This is no longer an affiliate blog

By Joshy | May 6, 2007

Hello all, I would just like to announce the revival of the PokerBonusBlog. It used to be a plain blog about bonuses, satellites and various tournaments. This is no longer the case as Bonus Hound (who used to write the most of the posts) doesn’t want to write for it anymore. And because I would hate to see the blog just disappear I’m going to personally write for the PokerBonusBlog and make it to my own blog about my life as a low-limit poker grinder (I need a new name for it btw, anyone?). This is something I’ve wanted for a very long time since i read about 20 poker blogs regularly.

Big thanks goes out to my friend Glenn, who runs his own poker blog at Weekly Poker Show (you should give it a visit!). He’s helping me hosting this blog as Bonus Hound doesn’t want anything to do with the blog anymore and doesn’t want to host it either.

The top prise will be over $1000 and this tournament generally pays down to 220th place. The odds of picking up some free cash are quite good. Last week only 1545 people entered the tournament.
  3. Beginners Area: Party Poker is the first online poker room to offer a beginners poker area. This is a great place to cut your teeth at low limit tables. Only other new players are allowed to play at these tables.
