    Unless you got an invitation for a free entry, that will cost you $500 entry fee.

    yeah. I'm planning buying in. It sucks that its gonna cost $500 but I must do it. I wish I have a backer right now.

    Didn't someone say theres 2 brackets, theres a chance you could play 2 sets of cards at final table?

    You can only rebuy the 1st round, correct me if I'm wrong?

    I will easily get through the 1st round with 3 players advancing.

    Backing options for all members:

    I will sell $20/share which will get 1% of the winnings. possible of $20 ROI(Return on Investment) $500 max. I will sell 50 shares. All members can buy more then one share but it will be capped at 50 Shares. I will take care of the taxes for my winning and keep the different out of the taxes.

    Once I cashed whatever prize amount, I can give the shares bought winning to Ken Smith or members that are there their winnings.

    Suggestions of payment,

    1.If Ken Smith or Trusted Member is going to be there, I asked that you send him money through paypal or give him the money somehow. I will meet him there Horseshoe and he will buy me in with how ever many shares that has been bought. If I don't have enough shares bought in, I will cover the different.

    I do not need rebuy if you can only rebuy for 1st round. I trutly believe that if you can't get out of the first round every time. You shouldn't be playing blackjack Tournament.

    My only 2 1st rounds, I have dominated the table and won the table beating 2nd place in chips by atleast 30k at GoldStrike Tunica.


    Remember guys, If I win, I will not need a backer.

    P.S. I am not a greedy person. I am also generous, when I win more events. I have surprises for the backers that gave me a chance when I need it the most.

    These two statements tell me that you still have a lot to learn about BJT's. ;)

    There are not 2 brackets. That does not exist in any Blackjack Tournament that I know of. The poster on that was just talking about a hypothetical tournament that does not exist.

    Re-buys are only available in the first round if space is available.

    I mean they are getting prize money for each share but the surprise is an extra bonus in the future.

    Alright, If you want to buy shares, you can send money to paypal and I will have your name.

    I will also put a picture up of me and my facebook. I will also meet up with the backers that are there.

    With so much kidding in this thread, it might be appropriate to be serious for a moment. Duy Tran, I recommend that you plan to come up with the entire $500 entry fee on your own. Finding backers in this way is extremely unlikely.

    I do look forward to meeting you in Indiana.

    Duy Tran should really consider approaching personal friends and acquaintances as potential backers. Nobody on this forum is likely to pony up $$$ to an unknown and unproven player, especially one who has admitted that he has a problem leaving the casino with his prize money intact. As Toolman pointed out in an earlier post on this thread, the only way most wiseguy BJT players will enter a sponsorship agreement is if the player is already known to be a serious threat in any BJT, and further proven to be trustworthy with the prize money. Nobody is saying that he isn't trustworthy but he's got to prove that first, and he certainly hasn't (yet) proven to be a threat.

    Unless our hero is someone we already know masquerading as someone else, as I suspect.... :laugh:
