Fitz BJ Tournament Yea, it's an open tournament set for Jan 22, 23 & 24; $300 buyin and $200 rebuy. If it's like the June '09 tournament, first round is Friday night.
Where's the Fitz? The Fitzgeralds Casino referred to here is in Tunica, Miss., not very far south of Memphis. It's located next to the Missippi River and there are a number of other casinos in the vicinity. If you're coming from Texas, you can take I40 north out of Little Rock. About halfway to Memphis, cut across to Helena AR and over the Missippi River to Hwy 60 and head north. The $300 buyin should include a room for two nights and some buffets comped. Unless it changed since June '09, the adult beverages are free, which can be a bad thing for those with no self control like myself. In addition to the usual six-deck shoes, there's handheld two-deck blackjack tables. Unfortunately, the dealer draws on soft seventeen.
It would be best to post this event on the Calendar for ease of reference. The details will be hard to locate on the forum in a short period of time.
