The World Series of Poker Circuit Events here at Harrah's-St. Louis (April 1-15) are successful history. Unfortunately, I didn't cash in any of them. But that's a story for another day.
Being around live poker players, plus watching lots of (mostly new) poker once again on TV -- WSOP reruns starting last night on ESPN, Heads-Up Championship began today on NBC, NAPT starts tomorrow on FSN, High Stakes every Sunday on GFN -- has me once again thinking seriously and deeply (for me, anyway) about the game. And the WSOP is just around the corner, barely a month away.
And guess what I found? Battle of the Blogger Tournaments 5 actually starts today at Full Tilt, running 6 weeks and offering quite a few seats in WSOP events. I haven't played with many of my blogger compadres in a while. Time to change that!
So, without further ado, here's the banner to the BBT 5 info:
Rah, it worked!! (Fourth try.) Thank you Dave McCarthy!!! Yeah, it's ugly, but so's my poker ...
And here for now is a backup link to the BBT 5 explanation page:

Play when you want, watch when you can, and cheer for your favorites. Including, I hope, me. I'll play the next couple Wednesdays and go from there; the goal is to take one down and get a TOC seat!
More later about BBT 5. Meanwhile, I got dumped today from the TeamBattles at Tilt (thank you pokerzentrale.me and Mixed Games Forum for the wonderful series!) sooner than I wanted, 81st/134 players. Not many points from me for my team River of No Return today (and this after my solid 12th/138 last Sunday). Now to get ready for GML 18 at PokerStars (Mixed Omaha today) and GFN Forum Wars at Absolute Poker later today.
I'm playing better. But there's a lot to do, a long way to go. Come and enjoy the ride!
