Bargain Sit and Go Poker Tournaments in Las Vegas

In doing research for another post on sit and go poker tournaments in Las Vegas, I found that most of the poker rooms are offering them at a fairly high buy-in. Although this may not bother some of you, it does cause a problem for the novice who is just trying to get his feet wet in a new type of poker tournament.

There is one poker room, however, that has sit and go tournaments at a very reasonable buy-in amount. The Plaza Casino, downtown, offers sit-n-go tournaments for a $40 buy-in from 9:00AM until 12:00AM, seven days a week.

These start as soon as there are 10 (ten) players signed up for a tournament. Usually this happens about three times an hour. So there is always a game going on or just getting started. When you sign up for the tournament don't go too far away as they fill up quite fast. If you're not there when the tournament starts, you will lose your seat.

The pay outs for these tournaments are $240 for first place and $90 for second place.

See you there.

Good Luck
