    This should shut up everyone that was making fun of the last "High Roller" Tourney which had a 40 point entry fee.

    Ya'll happy now? Freaking whiners.

    Of course there's no rollover. It says betpoints fellas.

    You asked for a higher buy-in, and we delivered. Now hop on in. =)

    Will try and get in on this but 5pm on Saturdays may interfere with something... who knows. Great idea, but definitely consider a Sunday HRoller tourney alternatively (as well)... Not as much going on Sundays now that football is over and usually day to sit back and relax on the laptop.

    How about paying out more than 5 places? You should at least make it top 10! With that many points in the pool, why not pay out the final table!

    I'd like to do a high roller tourney but I'll have to pass on this one due to the timing.

    Should get at least 40 people, though.

    Would like to see longer than 8 minute levels. Should be fun though.

    Cant wait!

    Would love to see 6-9th place get paid like 200-300 each though as well.

    I think that you should get at least 50 players since you dont have another tournament on Saturday

    Lou, now we are STARTING to get closer to a real high roller tournament

    Probably like 50 people max and pay 9 spots? Kindof defeats the purpose of higher buyins if you are just going to use some sort of socialist pay schedule...

    Let's see how this first run goes fellas. We thought despite popular demand some folks would be MIA when it came time to pony up the entrance fee. 100 points ain't chickenfeed, only 4 folks even had the cajones to ante up so far. =)

    Lou, I only mentioned paying 9 really since someone else mentioned it. It actually makes the tournament go a little faster when you hit 9 players. When they know that 6th-9th get paid the same, then they dont have to play so tight and can take some chances. Sort of opens up the tourney when you hit 9 players.

    I am glad that you cut out the time limit to actually show up for the tourney. I cant even begin to tell you how many times that I have been booted from tournies here on this site by like 1-2 minutes. I would have to guess that it is close to around 40 times.

    I expect many will sign up within an hour or two before the tourney... as usual. Especially with the Saturday time slot and players waiting to see if they can fit it into their schedules.
