    It's pretty terrible, but the field is insanely soft enough to justify playing anyway.

    I wish they would have regular events instead of 2 Weeks of sattys and then a main.

    the structure used to be really horrible but it looks like they've improved it somewhat by increasing the size of the starting stacks, adding in a couple missing levels and increasing the length of the rounds as the tournament progresses.

    It's still not perfect, as there still are some missing levels but its much better than it was.

    The structure for the main event was beyond awful but the changes should help. Got deep once and with the last 2 tables everything was shove or fold because the blinds were so big. Once they made tv (I just missed it) they rolled them back. Before the time frame was awful too. Less than 8 hours between end of day 1 and day 2. Looks like they have stretched that some in a few of their upcoming events. In St.Louis the Day1C and Day2 will likely be about 8 hours between the two.

    By the way, they totally screwed up the flights in the one I played. One group played one less level on day 1. It took well over an hour to get it straight and played and get everyone back.

    They run satellites for the main event all week and the structure is actually very good for a satelitte. They both used the same structure and level lengths but the satelitte would end before the blinds got too large.

    I played in a super satty for the main event last spring in chicago and that structure was horrible. It was fine early but toward the bubble the big stack at our table was 15bbs and most ppl were between 2-6bbs. About 3/4 of the players were lol bad. One guy was sitting at our table and writing down every bad beat he took.

    That is how it is supposed to work. Satellites never end until people end up almost blinding out. I don't care what structure you have people will wait all day in those. If everyone is deep stacked around the bubble it will just go on until everyone ends up short stacked. No one will bust because there is no incentive to get a big stack.

    Is there any way of knowing past results for these "preliminary" events? I'd hate to drive all the way to STL and show up to a 2 table donkament.

    I can't find any results of preliminary events. I think this might be the first time HPT had them. I think for event 1 there will be at least 200

    I will be at one of the events in April. I will either go to the one in blackhawk, CO or the one outside of Minneapolis. That is my bday weekend so that one might be more likely. If the tourney sucks at least the cash games should be decent.

    I came in about 55th in Event 1, I lost a 100k pot when i was a 77% favorite to win. I had pocket 7's in the BB, blinds were 1500/3000 400 ante. a player 3rd to act doubles the bigblind with 96 of hearts, I call the min raise and the flop comes 456 rainbow with one heart, I check and he bet around 8k, i make it 20k and he shoves all-in, about another 25k, i call immediately, Turn comes a blank and he rivers a 9. It was a bummer, but that is poker, At least i got my money in good. Overall it was a good Tourney.
