Poker From The Rail
a Poker Blog brought to you by Full Tilt Poker
Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail
Things are really starting to get busy around the halls of blogger central as we all prepare to descend upon Las Vegas for the 2010 WSOP. Players are making their travel plans, building a roll, crushing the satellites, and whatever else it takes to make their way to the biggest tournament series of the year. Your trusty blogging teams will be there beginning until the very end bringing you the details. All eyes will turn towards the Rio in just one week.
Not everyone will be able to make the trek to the desert for the WSOP but that doesn’t mean you can’t participate in other ways. There will plenty of outlets to get your daily fix of action from live reporting to daily writeups to odd ball stories you won’t read anywhere else. We also have a few contests running along with the MSOP (Mini Series of Poker) all which will give those sitting at home a chance to win some decent cash and a little swag along the way. Here are just a few things we have running.
In my many years on this earth I have played the “fantasy” version of just about every sport on the planet. Even NASCAR which takes a lot to admit. This year we’re going to try something interesting with the Full Tilt Fantasy Poker Leagues. I’ve created a group called “Poker From the Rail” that is open to everyone.
It’s easy enough to create your entry and join our group, just pull up the FTP Cashier and chose My Promotions. From there you can enter the Fantasy Poker League. Entrants pick their 15 favorite players per event and rank them based on how you believe they will do. Then you just sit back and wait for the results to come pouring in.
We are still working out the prizes but you can be sure there will be plenty of swag thrown around to our top readers in the pool as well as those who perform above myself and Dave. All our readers are welcome to join and we look forward to competing.
Fantasy League: Poker From the Rail
Password: 2010WSOP
If my faded memory serves me correctly, this will be the second year in a row that Full Tilt is offering up the MSOP tournaments. These tournaments are a smaller version of the WSOP events and will run at the same time. While the big guns are playing their way through a sea of fishies at the Rio you have the opportunity to play the same game online at just 1/100th of the price starting with Event #1 next Friday. These events have huge guaranteed prizepool and will draw a lot of players. Similar to MiniFTOPS, these games are a great way for the lower bankrolled player to make a big score. Satellites are now running throughout the day.
We will try our best to track these games as we also cover the WSOP.
Poker From the Rail Videos
Would you like to see yourself or your friends up here on the pages of Poker From the Rail? Will you be running from the Pavilion to the Amazon Room to the Bad Beat Bar? Road-tripping down Las Vegas Blvd with your friends? Why not capture it all on video and let us have a look.
Every phone/camera/PDA now sports a video camera with remarkable quality and we’re looking for the best WSOP related videos from our readers no matter what you want to show us. There are more things happening around Vegas over the next two months and it will nearly impossible for us to see everything. Myself and Mr. McCarthy will have our little cameras with us at all times but this is your chance to be a part of the blog coverage.
I’m sure we can come up with something for the more entertaining videos we receive and we’d like to highlight at least one a week. If the flood gates open with videos than we’ll expand. If you have a video you would like to show us, email BattleOfTheBlogger@fulltiltpoker.com and we will definitely check it out.
