It is not a secret that some of my fellow internet poker scribes enjoy playing poker against each other on a weekly basis. We have been doing it for a couple of years with occasional tourneys to send folks to the World Series of Poker, brought to you by Milwaukee's Best and Harrah's of course.

The small stakes cash games at Party Poker were sure to have 20 or more buy-ins floating from player to player as we'd bluff, re-bluff, and occasionally show down a monster hand that would get booed as someone's pair draw didn't get there. Of course, if you paid enough attention those players who were used to throwing down several hundred dollar bets were also giving out poker lessons for a small fee.

Now with the help of the good folks at Full Tilt, several bloggers tourney will be used over the course of 39 events to determine who's got the game to back up the pen. Enter bloggerchallenge.com sponsored by PokerOnMac. I will be jumping into the fray starting tomorrow at the Mookie tourney since I was busy giving away money on Freemont Street last week.

Here's a little introduction from the site, big SoCo tip to Al for this:

Thanks to Full Tilt Poker, all 39 tournaments for the 13 weeks of blogger events will be virtually juice free. At the end of the challenge they are kicking back every single dollar in juice back to us. Every. Single. Dollar. Every bit of the money we pay into the events will come back to the players. Between the weekly MATH and Mook, the biweekly Riverchasers games, and the Big Games, we are looking at some serious cash to give back to our players.

The current plan is to take half of the juice to pay out top positions on the leaderboard and the other half to bankroll the TOC freeroll at the end. Add that with the Wii and DS Lite courtesy of PokerOnAMac.com and we have ourselves a serious little series for you guys.

A big thanks to Mike at PokerOnAMac, all the guys at Full Tilt Poker, and blogger legend HDouble. Everyone has been great to work with. They've helped us with some great ideas and prizes.
