Crown removing Limit tourneys (oh, and Aussie Millions schedule released)

[tsapy]

I agree that they should keep/move limit events to PokerPro. Maybe it doesn't make sense from a business perspective. Though you would think that they'd have at least ONE LHE event!

Out of interest, what have the numbers been for the Aussie Millions limit events over the past 5 years?

Results ....for results over last 5 years...

i realise the structures aren't out as yet but going on previous years how is the structure/ starting stack for the $550 nlhe? any good? or better off going for opening event ($1100)?

[Strong Play]

I just assumed the less popular events would still be on pokerpro at some point like last year... - this is not the case?

strange to not use pokerpro at all given the amount of time/money crown has put into promoting it...

If you look at the Aussie Millions as a business unit of Crown rather than a warm fuzzy poker event then the schedule & events make more sense.

Crown are looking to get maximum bang for buck and with so many no limit players in town this is the game of choice for as many events as they can squeeze in...sad but true.

Don't they lose money on tournament tables vs cash games?

ultimately they need to do it as a business...so i get it.

I cant afford any of those games plus flight plus accommodation over buying stuff we need for my kids so doesnt worry me but then I am not the 21 yuold multi millionaire internet wizz kid so well oustide their market place.

Anyway i am sure they will get the crowds just on the back of the good exposure they have among the pros as an event to come to.
