The MSPT advertises itself strongly as being for the players.
The MSPT is one of the U.S.’s most widespread mid-stakes poker tours, catering to players who are bankrolled for a serious gamble, but not so high as the mid-four-figure events and up. In the company’s own words, “before long expansion saw the tour rebranded as the Mid-States Poker Tour, a series of affordable deepstack no-limit hold’em tournaments designed for ‘weekend warriors.'” At the time it was confined to the one state. The MSPT started out in 2009 under the name Minnesota State Poker Tour.
The main events of the MSPT are all $1,100 to buy into.
The Mid States Poker Tour fills the gap between the price points of the big national poker tours and the low-stakes local series that casinos host regularly.
