If you are new to poker, you will find this a very friendly event.

How Do You Enter the Poker Tournament?

First, you have to get a players card from the casino and then you show up to the poker room at the Horseshoe Casino and pay the entry fee for the tournament you are entering and you will be assigned a table where you will find a stack of chips waiting for you. If you bust out, you can re-enter the tournament (up to a cutoff time) by paying another entry fee.

How Much Can You Win in Poker Tournaments?

The prize pools for many of these events are $100,000. That money is typically split up among the top finishers. The “money bubble” is determined by how many entries in each event.

Sitting down at a poker table can be very intimidating. I get that. I’ve done it. It’s scary to jump in a pool with sharks and that’s how it feels some time. But the folks that run these big tournaments are very welcoming and they are ready to help you learn the game while having a good time.

I have also found most of the folks playing in the local area very kind and willing to help newcomers learn the game.
