      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I am seeking out Las Vegas local blackjack tournament addicts.<br />
<br />
I am working diligently to try and get more daily blackjack tournaments in Las Vegas by running Charitable blackjack tournaments.   When running a charitable tournament, a CASINO is NOT NEEDED.<br />
<br />
I want to develop a group of locals to support these events.  Cost would be $30. The prize fund would be the following based on 108 max entries.<br />
<br />
1st-  $1100<br />
2nd-  $500<br />
3rd-  $250<br />
4th-  $150<br />
5th-  $100<br />
6th-  $60<br />
<br />
There might be a chance...<br />

To digress somewhat. In the summer of 64 I was registering for college and my first assigned advisor was Edward Thorpe. When I went to school later on he wasn&#039;t there and had gone on a sabbatical or something so I never got to meet him. I did know the name (in those days I still had...<br />

<br />
I now would like to submit a kind of poll to you, regarding your idea of an &quot;excellent tourney&quot; :<br />

- For what kind of tournaments (with what rules, what payouts etc.) would you be ready to take a plane from the US/Canada to Europe in order to participate ?<br />

Thanks again for sharing !<br />

<br />
Once chip stacks hit a certain level, the dealer began exchanging regular chips for these rectangular guys.  It totally threw me off. Hell, the round ones do too!  Adding these made it worse.<br />
<br />
Is this a normal occurrence to be prepared for? What are the value of those things?  Thanks!]]></content:encoded>
