Full Tilt Poker is once again offering their Fantasy Poker free of charge.

Pick your 15-player team from more than 300 professionals competing throughout the WSOP*
Create your fantasy team today and follow them through the Series – don’t miss your chance to win a $10K seat in next year’s Main Event for free.

We have created a group called Holdem Poker Chat. the password is gohpc. At this time we have not finalized whether there will be a prize structure, a pool format, or just to play for the fun of it but we have the group set up.

Full Tilt Poker is a bit sketchy on prizes right now but I am sure they will flesh it out soon.

Edit by Fonzi. We're adding the following prizes for anyone competing on our team.
1st - $75, 2nd - $50, 3rd - $25. - These are for overall finishes, not per event.
Good Luck

Select a team of your favorite poker pros and follow their progress throughout the Series – if your team does well, you’ll win prizes ranging from Full Tilt Poker gear to a seat at next year’s Main Event.

The prize list is complete. Click the "prizes" tab on your Fantasy Contest's main page. I cut-and-pasted and mailed to myself (because I'm so computer-hopeless and forgetful) the prize list, the schedule list and the list of players to choose from so I could study them offline. Anyone want a copy of one or all of these 3 things, PM me your e-mail. Just tell me who's making the Event 2 ($40K) Final Table!!!

Loving the look of the team. Just like old times. Just missing a few of the regulars. I sent out a few emails, so hopefully we pull some more in.

We're going to add a prize pool for all HPC team players. Look for an email and a post this coming week.

I joined our team and selected 15 pros. Gl all :)

[lkport]

you can select a different 15 for each game. Takes some time, currently I have the first 12 games selected. Probably want to at least choose different teams for events that run the same day

Eric Seidel tweeted that he will miss the $40K (Event 2), won't get to Las Vegas until next Monday. I did not see the tweet (there's a great site for collected Poker Tweets that I don't think I can mention here), but I trust the source who relayed Eric's message. Adjust your Event 2-4 lineups accordingly, to get the most bang for your buck. IMHO.

Almost had to drop out of the HPC League beacuse one is limited to playing in 5, and I have commitments to a couple that I formed. But Fonzi's and the forum's generous prize$ will keep me around. I'm such a mercenary...

And is this the thread where I/we post WSOP gossip, brags, etc.?

I'm in
Good Luck all
