My grandad's brother emmigrated there after the second World War. Just a quick question on Vegas Marcus. I quite fancy playing a few STTs when I'm over there next. Is this possible? Last time I only played cash games but was usually a bit worse for wear . Just looking for a 10 man table tourney or something like that?

Your talking about the Sit And Go type tournaments where just 10 people and top 3 get paid? Don't believe any casino does those types as I've only seen regular tournaments (25+) people. The sit and go's are very tough to do in a casino. But I'll call around for you to make sure.

Yeah something like that - thanks mate. Just keen to play something other than straight cash games. 25 man tourneys or plus would be ideal too.

Ok I'll check into it for ya. I really doubt the Sit and Go type format as its not as profitable to the casinos as the bigger type tournaments with more people. I love the Sit and Go type tournaments online and make good money on htere, but have never found a casino that does that here. I know a casino down the street form me "Poker Palace" has a daily tournament of 25 bucks entry. Its a smaller casino tho. But I know many other casinos have their tournaments as well. I'll call around and try to get a summary for ya.

I have a son called Marcus too, what a coincidence .
to the poker bit Marcus. Very interesting reading about all the NFL, rugby stuff etc. Snooker is much less dangerous, been playing for years and can't recall ever sustaining any injuries. Ripped my trousers once during a league game when my pocket caught on the ball rail, very embarassing mind yi

BDaveG: Talked to my mom today and found out she lists poker tournaments on her site. I'll give you the link for that as she updates it frequently and will give you a better idea on everything. ************* just go to the bottom of the page and go to Gambling Information/Tips & Vegas news. She has a thread in there called All The Latest Gambling Tournaments In Las Vegas and has information there for poker tournaments or even if you fancy a blackjack tournament.

Hope posting the link isn't in violation of anything, but its my mom's site so I get nothing from it other then being her son. lol

Sorry mate - a lot of affiliate links there!!! You will need to get permission from Paul Ross to post the link.....

[Marcus0000]

Yeah thats why I wasn't sure about it because of the affiliate links she has on there. Don't mean to ruffle any feathers or anything.
