While we are not really sure who coined the term "blogosphere", we don’t think they had poker in mind. Depending upon what your interests are, when most people think of blogging it has more to do with politics, dating, relationships, and things that may or may not be legal with members of other species. It is true though, blogging has become a big part of the culture of poker. From this computer based culture comes the new innovation in tournament play: The World Poker Blogger Tour. |
 They can write about the game of poker, but can they play? That is the question that started the World Blogger Championship of Online Poker, an online poker tournament that anyone can play - as long as they have a regularly updated poker blog. This year more than thirteen hundred players showed up and battled it out for $40,000 worth of prizes that included iPods, Xbox consoles, and a lot more. |
 More than $2.5 million is on the line for participants in the Full Tilt Online Poker Series, commonly referred to by the acronym FTOPS, and event one fulfilled the promise of hot action online, followed up by sizable payouts for the winners. |

 For those who love to mix college and poker, the Victor Chandler Student Poker events are a must play. |
 Full Tilt offers a weekly tournament that has a pretty hefty guarantee, and although the room was forced to lower the top figure down from $350 grand to $300 grand, the attendance was pretty solid. |
 When Bodog makes a guarantee, they make it for real. Normally the $100,000 Guaranteed Weekly Tournament draws quite a crowd, and having an overlay is not common. On Sunday January 28, 2007 Bodog not only held their normal Guaranteed Weekly Tournament, but they doubled the guarantee without raising the buy in. |
 When Full Tilt’s end of the year guarantee event dipped in attendance, was it a bad sign for the industry? Not at all, it just represented the same thing every year - more folks were out celebrating the New Year! |
 While the name of the event at UltimateBet wasn’t titled "the Overlay Event" it might as well have been, as only 729 people showed up to play in this Super Bowl Sunday. |

 Another record breaking Sunday took place recently for online poker super site Poker Stars. |

 Running up against the Full Tilt Online Poker Series didn’t hurt the weekly PokerStars Sunday Million tournament too much. |
 For those interested in catching one of the last chances to be in an EPT event, online poker room Noble Poker is offering weekly tournaments with winners getting one step closer to the Dortmund event. |
 While there are a lot of reasons that players love Full Tilt Poker, last Sunday’s $200,000 Guarantee was not a prime example. |
 Last Sunday there was certainly no overlay at Poker Stars, as their Sunday Million event brought in enough players to skyrocket the prize pool over $1.7 million. |
 It was no joke when Kid Poker won the Poker Stars Sunday Million, but it wasn’t the Kid Poker you may think. |
 Full Tilt’s $400,000 Guarantee continued to pick up steam as more than two thousand players dropped in to play, putting over 350 players in the money. |
 There was a lot going on Sunday, April 8th, not the least of which was the fact that it was Easter, but more than seven hundred poker players managed to find time away from church services or egg hunts to sit down and log on to Bodog Poker in order to play the weekly Sunday $100k Guaranteed online poker tournament. |
 Despite being held on Easter Sunday, the Poker Stars Sunday Million drew a huge crowd of 6,637 players, even though that was lower than the crowds that usually gather on Sundays for the event. |
 The online event with at least a hundred grand in the prize pool draws Bodog players, old and new, but it was definitely a Veteran who had the chops in the event held April 15th. |

 When Lee Jones announced that he was leaving the role of poker room manager for PokerStars it was not without regret, but his new role would keep him within the organization, just performing other duties. |
 Some sites offer guaranteed poker events every week that range into the six figures (i.e., $100k) and then some sites offer double that. Party Poker makes it triple, and this past Sunday was no exception as 1,547 players took part in the event, pushing the guarantee up to a hefty prize pool of $309,400. |
 Yet another weekend passed and another Everest Poker $100,000 Guaranteed Poker Tournament took place, without fail. |

Like all the previous installments, this online poker series boasts pro poker players hosting each event, as well as huge, ever increasing prize pool guarantees. |
 Pub poker is not a new idea. As long as there has been poker, people have been playing it in pubs, and the idea of organizing these games into a league has been around for a while. Online poker isn’t new anymore, either. What is new is a live pub poker league moving online, and that is just what The Nuts Poker League has done. |

 It was a long time coming. Online poker room Everest Poker had been teasing and enticing for nine long months about their Everest Poker Avalanche event, and they wouldn’t even tell the players where the final event was to take place. It turns out it wasn’t going to happen just in one place, but in a traveling tournament aboard a Costa Cruise ship in the Mediterranean. |
 The world of online poker has a lot of attractive qualities, and one of the biggest is the opportunity for a poker player to participate in a World Series of Poker style poker series from the comfort of their own home. The latest such series is the one posted by Titan Poker, the European Championship of Online Poker. |
 The Ladbrokes Poker Million at Ladbrokes is a very popular event in Europe that pits players from the site against one another in a live setting, something they may not be used to. |
 The big poker boom started in the United States (although it owes a nod to Europe for the idea of showing the players’ hole cards on TV) and then echoed out to Europe. From there the Oriental world picked up the action, and now it looks like Africa is gaining ground. |
 Online poker has produced a lot of great players, and a lot of interesting nicknames, and both are combined in the man known as Imper1um, or by his given name - Sorel Mizzi.
