Heartland Poker Tour Players

[Big TR]

I'm looking to hear from anybody who has played in these events. Their strategy of having 4 qualifying tournaments with the top 20% of each one getting a seat in the final is interesting to say the least.

Anybody play in these? How was the blind structure? Did you just pay the $330 for the "main event qualifier" or did you try to get in via 1 table sng's?

The play on the few shows I have seen appears to borderline awful.
