Rudius Media is launching a new site, InternetCelebrityPoker.com (site is not up yet), to organize monthly poker tournaments that allow anyone to compete against Internet Celebrities. The second official tournament is Wednesday, November 1st at 9:30pm EST, with a $1000 prize pool. As an added bonus, there will be bounties on the heads of each of the celebrities for whoever eliminates them from competition. Internet Celebrities scheduled to play this month:
Tucker Max - Internet celebrity, New York Times Best-selling Author.
Mark Ebner - Rudius Media blogger, New York Times Best-selling Author, poker fiend.
Andrew Breitbart - Runs his news website, New York Times Best-selling Author, West Coast editor of The Drudge Report.
Bill Dawes - Stand-up comedian, actor, and Rudius Media blogger (and the celebrity who lasted longest last month!).
Me - Somehow I register as an internet celebrity using this rubric
For more information including sign up bother Jordan Golson, he is the guy who runs all this shit.
Next month, the tournament will have all these people, but will add Paul Shirley, Maddox, TheBunny, and many more. As this grows and develops, they'll also get a site up where the results of each months tourney can be seen, and you can see how you did against the various celebs.
So you aren't too intimidated to join, understand that I am fucking horrible at poker. I have zero patience and take stabs at the pot like a blackjack player goes with an instinct on a particular hand. If I last more than 45 minutes it will be a fucking miracle. Sign up and have fun. Or don't and masturbate quietly in the dark, alone with the sound of your hand as it pummels your genitals.
