New Blogger Tourney

Bodog has apparently gotten on the blogger tournament bandwagon. They are now offering a blogger tournament on Tuesdays at 20:35 EDT with a $125 added bonus from Bodog.

I've played Bodog before and have one serious issue with their software. The text is too damn small! The layout is real sleek and sexy looking, but most of the onscreen writing is so small my old eyes can hardly read it. They keep sending me emails telling me I still have money there. Each time I open their client, check out a couple tables, and then notice I can't read half the screen.

I complained about this a long time ago and was told I was not the only one who had mentioned the problem. I just opened their client and it looks like maybe they've increased the font size a bit. I'll have to try playing a bit tonight and see how it goes.

Anyway, if you're interested in playing in this new blogger tournament, here's the info (blatantly stolen from Biggstron's blog):

Bodog is pleased to announce it’s first ever Poker Blogger Tournament with added prize money courtesy of Bodog.

As a poker blogger, I am delighted to extend this invitation to you to play in this tournament, taking place starting on August 28, 2007.

Bodog is adding a total of $125 in bonus money to the tournament. If you are one of the last 5 players to be eliminated prior to being paid out by the standard payout structure, you will get your buy-in returned by way of a $10 bonus. If you finish 2nd in the tournament you will receive a $25 bonus. And if you finish first, Bodog will give you a $50 bonus.

This is a limited invitation-only tournament so the field will be comprised only of other bloggers and their readers. It’s Bodog’s way of saying thank you for acknowledging your contribution to the great game of poker.

The tournament will run weekly on Tuesday evenings and will require a password for entry that all invited bloggers can promote within their community.
