Noteable hands on the Beer Guy’s tables…

4.25ish – Get my ass chewed from CawtBluffin for referring to HER as a he.

4.45ish – run into a nice value bet from quibbles.

5.25ish – throw the utg limp with AA. Moneym8, in the BB catches two pair on the flop. Board counterfeits on the river, saves the drunken donk.

5.29ish – moneym8 makes nice recovery.

5.30 – quibbles doubles up via my 7-7 to his 8-8.

5.34 – quibbles cripples me catching draw on the river to the nut straight, reraising me to allin on the flop.

5.36 – quibbles runs into a monster, eliminated by gianpy87.

5.40 – 3 handed and allin… knocked out by gianpy87′s pocket nines.

Additional “Unofficial” BPT News

I’m always a believer in being an “active,” “innovative” and “participating” member of the communities in which I choose to belong. The BPT is no different. I’ve put together a “blog roll” and have taken the initiative of placing the link to each of the blogs to the Poker Pub. If you would like to do the same, you can access the unofficial text list of BPT participants here.

A few notes on this list:

1. The list was done by hand, specifically by the hand of the Drunken one. That being said, there “may” be some blogs I accidentally missed. Additionally, there may be some duplicate entries.

2. There was surely an automated, easier way for me to do this, though I do not know how, and even if I did, I’d rather go with the personal touch.

3. There is no “real” order to this list presently. I went down the line of blogs linked to the blogger poker tour website.

4. I most likely “came back to you” and listed lower the blogs that had the BPT banner in a post, as opposed to the more permanent outer column.

5. If your blog was “grayed out” (meaning “probation status”) and I couldn’t come up with a reason to question why that was within approximately three seconds, I probably didn’t add ya.

6. I probably put a blog or two on that didn’t belong, and it may have been accidentally, it may have been on purpose.

7. If you copy the blog roll and implement it on your site, you’ll probably be bumped up the list. If I read your blog regularly, I’ll probably bump you up the list (and probably add you to the “blogs I read” list of mine as well). If you update your content regularly and I see that, I’ll probably bump you up the list.

8. If you make me aware (drop me a line) that you’ve copied the blog roll and put it on your blog, you’ll almost certainly be moved up the list.

9. If I made a mistake, forgot ya, or you have any questions, comments, concerns, ideas, and/or suggestions; contact me via number 8.

10. This list is unofficial, I will update once per week, most likely on Saturdays or Sundays. When I update, I won’t go back to check for “probation” to be satisfied. I’ll start with the last blog added and work down. If you’re higher than the last blog added (not to be confused with the last blog on the roll, keep in mind), contact me and I’ll add your blog to the list, if appropriate. If you’d like me to “push out” new updates to you of the blog roll via email, drop me a line using the link in number 8 alerting me of such.

11. “Catch all”… anything not listed in 1-10 “may” be covered here…

1. Download the Poker.com software here if you do not yet have the software and an account,
