Blogger? Join the Blogger Poker Tour today! From the Blogosphere to the Aussie Millions... BPT - only at Poker.com!. BPT Event 7 (12/16) Omaha Hi/Low, hosted by The Poker Pub Poker Blog


For the Blogger Poker Tour, today is game day... Usually, here at the Poker Pub Poker Blog, we start our live coverage of the Blogger Poker Tour about an hour prior to the 3pm start. We decided today to start tailgating - pregame festivities if you will. And speaking of the game, as of 8am, there's 105 chip slinging bloggers ready to do battle on the virtual felt of poker.com's BPT Tables. Today's event - hosted by ZowieZ over at "It's flopilicious," is a traditional full table NL Texas Hold'em poker tournament. I expect this tournament to break the record, set by skinski last week.


We'll be back throughout the day with coverage and BPT talk.

8.50... it should be noted, blogger is being a pain in the ass... most of the features (link button, bold type, spell check - not that i use it) are not present. Additionally, there's a scheduled outage at 3pm PST. I'll do my best, but no beerguy guarantee today.

10.00... I know I sound like a house dog, being made to sleep outside, but it's really irritating me to be without my link and bold buttons... Though, we're at 112 entries now, which is the largest BPT event on record (until next week, of course).

11.30... up to 120 registered. I'm really beginning to wonder if I bought enough beer...

11.45... John reports in blogger is AFU for him too. First official Beerguy - Poker Pub Drunken prediction has John at the final table. If we take a quick poker pub flashback, we see that my predictions do generally come true here.

12.15... Poker Pub Poker Blog prediction number two... Alex will recover nicely and make it to the final two tables. I only say recover nicely because his football club was beat badly by my football club, though I did not expect a different result.

12.40... 123 entered now... Further predictions include a first time player finishing top three, and a newb being first to be eliminated. Over/under on sitouts not joining before being blinded out is 18. Headwaiter goes broke having his opposition preflopped, but villian outflops him...

1.00... more predictions... Joey recaptures a top 20 spot on the leaderboard... Over-under for 5th st. players in the top 20 for this tourney is 6.

1.30... a host wins, Jay gets caught, i get sick of the link button not working and become lazy in my pregame linking...

2.10... I come up with this brilliant plan to hit the casino tomorrow, because it's the weekend of the 1st of the month, which means anyone who gets pension/government/welfare checks will be up there - my guess is that the tables will be extra juicy...

2.15... 127 bloggers in... Some damn uhaul just pulled up and parked in front... I'm predicting it messes my internet connection up worse than it normally is...

Live, realtime coverage of Blogger Poker Tour Event 6 begins... next

A half hour to go and 130 of the biggest, baddest BPT Poker Bloggers are in. And speaking of "in," who today shall join ReplicantPoker, Alex, kufolem, freeroll26, and iyatoni as season two event winners in this event six of the blogger poker tour's second season? We'll find out shortly.

It should be noted, this is the largest BPT event to date and shall be the richest in terms of Blogger Poker Tour leaderboard points. A strong finish by any of the top 20 with one event left will all but guarantee a spot in the grand final, where we'll be sending a blogger to represent the Blogger Poker Tour and Poker.com in the Aussie Millions.

As always, you can follow along with up to the minute live chip counts for the Blogger Poker Tour here. I'll be providing live play by play commentary. Momentarily, the comments will open to comment in real time on the action. And on that note, we'll be back in 20 for the start of the tourney...

And here's the tables we'll be following to start:

BeerGuy's table
imjusthere4thebeer, sweblackbird, rlbasil, pokhercrazy (best name award winner), dawgroyal, pinyoD8, gohabs1234, porkrind333, ghabanosim

this table, for the record, is no cakewalk...

Feature Table
