Street3

A little over two years ago i joined twitter at the encouragement of my friend and co-worker @thenardier.   I started to gain followers by searching for my main interest:  bitches and hoes….just kidding….sort of.  I was actually searching for poker players and a few of my first were @cprpoker and @pokerplasm.  These two guys were the brain children behind the Twitter Poker Tour : http://twitterpokertour.com/.  A weekly game was set up to alternate between Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars and actually kicked off on my birthday, October 30th, 2008.  Eventually, the games would be solely played on FTP and each week more and more players signed up to play.  I play almost every week, unless i am out getting dqunk.  Today, the Twitter Poker Tour usually gets 40-50 players and Geoff, with the help of Paul Ellis, @coolwhipflea, have set up a live broadcast of the event.  This broadcast can be found on Ustream, here:  http://www.ustream.tv/channel/twitter-poker-tour.  Each week, leaderboard points are accumlated and the top 3 of each month are awarded prizes, ranging from poker training site subscriptions to t-shirts and magazine subscriptions.  The players in these game range from pretty good to downright horrible (me).   But the beautiful thing about it, is that you can learn from them and they are more than willing to help you with your game.  I have gained some lifelong friends through the TPT and hope to gain many more.  It’s a weekly home game in an online world.  I will forever be a TPTer.
