Poker News and Tips :Vote Wicked Chops Poker, This Week in Poker for Bluff Reader’s Choice Awards

admin — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 09:05:29 +0000

Calling all dudes who like photos of Victoria Moore…

Voting is open for Bluff Magazine‘s annual Reader’s Choice Awards (engage in the aforementioned voting here).

The Entities Who Comprise Wicked Chops Poker were nominated in two categories: Favorite Poker Blog and Favorite Web-Based Poker Show.

The competition in both of these categories is much like your johnson after looking at photos of Victoria Moore: stiff.

For poker blog, we’re up against Pokerati (of course), Tao of Poker (should be dubbed the “Dr. Pauly Best Poker Blog”category), and Hard-Boiled Poker. For poker show, it’s Poker Beat, that 2+2 one, Poker Edge, and Inside Deal.

Last year, we threatened removing all photos of Keeley Hazell (i.e. Victoria Moore v1.0), Vikki Blows, and Joanna Krupa if you didn’t vote for us. Basically, a vote for “the other guy” meant you more or less enjoyed the occasional penis.

No different this year. Because if there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years: the more things change, the more they stay the same. Or is it that history repeats itself? Or was it he who rejects change is the architect of decay?

Whatever. Eff you philosophical phrases referencing how some things never change!

But in all seriousness, honored to be nominated. Everyone really is deserving. Loved seeing Hard-Boiled getting a well-deserved nod and even we’re not sure how we’ll vote for the best poker show category [if we weren't nominated that is]. And oh yeah, if you don’t vote for us, then you’re basically no different than this guy.

Take part in democracy and vote for Wicked Chops Poker and This Week in Poker here.

The new synergistic poker media property from The Entities, This Week in Poker.

The other day we were sitting around and talking about how we didn’t have enough to do.

“Man, we don’t have enough on our plate,” The Addict said. “Yeah,” Chops continued, “We need to figure out a way to create some new media synergies off some low hanging fruit.” After much contemplating, Snake said, “Fellas, can we get our ducks in a row here, launch a new show about poker–no need to reinvent the wheel after all–and create a first-mover advantage in a disruptive technology ROI actionable items exploit benchmarking touch base facilitate dialouge granular nimble agility synergize!”

“Yeah!” exclaimed Charles, our photographer…/… /… /…

Sooooooo, we decided to team up with the Jason Calacanis/Kevin Pollak team that created the ThisWeekIn.com network and launch This Week In Poker.

TWiPoker is a weekly live stream show (every Tuesday, 1pm) hosted by The Entities. Viewers will have the chance for real-time interaction and interviews with top poker pros, celebs and industry insiders (along with small doses of poker news).

Debuts Tuesday, June 15 at 1p PST…more to come in the coming week…
