    i go to the cat fish casino all the time worst structure ever ever i mean its horrid, total crap shoot after an hour, no fold equity, your only move is all in after an hour blinds are just monster status, if u enjoy a good crap shoot full of donks by all means sign up

    main event structure looks a little better with 10k starting chips

    When everyone is posting about what to do to show their disgust for the new internet gambling enforcement bill, this tournament would be the perfect place to show your dissent. Instead of playing in the tournament, players should be picketing this event since it's their own state senator, Jim Leach, who sponsored the bill. If as he says, people can "click their mouse and lose their house" perhaps those words should be used for his own casinos in Iowa as certainly this statement could apply to his own residents when playing in his casinos. It's obvious that he sponsored the bill because he was afraid that internet gambling was cutting into his own state's profits so I say cut into those profits even further. Just a thought!!!! It's a way to get national coverage.
