For those who live in Southern Calif,Arizona or Nevada(or visiting),Avi runs a cool tournament on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5pm. If you're not familiar with the area,it sits on the west side of the Colorado river about 15 miles south of Laughlin(imagine a map of the State of Nevada,its in that very bottom tip of NV...AZ on one side,CA on the other. Details...$10 buy in,$5 rebuys(2 re-buy sessions at 6pm and 7pm) 20 hands per round $500 bankroll $5-$500 limit Blackjack pays double(no insurance offered on dealer Ace) Dbl down any first two cards First two rounds...top 2 from each table advance Semi-final...only winners advance,plus highest runner up(7 players) Payout 1st- $500 2nd- $250 3rd- $175 4th- $125 5th- $100 6th- $50 7th- $25 There were probably 70-80 entries altogether. It's a cheap tournament,but a lot of fun. It's important to note that you MUST be a member of their players club(free to join,of course),but it's an open tournament-you dont have to be rated. The hotel and casino are nice. About 500 rooms,reasonable rates,nice pool,beach on the river,and a convenience store that sells,among other things, cheap cigs and expensive fireworks. If you're in the area,check it out. It's not WSOB,but something us regular people can have fun with for a small price.
maybe... I will definitely be there this Tuesday night,the 5th. After that,I'm not sure. I live in the Phoenix area,so cant make it to every one. I'm going to try to go once a week.

thanks I was thinking about Avi again this week,but after checking out Golden Acorn I have decided to go to that one instead-better money,and its near San Diego so how can ya go wrong?? If you see this and are heading over there,let me know.
