9 Poker Concepts To Watch For in 2009

As we rush into 2009, a lot of good ideas and concepts are on the board! We can only hope that all of them continue to grow. So…the following is our list of what to look for in 2009.

  1. The Twitter Poker Tour! It is becoming the tour de force of the online poker realm and is expanding membership weekly.
  2. The growth of Bad Beat Clothing. The major sponsor of the TPT. They give away a custom (and badass) t-shirt each week!
  3. The return of the PokerPlasm Tourney League. A points based league that plays a variety of poker games.
  4. Reading this train wreck. Over/under in months on when this fool goes to prison?
  5. Keeping up to date on one of my favorite sites, Complete Poker Rules. A great resource for articles and tips! A site that can only get better with time.
  6. Watching the growth of the 72suited bankroll and of course his detailed photos.
  7. Eyeing the return of Bizarro Grundy. Then the planets are aligned.
  8. Reading up on all the new poker-related interviews at Tourney Blog. Kudos to the lightning round!
  9. Do we see more poker players utilizing twitter? We can only hope, its a great tool, that unites niche bloggers.

Finally, we would like to know what types of articles you would like to read more of. We have provided four answers, but you can write your own in as well!

Twitter Poker Tour President Makes Outrageous Gamble

Promoting the Twitter Poker Tour can take its toll, especially if you are Graham Beasley, the President of the Twitter Poker Tour. After working the streets, local poker clubs, and numerous bars, Mr. Beasley went a bit too far with his words this time.

Mark my words, I will do a shot of Jagermeister for every registration in this week’s Twitter Poker Tour event! I love this stuff and can easily do 20 or more of these shots, no problem.
-Graham Beasley, President of the Twitter Poker Tour
