How does a rookie hold'em player find out about tournament information? Seems that all tournaments listed are the major ones in Nevada and California.
Is there a site where smaller satellite tournaments are listed, or maybe a site where one can get info on tournaments around the midwest?
Thanks for your time.

Minnesota has a Card Club just southwest of Minneapolis in Shakopee at Canterbury Park. They have a number of tournaments for Hold em but I believe they are NL. The web site is www.canterburypark.com if you want more information.

actually, Canterbury has weekly tournaments, but not as many NL ones...usually just the first of every month...

usually low buy-ins...variations of stud and Holdem (some shootouts on Sun.) - but I'll tell ya this...they move fast...a bit of a crapshoot, IMHO, although the October Tournament fest was a bit slower.

As a rule, in Thurs limit tourney, by the time the field is reduced by half, the average number of chips a player should have (double their original stack) is only about 4*5 times the big blind.

Thanks for the feedback. I am new at cards and have only been to Canterbury a few times and have not played in any of the tournaments. Thanks

Save your time the only players that think that Canterbury is a real poker room are those that live in MN - you have to go to AZ or CA to have a real poker experience. MN is a playing and proving grounds for beginners.
