”

Can anyone confirm this?

Seems like the T&C confirmed it for you. If you ask someone in the poker room, they're just going to refer to the T&C.


They have a mess of new tournaments coming on a regular basis in 2025, ranging in buy-in from $160 to $500. Glad to see they're stepping it up. You can see everything on the Bravo app...they have the whole year laid out.
