world poker tour

On sort of a related sidebar, about ten years ago I played a Texas Hold em video poker game at the Four Queens.
The ante was a quarter as was the cost for the flop, turn and river. You could fold at any point after the ante. You played against four other players who never folded. If you stayed in to the end and won, you got paid according to a paytable that was higher as the winning hands got better similar to VP. (A royal paid 4000 quarters - sound familiar? and was almost exactly as common as a royal in 9/6 jacks.) Also, if your folded hand would have won, you got your bet back.

vegas in december and will be there on the same weekend as the world
poker tour will be at bellagio. has anyone gone to one of these
tournaments and is there a way to get in or make reservations? i

Sounds like a typical low-limit game to me =). This is very
interesting I wish I could have seen these machines. I wonder what
the payback was on them.

And I am sure there are lots of satelites and super satellites ranging from$100-$250ish to $1000 buy to win a $10k seat
