We need some better logos!
Growing
We now have 60 members in the Steemit Poker League!
So far we've paid out 60 SBD in prizes during testing. Come help us stress test the network, locate issues and figure out which times are best to host games.
No Limits!
More good news, there is no limit on the number of players that can join The League!
I mispoke in a previous post, that 50 player limit came from another site I tested and I confused the two.
So tell all your Steemit friends to sign up and to be sure to add their Steemit name (@username) in their Profile "Tagline" on the Bluff Ave website to receive their prize payouts.
What's Fair?
What seems to be the fairest way to do this is to hold at least two different 10 games series at different times of the day to hopefully accommodate as many people as possible to play.
What Do You Think?
Everyone is free to play in both series if they like; there is actually nothing we can do to prevent it. If anyone has suggestions for what we should call the two series or a better way to handle it, please respond with your ideas.
Logos ... m0ar Logos!
If there is anyone else that's handy with artwork, please feel free to whip up some catchy logo's we can use on The League site, blog posts, Steemit posts etc. Cool art always attracts peoples attention and the more attention we can bring to The League, the bigger payouts we'll likely have available for tournaments and giveaways.
@kryptik, @eirik and @nirado have created or offered to do some logos for The League, thank you!
The Future
Perhaps one day we will even have enough to try to sway the Dev at Bluff Ave to improve upon what is a great start and maybe integrate it with STEEM/SBD. I've already touched on the topic with him, just waiting on a response. Perhaps there are some Dev's in this community that could reach out to him (Kevin Tao) and see if you can help in any way, if he's interested of course.
Game 1 of 10
The first game of the 10 game Steemit Poker League series is happening on June 21st at 8PM CST (1AM UTC 6/22).
The prize pool is now up to 200 SBD Guaranteed!
Everyone who plays in the tournament and signs up before 6/21 (CST) will also receive 1 SBD.
On top of that, everyone who plays at least 1 hand will receive 1 SBD.
After all 10 games are played, the Top 5 players on the Leaderboard will win additional SBD prizes TBD by posts payouts. We will set at least a guaranteed amount by the halfway point, probably sooner.
Cash Games & SNG's
We have setup a separate group for all non-League games. Anyone can setup a Cash game, SNG or standard Tourney with all kinds of options, including voice chat if you like.
Sign Up here : http://www.bluffave.com/steemcash
You can play for free or host your own freeroll tournaments or however you wish! There is also a leaderboard, but at this time there are no plans on awarding prizes for that leaderboard, it's there for fun.
While The League is playing it's 10 Tournament Season, all other Freeroll games will be held in this "steemcash" group. And again, anyone is welcome to host their own cash games or tournaments in this group.
Updates
I will try to update everyone as much as possible with what's going on here on Steemit, since I know most don't want to sit on Bluff Ave all day to see what's going on.
That said, I will also be posting everything on Bluff Ave as well so you can get updates there if you prefer.
You will only be notified of The League's Season tournaments here on Steemit, but all Freeroll tourney's will be announced on Bluff Ave only, so be sure to check the site for random freeroll tourney's from time to time.
Freerolls
So far we've held 8 Freerolls paying out 60 SBD total. As liquid rewards for posts grow, so do the payouts on the Freerolls, The Leagues tournament season games and the Top 5 players prize pool as well.
Hopefully this will continue to grow. It seems to have garnered a lot of attention rather quickly, so I expect good things.
Keep upvoting, resteeming and telling your friends!
Today's Freerolls
- 5 SBD Freeroll (6 player minimum).
- 25 SBD Father's Day Freeroll @ 2PM CST
- Probably another later.
Thanks!
Thanks to everyone who is upvoting The Leagues posts, we really appreciate it! Poker is a game of skill, it is not gambling, and everyone is getting to play for free. So even the little guys have a shot at winning a nice chunk of SBD. All it takes is a little skill and a lot of luck! :)
Good luck to everyone!
