A new idea has come up in the poker world as a company offers to hold seats for poker players in local tourneys. The company, PTSeats, offers a service that has members buying in to a poker tournament weeks in advance at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. Membership is free and offers poker players the peace of mind knowing they have a seat in a popular tournament by purchasing the seat in advance with their credit card. The plan is to allow players to buy in not just for the Taj Mahal (currently the only partner casino) but eventually the Venetian and the Wynn in Las Vegas and even the Seminole Hard Rock in Florida.
