PokerStars World Blogger Championship of Online Poker
Yes, I registered to play in the PokerStars World Blogger Championship of Online Poker that took place yesterday.
And there is nothing like having your computer lose the ability to connect to the internet a mere ten minutes before a poker tournament you registered to play in weeks ago. This wasn't just a matter of refreshing and then getting re-connected. This was the computer saying, "You are indeed connected via your wireless network, but I'm just not going to connect you to anything, anywhere, at any time."
It will be interesting to see -- if I even managed to get my spot at the table without even being able to log on -- how long one can last in a tournament with well over 2,000 players if you do nothing but pay your blinds when they come around. Sonofabitch!
