WPBT
Back in the early days of blogging a ragtag group of poker bloggers got together in Las Vegas for a showdown. Some of the biggest names in blogging showed up and played poker until they crowned a champion. These poker bloggers adopted the name World Poker Blogger Tour WPBT and have been throwing a tournament or two a year in Vegas ever since.
WPBT events have included speakers such as Howard Lederer, Phil Gordon, Barry Greenstein, Tom McEvoy, and many others. We've even had the likes of Marcel Luske, Evelyn Ng, Joe Sebok, and Max Pescatori pop in just to say hi. Hell, Max even stuck around and went deep in the very first WPBT tournament.
You're truly was the very first person out at that inaugural WPBT event but came back strong the very next one and took home 1st place!

- Poker Blogs
I wanted to do a quick follow up to yesterday’s post regarding poker blogs. I got a few emails from people asking what they should write about. First off, I have no idea what you should write about. The important thing is to find your little niche. I tend to post [...]

I was reading the recent controversy created by BG’s response to a post about blogs (BG’s post seems to have since been removed) and I thought I would throw out a few comments on a topic so near and dear to my heart.
First off, I agree with a great deal of BG’s thoughts. [...]
- Poker Bloggers and Poker Immortals
Not too many moons ago I was having a conversation with one of our poker blogging brethren and I made a prediction that out of our little community would rise some of tomorrow’s poker immortals. Much in the same way as the 2+2 community can lay claim to having given the world Greg Raymer, [...]

Sunday morning I awoke torn as to whether or not I should get an early start on the drive home or try and avoid traffic by leaving late. I decided to leave late.
I meet up with Mike and we grab the IP buffet. It’s too late for breakfast so we’re greeted with the [...]

I woke at 9:30 and the calls were already coming from folks who had gone down to register early for the tournament.
I rolled in and Otis had already done what would become natural for him all day which was step in when I was unavailable. If I had to be on one [...]

After showering I listened to the 14 messages on my cell (how did I sleep through the phone ringing 13 times? Oh yeah, I remember now . . . kind of.) and found out that everybody was up at the MGM for mixed games and Mike Fay from the poker room at Imperial Palace [...]

Anybody have contact info for Ryan? I’m willing to transfer the domain and host a website for the WPBT but the email address I have for Ryan is bouncing.
Pop me an email if you have Ryan’s contact info.

I roll into Vegas around 3am and call Michael as I exit onto Flamingo Blvd. He informs me that the gang is up at Excalibur abusing the cowboys in town for the rodeo finals. I drop my stuff off in my room and take a cab up the strip.
It looks like things [...]
- 2005 Golden Prof
Shortly before the WPBT festivities kicked off, the PokerProf was foolish enough to award me the prestigious 2005 Golden Prof award. I think this just goes to show that if you work hard, never quit, and dedicate yourself, you’ll find a way to come up with enough money to bribe your way to [...]

It’s only Thursday and it’s already been a tough week on several levels. The company just launched a major project and I have a significant milestone coming up on another project on Monday. On top of that, I have yet another project going into beta next week so the stress level is already [...]
