OK, this one has my interest. Pretty top-heavy but not overloaded with those silly promo chips. Anyone have a line on the format?

-Semis and Championship round count on 15th hand as well.
-Bankroll is $5K w/ limits set min. $25. to max $5K.
-Rules state insurance will be taken in order.
-One wildcard from all participants to the finals.

Hope this helps...

I wish you (and everyone other BJT.com member competing) the very best of luck and good cards right when you need 'em.

Looks like I won't be there. Airfares are insane (!) and my back cannot handle 2,000+ miles of driving the round trip. :cry:
Sure do thank Jim P for his efforts in supplying so much useful info!

A promo chip is a casino chip that cannot be exchanged for cash at the cashier. Instead, the promo chips must be played at the table.

The best kind of promo chips are "play until you lose them". Another common variety are "play once, and the chip is taken whether you win or lose". In the latter case, you get only the winnings if there are any.

Roughly speaking, the bad chips are worth about 50% of face value, and the good kind are worth nearly 100% of face value.

I try to look on the bright side of things, if I'm playing with the casino's money and will only collect winnings then any chips are good for me:)
 
Promo

-Prior tournament winners have not been issued play till you lose checks.
Play once, win or lose, unless you push.
-I have heard of some players having problems signing in. I was told that when you call to register they will reserve your room and registration will be a seperate process.
Good Luck!
