Heartland Poker Tour Upcoming Events & they're coming 2 Denver area 2!

[lilman2636]

i have cashed serveral times at the gilpin
and they bring the tip box to the final table after
the tourny is done i find it insulting at times because
the gilpin takes such a huge rake off the buy in its redicioulus.
as far as the heartland goes i am excited and cant wait to play.

I think I might travel out to this and visit relatives in Colorado Springs but will travel to Black Hawk 1 day before the main event and try the $300 qualifier. If I get a seat I stay if not I leave, no point in playing 2/5 limit. Is there any chance the qualifier will sell out? Do they have a max player limit?

At Mille Lacs they had 20 tables available and I think they let people buy in until the end of the first round, if I remember right. We were able to sign up in advance in MN, so it would be cool if we could do that at Golden Gates.

It sounds like a lot of people are interested in playing, so you may want to arrive a little early for the qualifiers. Plus, if it's crazy busy parking could be a bit of a cluster.

I can't really answer that one, because the room itself only has 14 tables (right now).

Unless they plan on adding tables, or adding another flight (currently there are two flights), I'm pretty sure they'll cap the entrants at 280 players.

Keep in mind as well, that in Colorado you can not buy directly into the event, so you can't do what they normally do at other events (which is to buy in at the last minute as people bust out).

I know we are talking Heartland but just FYI Horseshoe Casino in Council Bluffs Iowa is going to have the First Annual POKER CLASSIC and from the turnout with the WSOP event held here it should be a great field of players. October 3-7 rooms are cheap and the action is a plenty. Best Regards, Scotcha (Scott P. San Antonio, TX)

RR and CincyLady.....never knew you 2 were in colorado! just saw this thread and I am excited to drive on up and play. would like to meet both of you so PM me and let me know. actually since i used to work up there, I probably already know ya both. I hope this turns out to be good for our little poker hill and hopefully gaming will see that there re better and more profitable ways to put us on the map finally.

SCOTCHA, I was going to go play in that one too, but I have a major issue with that room.

It's a nice room overall, but you can only register in person to play in their events.

They are known to sell out quite often as well, and for us out of towners (those of us not in the Omaha, nebraska metro area), I just can't see spending money to fly into there (or even spending the 8 hrs drive time each way to drive there), and then find out that the event is sold out. It has happened to me more than once, and it's quite irritating to be sure.

Perhaps one day they will get their act together, and allow for people to register over the phone for their events (like they do at Caesars Indiana).

[CincyLady]

I'm pumped for this event, only 4 more days till the satallites start in Blackhawk! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

FYI, I just got this in my e-mail as well!

I just checked the updated info and don't see any details on pre-registering, or what time registration opens for the $300+qualifiers. Has anyone heard any details? I was going to run into the Gates tonight when I was up there, but ran out of time....
