CheckRayz tourneys at Poker4ever |
It seems that Poker4ever is going through some changes as far as who my affiliate manager is there. Anyway, the tourneys on the calendar for us at poker4ever are going to be postponed. There's not enough time for me to submit my tourney request and also ensure the tourneys are set up correctly between now and Aussie. We'll just wait until I return to have the tournaments at poker4ever.

Quick CheckRayz Update |
I'm counting down until I head to Australia to cover the Aussie Millions. That, however, does not mean that CheckRayz won't have some freeroll poker tourney and sweet overlays in our buyin poker tournaments while this is all going down.
We're going to resume CheckRayz league play at Bugsy's Club. Rumour has it that we're going to have Wednesday-Friday league play starting this Friday. $2+.20 is the rumoured buy-in...
Additionally, there is going to be some more action at poker4ever, two freeroll poker tourneys, as a matter of fact! And also a BeerGuy in Aussie Tourney of some sort at poker.com. 2007 is the year CheckRayz goes big! Keep reading, there's more...

Additionally, we'll be kicking off our CheckRayz International Poker Tour with a $100 overlay at Kiwi Poker and an additional freeroll for those who have participated in the buy-in. These tournaments are already open for registration and have a special afternoon start time!
Also, keep your eyes open for news on the CheckRayz Leaderboard Shootout and the CheckRayz Player of the Year Challenge. As I said, 2007, CheckRayz goes big!

CheckRayz League Leaderboard Explained |
A question was asked as to how leaderboard points are assigned in the CheckRayz League at Bugsy's Club. I'll explain that right after the break.

OK, the rules for the league leaderboard read as follows:
For all events points will be scored on the following basis:
Points are scored in relation to your finishing position, and prize money
won. Last place in the tournament will receive 1 point and 1 point will be
awarded for each finishing position above this. So in a 100 player
tournament the winner will receive 100 points, second would receive 99
points and so on downwards. Players will also receive points for any prize
money they get in the tournament. So if 1st place in the tournament paid
$200 then the player would receive 200 extra points as well.
In other words, $1 = 1 extra point.
So in a 100 player tournament, the winner would receive 100 points for
finishing first and 200 points corresponding to the prize money won for a
total of 300 points.
Translated to the event on the 11th, there were 20 entrants. First place ended up paying $39.50, thus the first place winner was awarded (first prize in dollars + the reciprical of finishing place) = 59.5 leaderboard points. Second place would have received 19 for the finish, plus 23.7 because that's the prize for second place from monday, for a total of 42.7 points. Third receives 18+15.80 and fourth receives 17 points, because no cash multiplier would have been awarded as that's where the cash bubble begins.
Norman, if the math is off, let me know... I believe it is dead on.
Remember, freeroll tomorrow at Poker4ever... password is on the checkrayz site - game is pot limit omaha hi/lo...

I don't really have any one thought in mind this morning for what I want to talk about. Also, I'm not sure I feel up to making 50 million posts... so I guess I'll just ramble on and on topic hopping... This can get me back into the habbit of using the bold subtitles too...
That being said, match day 2 of the CheckRayz League at Bugsy's Club is tonight. Match Day 1 featured 26 CheckRayz'n poker players. Will there be more tonight? Be there at Bugsy's Club 9pm... The password for Bugsy's Club is on the tourney schedule page of the CheckRayz site.
Moving on...
Thoughts on Freerolling
I am considering either cutting back on freerolls again, or putting some sort of temporary "restrictions" on them at select poker rooms. For the second event in a row at Poker4ever, three or more of the top ten players are not members of CheckRayz --- or at least not tracable members.
Poker4ever is one of those poker rooms where passwords seem to be passed out more freely than... well, passed out freely. I need to come up with a method to prevent this from happening going forward. Ideally, we need more members to grow. To do so, we must spread the word, but at the same time it is not ok to freely distribute the passwords to the tournaments.
The reason I require log-in on the CheckRayz site to access the passwords is to keep the tournaments closed to our CheckRayz Poker Community. Giving passwords out takes away from the sense of community. So, stay tuned for further measures to maintain our community.
Continuing...
Blogger Poker Tour
The Blogger Poker Tour Event six is this weekend. So far, we have 97 blogging poker players registered. I suspect Skinski's record from event five shall be surpassed.
As always, there will be complete live coverage of of the Blogger Poker Tour event six right here on the Poker Pub Poker Blog.
Finally...
Omaha Hi/Low
While on the topic of the Blogger Poker Tour... Your's truly will be the host for the final event of season two... We'll be holding Last Call for the BPT right here at the poker pub for some drunken, no standard Pot Limit Omaha 8 or better.
Look for me to track down some strategy tips, rules, commentary, and ideas on PLO8 in the days to come.

It appears that despite my copying and pasting exactly the CheckRayz Tourney password from the confirmation email I received from the Poker4ever tourney manager, the password is currently "incorrect" for Thursday's CheckRayz Freeroll at Poker4ever.
I maintain the password is correct... Keep checking back.

We're getting the ball rolling at CheckRayz. This week, we're holding five tournaments in 5 days. Of the five poker tournaments we're holding, three of them are free to enter, paying out a cash prize (yes, free cash)! Bugsy's Club and Poker4ever will be the home to these freeroll and money-added poker tournaments.
Monday (today) and Tuesday, CheckRayz will be holding freeroll poker tournaments at Bugsy's Club.
Wednesday, we're back at Bugsy's Club, and starting our 11 tournament league within the league. Yes, you read correctly... We have our main CheckRayz Leaderboard Poker Tour. We are now also holding a league, or a tour at Bugsy's Club. 11 tournaments, all of which count towards both the CheckRayz league at Bugsy's Club AND towards the CheckRayz Leaderboard Tour.
The top three in the CheckRayz League, after the 11 tourneys will win $150, $100, and $50 respectively, courtesy of Bugsy. Don't miss out.
Thursday, CheckRayz takes the Leaderboard Poker Tour back to Poker4ever for a free poker tournament. Once again, no cost to enter, and cash prizes to the winners.
Then, Friday, we head right back to Bugsy's Club for the second leg of the CheckRayz League.
While I am busy pimping free things, event six of the Blogger Poker Tour is this weekend. As always, the Poker Pub Poker Blog will be providing free, entertaining coverage of the tournament. Be sure to stay tuned.
Mike

The second season of the Blogger Poker Tour is still young. We are going into event three of seven. Each event is a $500 Freeroll Poker Tournament. Leaderboard points are assigned. The top 20 after seven events gets thrown into a steel cage to battle it out for the ultimate prize (no pun intended), which is a seat in the Aussie Millions representing Poker.com and the Blogger Poker Tour!

I just looked at the CheckRayz Poker Tourney calendar and it's not my imagination, we have two freeroll poker tourneys and two money added poker tourneys coming up withing the next week.
Tommorrow, we start out at 32 Red Poker, for our $3+.30 buyin with $50 added to the prize pool. This will, of course, be a rebuy/add-on type of tourney. Password is on the CheckRayz website under the poker tournament schedule and passwords area. As always, you must be logged in to access the passwords.
Now for two tourneys I'm really excited about. On Monday, CheckRayz debuts at Bugsy's Club. I've taken a look at their poker software and I am REALLY impressed. For starters, they have ring games available at all limits, which is a HUGE PLUS in my book. Second, the software is quick to respond. I don't have to sit there and wait forever like at some unnamed poker rooms.
Finally, did I mention that these poker tourneys we are having with CheckRayz at Bugsy's Club start us out with 10,000 chips each?
Monday, we're having the CheckRayz $200 freeroll at Bugsy's Club (remember 10,000 starting chips for all you donks out there). We're going to follow that up by holding a $5+.50 $200 added freezeout poker tournament at Bugsy's club. Once again, 10K in poker chips to start! This money added poker tournament will take place on Wednesday at Bugsy's Club. Did I mention that Bugsy's club has a $25,000 freeroll poker tournament every month for players who accumulate 1000 or more points? No?
Surely then, I mentioned that they're offering a $1000 added tourney with a WSOP Seat also in the prize pool to anyone who deposits $300 or more between now and October 22nd, right? No? Well, I did mention the deep stacks tourneys we're having there, didn't I, and that they're paying out a 100% first time deposit bonus up to $600? Phew, good... thought I was losing it for a second there.
Next Friday (a week from tommorrow) we hit Poker4ever with a $100 freeroll poker tournament. By the way, there's still plenty of time to qualify for the $500 promo freeroll at poker4ever that we're holding. 500 points gains you a pass to the $500 freeroll. Hope to see you there!
Busy seven days for us. As always, I'll keep everyone abreast regarding the U.S. Poker Situation. Speaking of which, I have another room to add to the List of U.S. Friendly Poker Rooms.
Mike
