Do they exist?

25-100 dollar a hand player here depending on how I'm doing. Been playing probably 10 years now and never heard of one...

Just curious since I don't get to Vegas or AC often if they had tourneys.

Cylax,

Online BJ is the worst thing for me. I'll drop 50 or a 100 in a matter of minutes..

Countless times the dealer pulls a 6,5,4,3,A,2

If you're talking about in a real casino and not on-line, then YES they do exist. Actually played in one in Tunica last year, at the Gold Strike (it was a $50,000 purse) and they were having one about a month or two later at, what was then know as, the Grand. I think it was a $100,000 purse in it....

Woody, is that something they hold often?

I guess the best thing is to look at each casino site and see what's up...

I don't know much but I got the monthly book from a few casinos and I always see advertisements from BJ tourneys

G & G : I just know of those two within the last year in tunica...I received one of those flyers in the mail to come play, so I did. That was first I ever heard of them myself. I've heard of a couple in Biloxi also (was down there for WPT in January, and heard couple guys talking about) but not sure when of the dates...sorry

Check out las vegas advisor web site and click on gambling and you'll see a drop down on tournaments and they list every kind of tourney that each casino hosts including blackjack

Golfandgamble... How do you do with Blackjack? What advice would you have for a player that is just starting out? I've been studying the game quite a bit and do pretty well online with "fun money" at rushmorecasino.com. Thanks in advance.
