Three awesome Steem Poker community events took place this past week.
The third Steemit Poker Pro League Tourney was the first event played this past week by the Steem Poker community. Twenty-six (26) Steemians battled out a grueling Pro League competition.
@luj grinded out a victory over @bola winning 40 SBD for his efforts.
Check out more detailed analysis and coverage of the event here: https://steemit.com/poker/@tuck-fheman/steem-poker-pro-league-100-sbd-7-11-results-are-in-congratulations-to
The next poker event taken place last week was the 100 SBD Steem Pro League Tourney. The @spl is the premiere Steem poker league that was founded by @tuck-fheman and @bigpchef and has paid out over 1700 SBD out to date to Steemians apart of the Steem Poker community.
They are the definition of leaders as they took this responsibility of starting and building a premiere Steem Poker league on themselves using their own time and resources to provide a place for Steemians to interact, build relationships, and play poker.
Forty-two (42) Steemians took part in this epic poker tourney hosted by the @spl . @writingamigo mastefully navigated through the tournament with superb, timely play edging out @lexiconical for the victory and 40 SBD.

The last event this past week played by the Steem Poker community was the Weekly Thursday Steem Poker Tourney hosted by @chiefmappster . This week's prize pool was supported in part from @guyfawkes4-20 as well. Thanks again @guyfawkes4-20.
Thirty (30) Steemians took part in the third Weekly Thursday Steem Poker Tourney hosted on the epic lucksacks.net the home of the @spl and Steemit's premiere poker portal was an epic experience for all involved. There was a lot of action getting the last ten players down the money. @celsius100 ultimately ended up taking down the top prize by combining excellent play and timely calls to beat out @paulyaces76 and @lebekons for first place and win 15 SBD.

In an effort to streamline operations, the @spl is searching for a programmer who can help automate payments between the Steem blockchain and Poker Maven, Lucksacks.com 's poker platform provider.
By automating these payments, it will free up @tuck-fheman and @bigpchef to focus on community building activites and coming up with more epic ideas like the Steem Team Poker League.

The third topic discussed in Issue #3 of Poker Today is an epic idea by @tuck-fheman and @bigpchef called the Steem Poker League: TEAM UP EDITION.
This is truly an innovative community team building activity that encourages teams of three Steemians to group up and enter into a Team Competition where each team is rewarded points based on participation and results of its team players. There are some epic team designs already created in anticipation of the beginning of this amazing Steem Poker community competition.

The Steem Poker communities' epic shirt and table designs created by Steemians apart of the poker community is the fourth topic discussed in this issue of Poker Today.
In effort to raise additional awareness and funds for the Steem Poker community, the @spl is selling merchandise including shirts, hats, and hoodies on their poker portal Lucksacks.com
Some Steemians like @fivefiveeleven are stepping up and creating multiple designs and donating them to the @spl .

Its absolutely an inspiration to see. Thanks again @fivefiveeleven and all the designers who help the @spl and related events maintain a professional image.

Just a minor piece of errata, you have me listed as @lexicon. That's actually someone else that I'm not familiar with; I don't think he plays with us. I'm @lexiconical.
See you guys at the next tourney!
Ayyy sorry buddy i'll update it now, thanks for letting me know.
And heck yeah glad you like and good luck :)
Thanks bud, see you at the tables next time.
Sounds good buddy. By the way I think BTC will reach $1000 soon :)
I think you're right. Now, if only I could figure out a way to get cash in...
I tried to setup a wire to CCEDK for Bit.USD and my bank shutdown my whole account.
PS - I just posted new charts on the pricing in my blog.
Ay I'll check it out buddy.
That is so odd, I have heard of Bitcoin options. Now a Bitcoin put option is something I would be all over
Can someone explain how to join the tournaments ?
TY
You register at lucksacks.com. Make sure to put your steemit username where prompted.
go to Lucksack.com and create an account.
And then sign-up for tournies :)
It asks for a password when i hit play . Do you mean the steemit password ?
I don't think i can give it away because a site ask me to .
sorry my fault. the password is: donkeysonly
I registered to the site. When it asks for name i put @enterg in both fields .
Is that correct ?
Yes sir buddy. Can't wait to see ya on the tables
See you there . may the flop be with you :)
Ayyyyyyyy I love it sounds good buddy
