Designer/Developer Poker Tournament Signup

Signups are officially closed. All of those who have signed up will be recieving an email from me within the next couple days regarding info for the tourney. Thanks!

It’s my pleasure to announce the 2005 Designer/Developer Poker Tournament. It took me a while to find a place to host this tournament, but I finally found a friend who has connections at UltimateBet, to get them to host it. So, without further ado, below are the details…

The Details

When: July 13th, 2005, 9pm EST – Thats exactly 3 weeks from today
Where: UltimateBet – ( download here ) if you want to put a referrer in, use the username joshdura :D
The Game: No Limit Texas Hold Em. This will be a Multi Table tournament, with 10 people per table. You will start with 1500 in chips. No rebuys.
Who: Any Designer, Developer, etc. that wants to play. Just leave a comment in this entry, with your UltimateBet username, and I will get you signed up.
Cost: This is a Freeroll. Free to Enter, Free to Play.
Prizes: Well, as of now, the only thing I have to give is a Timbuktu Flash MX 2004 Bag, and a couple DRK CD’s. If you would like to donate a prize, please contact me
Why: Why not? It’s FREE! If you don’t know how to play, follow the links below to learn the basics of Texas Hold-Em, and then sign up. There is no reason to not try :)

Links to Hold-Em Tutorials…
Basic Hold-Em Rules
Lessons from Pros
Jeff Croft’s Beginner Tips
Andrei Herasimchuk’s Poker Articles

This will be a Freeroll, meaning it is Free to enter. We might be having a $5-10 buy-in tournament in the future, but I figured I would start this out with a Freeroll to allow people to be able to learn, etc.

Ultimate Bet

I wanted to make sure to write a section here about Ultimate Bet, as I am sure there are some people that are skeptical about the software. First things first, it is PC only. Unfortunately the only people that offer a Mac compatible software is Poker Room, and that is Java based. They don’t offer Private Freerolls, so that was a no-go. Second, Ultimate Bet is by far one of the leaders in the online poker industry and can be trusted. You don’t have to give them any personal information (other than email) to signup for a free account. So you have no excuse :) If you have any questions, please post them in the comments.

Publicity

My blog gets a decent amount of traffic, but not enough. Lets get this thing advertised, and get at least 100-150 people in this thing. If you don’t mind, post an entry on your blog linking to this post.

  10. well hopefully this hasn’t appeared 3 times.. but when I hit preview, then submit, it takes me back here with my comment still in the form.

    I signed up – sounds like it should be fun – sadly, my preferred username was taken.

    username: finalkut

    i mentioned you as a referrer..

    also, if anyone cares when you sign up it asks for a “Bonus Code” – i found one on their website – the Bonus code seems to only matter if you are playing for real $$ so use it if you think you might play for real $$ some day.
    —- BONUS CODE INFO—-
    Use Ultimate Bet bonus code FORTY (type in using all caps) to sign up for a new account at Ultimate Bet Poker and receive a 40% deposit bonus up to $200. This is the biggest bonus available at UltimateBet Poker. This UltimateBet bonus code is good until December 31, 2005.

  47. Will it be ok if I have to show up late? I’d love to join in, but Wednesday is band practice so if I can’t get it moved that week, I’ll have to come in late. If that’s ok, I’ll get my username to you.

    Bryan

  48. Bryan: UB usually boots no-shows after about 15 minutes of the tournament. I would say go ahead and put your name down, and if you don’t show up, no worries :)
