Message: [QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 1534499, member: 33113"] btw, you're doing awesome!!! (this wouldn't by chance be a 'brag' thread would it?). Tournament fees where I live are a bit high (~100 players in them) but it's not charged with a 'tourney fee' added to the buyin. No, they're sleazier about it (lol) the money just isn't included in the prizepool (but rake works out to ~30%). They're not held in casinos but do have to abide by a bunch of gov't. regulations (ie. 'non-profit', some of the prizepool has to be donated, etc.). They do have dealers though, & a hall big enough for the events (pretty sure the hall is free because many of the players eat & drink at the establishment afterwards & the dealers work on a volunteer basis. {and no 'free' food} [/QUOTE]
