LeTune Challenge - The Battle Is On
The time has come. On Thursday, it is time for the LeTune Challenge poker tournament at Full Tilt Poker. With the success from last Rakebrain tournament; LeCheese Challenge still ringing in our ears, the starting field is now greater and harder than ever. 36 of the best poker bloggers, 4 tables and a game of pot limit Hold’em and Omaha till the death. And I assure you, where LeCheese failed I will succeed.
Sponsored by RakeBrain.com this tournament is the sequel to the ever so popular LeCheese Challenge, with some minor changes. Due to his poor placing in the last Challenge LeCheese has been replaced by myself, LeTune and as promised we have added a table, looking at a 4 table, 36 player starting field. The game is, like last time, a mixture of Texas Hold’em and Omaha, both in pot-limit format. This to minimize the prospect of simple all-in poker and optimize for some real poker gaming.
$450 to the winner and a $100 bounty on me, seeing as anyone good, or lucky, enough to kick me to the curb deserves an extra Benjamin Franklin.

I was one of the first to register, yet you fail to list me. I can think of several reasons for this omission :
(1) You don’t wish to scare the rest of the field.
(2) You don’t wish to be associated with a lowlife such as myself.
(3) You are living in denial as did your predecessor, LeCheese.
Whatever the reason, I will enjoy spending the $100 bounty.

Very interesting. I notice that the link to my blog is the only one that doesn’t work. Not that I need the traffic or anything…
I won’t let a silly thing like that keep me away. Based on my current results, you can be assured that I will be the Bubble Boy.

See you guys at the final table!
