The Isle now has electronic seat reservation setup

Apparently you can now reserve a poker tournament seat at The Isle online.

A site called http://www.PTseats.com takes your credit card and saves you the wait in line, the company says.

Isle director of poker operations Mike Smith said he thinks it will come in especially handy when The Isle Florida State Poker Championship comes June 16-23.

I ran through the site, and when it came time to close the deal, it was $6 to enter a $100 tournament. Felt like Active.com or Paypal. (And nowhere in the release did PTseats mention that there's a fee. Nice.) But I'll grant that it keeps you from getting shut out. Kind of like buying insurance.

So, if you play poker a lot more than me, is this something you would use?
