Poker Tournaments of interest for the week and Sunday Shout-outs

Here's the (partial) list of tournaments that have caught my eye and interest for the week:

Today *Sunday*

8pm EDT - Noble Poker - CheckRayz $3+.30 10K Guaranteed MTQ, with rebuy and addons first hour. 2 seats are added, despite what the prize pool shows.

Sunday Shout outs

Yea, I know. The above tourney schedule, with the exception of the "legaleze" makes it seem as if I am writing without really "writing." The shout outs do the same thing, I am sure. But hey... at least it proves to some extent I am reading, right?

First off, a big poker pub shout out to Norman of the CheckRayz tour. Norm's been volunteering pro bono proofreading my site, checking the tourneys and the schedule page, calendars and emails against one another. And of course, I'm doing ten things at once minimum, so it keeps him busy. I truely appreciate the time you take to make sure the message I am putting out is consistant and accurate. Thank you Norman!

Speaking of friends and tour members. Thanks to CT for helping me organize my betting scheme for the Derby. Typically, I am great at rating the ponys, however I fall a bit short in constructing my bets. She helped me a great deal, but my pony picking fell short.

A blanket Shout out goes to everyone in the "blogosphere" who actually, unlike me, use grammar and spell check in their work. Starting next week, Imma step it up and actually check my work before I submit. (Boooooo!)

Thanks again to Haley for tipping me off via her blog on the poker legislation progress.

Another thanks to haley for "pimping" Lou Kreiger's Poker Blog. Lou has been writing up a storm on the legislation currently being considered. He's doing a great job of writing objectively and trying to assist those politicians in thinging things through prudently. Shout out to him as well.

Once again, Felicia Lee gets a shout out for knocking yet another one out of the park with the phenominal post on grabbing your balls Self Esteem and Poker. She's an every day read for the beer guy. I highly suggest that every poker player of all skill levels make her a daily read as well.

Finally, a shout out goes to everyone who has helped to make CheckRayz the hottest and best poker tour on the net!
