The Heartland Poker Tour will be
within easy driving distance over the
next few months.
Soaring Eagle Casino, Mount Pleasant, MI
August 16-24th
Turning Stone Casino, Verona NY
Ocotober 15-19th
Detroits GreekTown Casino
October 19-26th
I watch it on Dishnet satellite all the time,
but for those unfamiliar with it, the HPT
is a "minor league" poker tour with reasonable
buy-ins and relatively large prize pools.
HPT tapes the final table and creates 2
one-hour episodes with full commentary
to be aired on TV at a later date.
HPT usually has 3 events held over a
week at the host casino.
Buy-in's are usually $560, $760,
and $1650 for the televised Main Event.
Starting stack for the ME is $10,000 chips
(5k chips for other events).
Blinds go up every 40 minutes.
I'll probably be giving the GreekTown event
a shot in October.
Anyone interested in attending a rake-free
satellite home-game tournament for a seat ?
