I was just contacted about a new blackjack tournament to be held at the Tropicana in February. The event will be for their VIP's only, no open entries for players, no entries for TBJPA members, only their high rollers. I guess they figure if last week was all the players interested in playing in an open event, they might as well just limit this event to their high rollers. The sadest part is it is hard to disagree with them. We were given a chance to show the casinos that we have the players to support open events, but we kind of shot ourselves in the foot. Now it will be harder then ever to try and get another venue to allow us the chance to play the format and rules we want.
