Do you know if it's going to be televised? I remember watching ESPN one night and saw they had the million dollar poker championship. That was fun to watch...esp that Jack Arama dude with all the funky sunglasses thinking he's all that!
The WPT will be shown on the travel channel, at least it was last time. Re-runs are on wednesday from 9est-11.
The World Poker Tour will be at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut from October 27 to November 17th. http://www.foxwoods.com/Gaming/Poker/Tournaments/WorldPokerFinals.htm
Is there any casino that has frequent no-limit tourneys where one can hone his skills before the big tournament? I understand that there are no regular "no-limit" tables in typical casino rooms.
Yes, Foxwoods has some great weekly no-limit Texas Hold'em tournaments. It's located in Connecticut. I'm sure that many casinos and card rooms through-out the U.S. have weekly tournaments. It's a great way to get familiar with the game. The limit games are pretty good too.
Also, check out www.cardplayer.com Look under the tournaments section. They list all of the weekly tournaments in the U.S. They also list the international and internet tournaments too.
This is how I learned how to play. http://www.wilsonsw.com/ I HIGHLY recommend their Texas Hold'em software.
