    Tourney Poll

    Since the Hilton Million is the only one I played in, that sort of swayed my vote. I would like to see a little more equitable distribution of prize money. I played in a 50K winner take all at Caesars and finished second, that was a bummer!

    Ouch!!!!!!

    Those are the tournaments (winner take all) where I want some type of deal with the other finalist. With $50,000 for for place I would offer up to $2,000 for the other players and still walk with $40,000, knowing I'll make min. $2,000.

    Come on players

    I know we have more then five players that have played these tournaments.
    Even if you haven't played them, what is your favorite (Blackjack tournament) that you have played?

    A quickie

    My favorite little tourney is the Colorado Belle Daily down in Laughlin.

    Format: $10 entry for nine hands qualifying, 10 black chips, $100-500 bet, BJ 2/1. Guaranteed $300 prize fund ($500 on Saturday). A couple of sessions to qualify, just walk up during the three hour periods. Top five scores posted. Must better a posted score. Top five qualify for 9pm final, plus two wild cards.

    Final-13 hands, 10 chips, button random start position. $150 for first, $70, $40, $25, $15. Make final table and get a decent T-shirt.

    Why I like it-no BS, rules explicitly posted and followed. A clock is even on the scoreboard for drawing time, you have 5 seconds for wildcard drawing.

    Sometimes there is positive equity. Fun and quick!
