I encourage all of you to play in some of these MSPT Events. They are expanding and going to states such as Wisconsin, South Dakota, and Oklahoma. A majority of the events are in Minnesota and Iowa. You can check the complete schedule at msptpoker.com. Literally softest 1k field in the US from my experience. (even softer than WSOP 1k's) Here's an example: This guy who has good success at MSPT's and won the “MN Player of the year” award is beyond atrocious. He busted me day 1 of the last event when he opened UTG at 300-600 to 1500 with 30k total. I was UTG+1 with AA and 3b to 3800 with 20k total. It folded back around to him and he piles with A2o. Board runs out 753J4. GG. Anyways not here to tell bad beat stories but he ended up making the final table with 200k (short stack) with blinds 20k-40k. He got down to 168k and then this hand happened: It folded around to him on the button and he had 85s. He raised to 100k (68k behind) and then BB woke up with AQo and went all-in for like 500k. He then FOLDS to leave himself with 68k which was 1.7 BB's. Bottom line is that this guy has had good success in these tournaments and is a complete monkey. TPE would crush these MSPT's!
