Nima/Matt:

Do you know any details on non-US tournaments, ie: bahamas, aruba, and canadian WPT events, online events, etc

I've found a few times for bahamas and niagra falls, but really no other information other than dates.

Do you two know anything about upcoming sattelites/age requirements/etc?

Caleb,

Josh Schlein placed second in last year's UltimateBet Aruba Poker Classic. He was under 21 at the time. Their website has some information about satellites and freerolls that are going on right now: http://www.ultimatebet.com/promotions/aruba-madness.html.

There are some other upcoming WPT events taking place out of the country. I'm not sure about the age requirements. Here is a list of this season's tournaments: http://www.worldpokertour.com/tournament/?x=tournaments.

Personally, I think the legal gambling age in the US should be 18. It's a shame that's not the case. I think you would do well in a casino game. If the NL games in Vegas are anything like their limit games, they should be very profitable for good players. If you get a chance, you should head to Vegas when you turn 21. Caesar's Palace has great NL cash games and tournaments.
