The Kingaroy High Rollers Poker Tour is a non-profit, members
only club, based in Kingaroy (Queensland, Australia) that was formed
to allow it's members to experience the fun and excitement of larger
poker tournaments than would normally be possible without travelling
to one of the casinos and incurring great
expense. Plus it's nice to be able to play against people that you
mostly know, in a friendly club atmosphere.
Once a fortnight a No Limit Texas Hold'em Poker tournament is held
where, unlike local pub poker games, a small entry fee is paid up
front to create a prize pool for the winning players. The format
is the same as you can see on TV with the World Poker Tour (WPT)
or World Series Of Poker (WSOP). Everyone starts with the same amount
of chips and one-by-one players are eliminated until only one remains
and a winner is crowned. Our club was formed to be all about the
members and their enjoyment of poker so every possible effort has
been taken to give everyone an enjoyable year on tour.
To that end, we have a league structure in place to reward the more
consistent players throughout the year and add a sense of purpose
to each tournament. Our year culminates with our "Tournament of
Champions" where the final battle takes place for the highly coveted
"High Rollers Trophy" and, of course, bragging rights for the next
twelve months.
To add even more spice to each game and the season we have added
some exciting elements like "Scalps" and "High Hand Jackpots" as
well as several hotly contested trophies and prizes which will no
doubt be as popular this year as they are every year.
Competition is always fierce but friendly, and with the small amounts
at stake each game not likely to upset the bank balance, members
find the club a great alternative to the other activities usually
on offer on any given Friday night.
So check out our website, it’s full of facts, statistics on our
progress throughout the season and other fun poker related stuff.
If you see someone you know on our site who is a member and you
would like to find out more, give them a call and tell them you
saw our website. Who knows? They may even invite you along for a
game!
...Enjoy!
