Poker Blogger World Tour (PBWT)

Well, the inaugural event on the Poker Blogger World Tour is this Sunday! Yes, I am a charter member of the PBWT. You can join... the only requirement is that you must run a poker blog/journal. So far there are two online poker tournaments scheduled in the upcoming weeks. And a third tourney is in the works by one of our British bloggers. There are currently 17 entries ($340 prize pool) and almost 30 are expected to play.

2004 Events
1. Grublog Poker Classic - Sunday, February 22 @ 9 PM EST (hosted by Grubby)
2. Poker Blogger World Tour II - Wednesday, March 10 @ 9 PM EST (hosted by Iggy)
3. British Classic - TBA (hosted by London Froggy)
4. The Pauly World Open - TBA (hosted by yours truly)

In addition to a percentage of the prize pool, here's what the first place winner of the Grublog Poker Classic gets:
1. a free entry into the next PBWPT (March 10). A $20+2 value.

2. a complete set of 650 poker chips from Old Vegas Chips. Start your own hold'em game with these casino-style, 11.5-gram clay chips, dealer and blind buttons, six racks, and two decks of cards -- all snugly fit in a handsome aluminum case. See a picture of it here. A $475 value.

3. the book POKER! (Las Vegas Style) by Bill "Bulldog" Sykes, from The Gambler's Book Shop. A $9.95 value.

4. a magazine subscription to your choice of Ski, PC Magazine, Gamepro, Electronic Gaming Monthly, Computer Gaming World, or Field and Stream. Up to a $64 value
Anyway, I'll be ready to play Sunbday night!! Grubby was bold enought to ask Ben Affleck to play. Here's what he wrote on his site:
Yo Ben Affleck! Stop hiding behind your publicist. What, are you scared to play against us bloggers? Why have you not responded to my emails? WE WILL NOT BE IGNORED. Who's with me? Where'd everyone go? Suffice to say, Mr. Affleck is #2 to reject The Grublog Poker Classic. That doesn't mean you have to! We have 12 so far. Don't forget to sign up! Feb. 22 is just around the corner.
