Bloggers On The Rail - Top Blogger Tourneys

At the dawn of online poker, it was practically impossible to arrange a private tournament on any of the sites. Iggy would spend countless hours working with sites that did not have the ability to have private events and were not terribly interested in doing so just to get a blogger tournament scheduled every few months.

Popular actor, author, and blogger Wil Wheaton was one of the first to really run a large, regularly scheduled private blogger tournament and set the standard. These days you can look under the Private Tournament tab in the Full Tilt Poker game lobby and find pages full of private games. The blogger tournaments are more laid back than your standard multi-table tournament with the same buy-in, with plenty of banter between participants and generally better play.

Bloggers On The Rail - Top Five Poker Blog Survivors

It’s nearly impossible to track down when the first blog dedicated to poker hit the internet. In the early days, poker blogs would pop up every day and just as quickly disappear. There were few bloggers who could dedicate their entire site to poker and stay interested enough to keep it going.

My next five recommended sites have not only survived but continue to improve. They offer up their daily words to the poker gods and we thank them by wasting our workday reading them.
