MPT goes Corporate

Since we're huge in the poker world, we are always in high demand to promote poker sites. To date, we have restrained oursevles, waiting for just the right opportunity. That opportunity has presented itself.

By clicking here, you can sign up at PokerBlue.com, a new Poker site. Let's face it, there's about 1,000 different poker sites out there. PokerBlue is new, and they're challenging for mindshare in the pokersphere. So you know they're gonna whore out for your money.

So in order to get you to win money at their site, they're offering a staggering 100% bonus on your deposit up to $600. That's right, $600 free cash money. On top of that, they're offering $3k tournaments as freerolls if you play for a few hours a week. Given that the traffic is low over there, it's a pretty good bet that you'll come out ahead one way or another if you don't suck as badly as I do.

Info on their freerolls here. Independent Review here.

I played only a little on the site over the last few days. The first thing you notice is that it's BLUE. It's easy to navigate through, and go to tables. Download and play for yourself. Just sign up through this link.

Comments

I turned on word verification on comments due to the fact that we're still getting comment spam.

If that doesn't stop it, we'll have to take drastic measures.

BL Recap

Tabatha and SK won. Yay. Contrary to rumors, the tour will not be renamed the sausage Poker Tour or the goldfinch Poker tour. It seems that SK has won the most important MPT skill: Winning a hand as the Underdog. It was refreshing that he went out 3rd in the second game after seeing him treat everyone like characters from Oz for the last two months.

Nickname Clean up: Tim was going to be Doe-Eyes or Bambi. But then he had a MPT Hall of Fame quote after a ridiculous hand. He was in a hand with Squeaky (who had a pretty good hand), and called him down with K high. When asked why he called off most of his stack with nothing, he responded: "I guess I got caught up in the sexiness of Squeaky."

So he is now known as Ghey Bambi. On second thought, that might be too harsh (even for me). We'll stick to just Bambi.

I think my nickname sucks - it lacks oomph, and it's not overtly derogatory. So I'm removing the nickname, and opening up for suggestions. Reg and Musky will be the arbiters.

I also think that Musky's name sucks. It should be some combo of Rock, Whine, Hellmuth, and fish. I'm not feeling creative at the moment.

Next game is at Squeaky's joint. The burning question: Will the all time MPT Money winner show? Tune in and find out.

At Musky's Request

There will be no official MPT Omaha at Saturday night's game. However, Musky has other options for games more his 'speed.' Here are the following games he wants to play over Omaha:

WAR
Canasta
Go Fish

Also, due to potentially changing schedules, there is a small chance I'll be there to donate. I'm sure everyone is eager for a shot.

BL Open

As I'm sitting this one out, I hereby challenge Musky Boy and Reg to finally get back in the groove.

My odds:

Musky: 8-1
Reg: 37.4365-1
Squeaky: 3-1 (would have been higher, but he will spend the first round thinking he's playing Omaha).
Flipper: EVEN Money

Now that he's been broken in with an MPT beat, Flipper is due.
