| COLORADO NO-LIMIT HOLD’EM TOURNAMENTS AND RATINGS |
Colorado Poker Tournament Overview
Colorado offers a number of good regularly-scheduled tournaments that ought to be good moneymakers with the PTF strategy. You'll find Skill Level 4 tournaments at Colorado Central Station at 7pm on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Gilpin has Skill Level 4 tournaments on Wednesday at 7 pm and Sunday at noon. There's also a good selection of Skill Level 4 tournaments every day of the week.
We need complete information on the blind structures and minutes in order to evaluate the tournaments at Midnight Rose in Cripple Creek. We understand there are tournaments at Gold Creek Casino and Bronco Billy's Casino as well, but details are sketchy.
[Note: for brief explanations of “patience factors” and “Skill Levels,” see Arnold Snyder’s articles on this site. For comprehensive information on how these are computed, as well as information on how Snyder estimates bankroll requirements for skilled tournament players, see his book, The Poker Tournament Formula.]

*** The Gilpin is currently running a promotion where you can play in all three tournaments for $100. The upside is that by paying for all three tournaments up front, you do not pay a house rake (which is recouped from players who enter just one or two tournaments. The downside, if it really is one, is that if you make it to the final table in either the noon or 3pm tournament, you risk being blinded out of (or severely crippled in) the subsequent tournament. |
