This is one reason BJ tourneys are not as popular as Poker, 75% of the prize fund goes to first, in most poker events 30-35% goes to first with 10% of the field making money. 6% or less will make anything here.
Bigger blackjack events are popping up regularly these days in Mississippi, and that's great news! However I'll be absent for this one, spending a week in central Mexico.
Wish I had the buy in right now otherwise I would go oh well guess I just gotta win the one at IP instead Dont get lost down there Mr. Smith.
There are two entries in the calendar for this tournament. One Fri-Sun, the other Sat-Mon. Anyone know which it is?
11/16,17,18/2007 -At last nights tournament I was told these dates are confirmed for this event. Fri./16th- reception, Sat./17th-play, Sun./18th-finals. Rooms are for Fri. and Sat. night. -The 'Events Calender' post representing dates for 11/17-19/2007 has more detailed information than I was able to get regarding payouts and structure although the dates are suspect. My sources are the ladies running the Wed. night tourn. and their names are on the original post. They should have answers and info as it becomes available. **Be Advised** **Entry Fees are Now Being Booked for this Tournament** I am told this tournament has a NO REFUND policy! No cancellation option once entry is paid!
