Silver Level
Looking forward to my first live tourney, and I have someone willing to stake me. Since we are nearly related, I want him to understand what he is getting into.
Here in L.A. we have a lot of casinos to choose from. Possibly because it is closest to his house, he offered this from Hollywood Park Casino;
No-Limit Hold'Em
$4,000 Guarantee!
$8,000 Guarantee on Fridays

I discussed the dangers of rebuys, but my experiences are completely online based. I can't believe there is all that much difference amongst quality live players and quality online players when it come to choosing a tourney structure.
I prefer the non rebuy at the Bicycle Club. He may not like this because it is very close to where his mother lives.
The Bicycle Club structure is thus;
Mon No-Limit Holdem $30 $10 None Tue No-Limit Holdem $30 $10 None Wed No-Limit Holdem $30 $10 None Thu No-Limit Holdem $30 $10 None Fri No-Limit Holdem $30 $10 None
Simple, no sharks 'seeding' tables, and much more talent based.
I might need some help convincing him that the extra 13 miles will save him money.
Hollywood parks starts the tourney with $500, for 60 minutes the blinds are 25-25, then the add-on, then 20 minute levels till it ends. Antes kick in after the 2nd break.
At the Bike, $2000 to start, 25-25 with 20 minute levels. Ante start during the 6th level.
