Banned by 2+2...lol

So I am not a forum person. Rarely do I post or even view forums. Just something I have never done. Well back in October I was trying to sell some razor poker cards on eBay and wasn't getting any hits. So I thought I'll put a post on 2+2 just letting anyone interested in these cards that they were for sell. So I created an account and posted and it was immediately removed for spamming I guess and that was that. Well today I decided I wanted to post on something and logged back in for the first time since October and here is the response I got.

What a shame...NOT!!!!

No blogger championships for me

Hello PokerStars Player, You recently applied to take part in this year's World Blogger Championship Of Online Poker (WBCOOP). In response to complaints received in 2007, the eligibility guidelines for this year's WBCOOP are slightly stricter than those in previous years. In order to be eligible, a blog must:
- Have been online for at least two months
- Have been regularly updated in that time
- Have substantial, unique and original content
- Be a blog (not a forum thread)
- Be available to the public
- Not be libellous or defamatory towards PokerStars

PokerStars also reserves the right to limit the number of entries from the same web domain (for example, online poker communities). Unfortunately, your blog does not meet the eligibility criteria for this year's WBCOOP. It's likely that PokerStars' will run this promotion again in the future, so keep on writing! We hope to see you again next year with an eligible blog.

Best Regards, The PokerStars Team

I of course appealed and of course was denied. Hopefully next year I will blog more to become eligible.

WBCOOP

The WBCOOP is an online Poker tournament open to all Bloggers.

Yes We Can

Obama did it my friends and so can NBA and Stewman as we head to Vegas this Friday. One of us will FT the tourney. We are due. With 2 cashes (including a 2nd) in my last 4 live tournaments I'm feeling good but in these donkaments lies many minefields. We shall see.

We haven't even left yet and I'm down $435 in bets to NBA to be repaid in cash/food comps so I'm pretty much only going to be able to play 1 tourney which will more than likely be Friday at Caesars and then hopefully clean up at cash games on Saturday. UFC fight to watch that night and then football all day Sunday. Fun trip to be had by all.

Vegas trip

So this blog has been pretty sparse lately. Not much poker related happenings for NBA and me. However, that will change in November when we venture out for the Venetian Deep Stacks tournaments.

This time there will be last longer bet and I will win it. Why because I'm a better tournament player than NBA...just don't tell him I said that. Of course the bet will probably end up costing me more than it should as I will probably lose after getting my money in with the best of it and NBA will be nursing his customary short stack and survive before he busts half a level later.

No worries. Hopefully we won't be busted but if so we will catch the ufc fight at a bar and then hang out in the MGM sports book all day Sunday and watch some NFL and maybe place some bets.

On the on-line front, I did place on the SNG leaderboard 2 weeks ago in the Mars division I think it was. Finished 96th I believe. NBA is trying for PCA through the steps. Hopefully he will book a seat and take it down for $2 mil. I saw that the Costa Rica LAPT event is happening during my school break. I may try again and qualify through Stars as I would love to go down there and play. Even though it will be cooler and rainy, I would still love to go. Hopefully if I try, I don't repeat the agony of Uruguay!

Well that is all for now. Will update if anything happens and will have a post Vegas report.

Why Play Tournaments?

So Phil Ivey wins over $1 million in a day and almost $3 million in the month of September. Why play tournaments? Seriously, when you make money like this why play. I know it gets you exposure and possible endorsements and who doesn't like to win a competition but why do the grind on the circuit when you can make this much.
