New U.S. citizen Thorsten Hohmann looking to qualify for the USA Mosconi team.
Hope he and Justin Bergman have good years and make it.
Them playing with the USA top 3 could make it a little more interesting.
And if that fails as badly as this year, blow it up and go with the youth movement.

If going to Louisville for anything keep in mind that the I-65 bridge is a toll bridge. You would probably be using the Sherman Minton bridge (I-64 east and west) but if you do be mindful of the interstate interchange in Louisville that connects I-64, I-65 and I-71. It's called Spaghetti Junction and can be confusing.

Another option for food is the town of Corydon, In. Corydon is approx. 16 miles from the casino.

Explore. Go upstairs and check out the action rooms and other tables. Walk around the casino. We found a small group of tables in an area just off of the casino floor.

The floor of the main playing area can get crowded. But it is really cool to look across the room and see a couple of Pro players warming up or playing a match.

Weekly tourneys around here are still $20 plus an auction.
Starting to have a couple higher ones per month ($30-$50).
A local guy is opening a new room in a couple months who added a lot of money to all of his tourneys when he had his last room.
We're all looking forward to that one.

A while??? these higher fee events have been going on for at least the last ten yrs. As for the calcutta you aren't required to buy anyone including yourself. Fees are not out of hand. A lot of the $200+ events are the split-bracket events that pay BIG money. They fill EVERY time so maybe its just you.

I think maybe OP is talking about entry fees and no added money. Used to be you could pay a smaller entry fee with 7500 added, now you play in rated tournaments where you almost have to buy half of yourself in the tournament to do any good.
