I don’t know when those poker tournaments start, but I do know that if you go online to the Bluff Magazine web site: http://www.bluffmagazine.com/tournaments/, they always have updated lists of the current major and some smaller tournaments around the country.  If you need to have more information, you can contact them, at the site, to find out anything else you need to know.  It they don’t have the answer to your questions, they will know exactly where you can go to find out.  The articles in Bluff Magazine are amazing.  They tell you the whole story of the game of Poker and who plays it well, and why (or how).   You gain insights from the masters of card playing, while be entertained at the same time.
