With the wsop and the WPT being the juggernauts' in the poker world, I was curious if anyone has played in any HPT events. They come to Chicago twice a year. Love it!

I haven't - they are all too far for me. I do have friends who have played in them.

I played in one of their preliminary events - not the main event - when they came to Kansas City last year. I even cashed, so that was cool. They're here again in a few weeks, and I plan to play in another one of the preliminary events.

It was a great time.

The Heartland Poker Tour is in Kansas City in a few weeks. Are there any suggestions of the best strategy to play the different events that are scheduled.
Its a 10 day event that has many, many qualifying tournaments. But is it best to play the first weekend (Friday - Sunday) or wait until the last Thursday and enter then.

This is my first HPT so just trying to get a read on the process.

Thanks much - I'm stocked to give this a go!

I haven't had the pleasure but I'm a big fan of the tv show. I just live too far away. Maybe some day, though. One can dream.

Blue_Fossil, how long did you play before you got into the money? How many players were there to start with? Nice job on cashing!

I've watched replays of their final tables and it looks pretty soft honestly. If you have the chance to play in one i would go for it. The WPT and WSOP are huge fields and much harder to make a deep run. heartland seems like a great series to start and run it up
