BlackjackTournaments.com A message forum for the blackjack tournament community Hi, I'm Kenneth R Smith, the creator of this site, and your moderator. The avid casino tournament community has long needed a place like this, where we can gather to discuss our favorite pastime. I hope this message board and the accompanying site will grow to fill that need. So, look around, post a message or two, and please don't hesitate to post your ideas and comments in the Suggestions area. This site can become an important part of our community, but only with your help.
Thanks, Ken ! Thanks Ken for starting this forum, especially with the imminent demise of Blackjack Confidential. I wish you great success in this venture.
Hi Ken, Best of luck with your new bj tournament page. Time allowing, I will try to visit it and contribute something, S. Yama
Membership is Booming! It seems that BlackjackTournaments.com memberships have jumped lately, and just reached 400 members with the addition of neil2689. Welcome, Neil- glad to have you and the other new members on board. But on the other hand, every time that number goes up, I realize the tournament competition has just gotten a little tougher!

Great website! Hello Ken. I just discovered your website yesterday, and it looks terrific - very interesting. I was the 7th place finalist at the Hilton. I can see now some of the top players I was competing against. I feel like I'm now in the major leagues! esposo
Welcome aboard esposo! FYI, I hope to have the details from the last 5 hands of the Hilton posted in Play by Play within the next few days.
Global Player Casino "Sit and Go's" We need more players or people playing more sit and go's if we want to continue to enjoy the only multi player BJ tournament's available online. GPC sit and go's presently average about 10 to 12 games per day which is $50 to $60 a day juice (VIG) which I feel will become unacceptable for them to continue from a business stand point. We at BJT.com have over 2,000 members I believe and should have more than 40 to 50 players daily at GPC. If any BJT members have been hesitant to play due to the worry of depositing funds online please email me at rookie789@aol. This worry is easy to solve.
You're exactly right I was initially worried about putting my account information online. But now that I have it's been a good experience. I played in my first sit and play tournament tonight and plan to do it on a regular basis (you were on that table, rookie789.)
Can anyone tell me how many chips each contestant will be given to start with in the upcoming blackjack tournament that will be held Jan. 27-29 at the Sheraton in Tunica, MS?
HaifaGazelle, don't worry, you'll get the hang of this software soon enough! Anyway, here's a recent post by ptaylorcpa that covers what we expect the rules to be: http://www.blackjacktournaments.com/bb/showthread.php?t=1342
Thanks for the encouraging word. Actually, I'd love an explanation of how forum does work. Appreciate your patience and explanations. Laverne

Kaminari Koggekki The "Lightning Attack" is here!!!! I want to do a quick shout-out to Ken Smith, many thanks for creating this site. Anyone else who has played with me who wants to chat about LIVE tourneys coming up in 2007, please respond!:joker: Kaminari
Welcome Kaminari. Nice to see you found your way here. Based on our experiences at Bet21 tables, I predict a few land-based final tables in your future.
"Divine Wind" I have had the misfortune of being the recipient of your Kamikaze (typhoon-like) attacks during online BJT's. So, regarding land based tournaments, please stay out of Canada. Very nice to see you join the premier BJT web-site that is also quickly becoming a "league of gentlemen". You will fit right in!
