The grand prize is a $100,000 WPT Season Pass plus $10K in cash for expenses.<br/><br/>You can use the WPT Season Pass to enter any World Poker Tour events you want (ten 10K events, a mix of 5K, 15K, etc)<br/><br/>The first free satellite is being held on Full Tilt Poker Sunday, February 10th, 2008 at 14:00 (2pm EST)<br/><br/>Right now there's only 34 players signed up, the top 4 advance to a single-table semi-final in February.

I saw your post on another blog and figured I’d check yours out and give you a headsup about a WPT giveaway I’m running this year.

A lot of players want to participate in a 10K buyin event, but most lack the skills or experience, so if I gave that way it would be like giving away a lottery ticket. Unless they got very lucky they probably wouldn’t do much with it.

So I tried to come up with something that I felt would be a much better prize for the majority of poker players. I’m giving away a WPT Battle For The Season Pass III package this year on my site.

You can win a weeklong vacation in the Bahamas, training from the pros (over 20 in attendance last year) and entry into up to three tournaments while you’re down there. One of the tournaments is a 3-day deep-stacked event with a number of WPT, cash and boot camp prizes. The grand prize is a $100,000 WPT Season Pass plus $10K in cash for expenses.

You can use the WPT Season Pass to enter any World Poker Tour events you want (ten 10K events, a mix of 5K, 15K, etc)

The first free satellite is being held on Full Tilt Poker Sunday, February 10th, 2008 at 14:00 (2pm EST)

Right now there’s only 34 players signed up, the top 4 advance to a single-table semi-final in February. The fields aren’t going to get any smaller as word of this promotion spreads. So if you want in, you’ll want to play some of the earlier events to have less competition.

Hope the tables & life are treating you well, and I hope you’ll take a shot at winning this prize!

I did not myself witness any of it last night but I understand there were a couple of incidents in the chat. I've done what I can to deter that stuff but other than try to explain my position to people, there is nothing more I can do. If people want to be seen in that light during our private events then they are free to do so and they're going to do it whether we like it or not.<br/><br/>Nice playing with you, good job eliminating me from O8 (mercifully). I am 100% definitely positively absolutely the most hated blogger and I won’t even consider hearing anything to the contrary.

(and goat loves it)<br/><br/>If you guys ever want to be competitive above $26 donkaments you'll need to think a little deeper about putting chips into pots as will the other MATH masses.

I seriously suspect he means none of it. At least, I hope so. I mean, he's a good player; he knows full well why he's getting called with marginal hands.<br/><br/>Good playing with you last night. As for hate, I think I hate your QQ in the big blind. FWIW I egged Fuel on because he cracks me up so much at the table. I seriously suspect he means none of it. At least, I hope so.
