The Poker Bus

Bloggerpods 2 and the freeroll whores.

I’m really excited about the second bloggerpods tournament (March 4th - get in!). The competitive part of is starting to take over and I’m already strategizing how I’m going to win. I know that if it’s anything like the previous one, when a blogger plays a hand like they have aces, it’s almost guaranteed to be the hammer.

One thing I’m amazed at is how many freeroll whores there are! For every true blogger, there’s about 5 people trying to sneak into the tournament with a fake blog or excuses. I actually had one person send me an angry email saying it was my fault that he didn’t have a blog and demanded I send him the password

Sometimes I have fun with the freeroll whores that don’t fill in a website and let them dig themselves into a hole. Here’s a good one:

“joe smith wrote: lets go!!!
Website: hey there
Username: (removed)”

“Joe, This tournament is for players who are active in the blogging
community. Do you have a blog with a history of regular updates?”

“I always blog and I love poker. My wife and I blog on her myspace…”

“Well, send me a link and I’ll let you know if it qualifies.”

“no thanks, didnt know it was going to be a hassle to join a freeroll!”

Thanks to everyone who showed there support and joined so far. There’s 25 bloggers registered right now, with a week to go. It’s shaping up to be an awesome tourney.
