Think you’re good enough to take down the founder and organizer of PokerCoder? Think you’re good enough to win the 16GB iPod Nano that Logic Bureau have put up as the price on his head? This is his message to you!

I suppose I’ve just gotten tired of making the same old death threats to people who put me out, so I thought I’d make a karmic adjustment. Care of my company (Logic Bureau) I’m giving away a top of the range, brand new, 16Gb iPod Nano as a prize for whom ever manages the incredibly difficult task of putting me out of the competition on the 9th. It’ll even be engraved as such so you can taunt me with it at every event there after.

Anyone who’s been to the last 2 or 3 of these events will know that this prize could go before I even take my seat. So in many respects it’s a lottery to see if you’re at my table. However, I’m feeling good about this one. I’m not going out early this time and I think the idea of a shiny prize for knocking me out of the competition will make more of you play more loosely, giving me a better chance of making it past the first 10 out and winning one of my own Loser shirts

The new iPod Nano is a sexy little minx. Go check it out.

Bring it on suckers!

Ok, so obviously there are problems with sending out a bulk email to over 400 members which has the word “POKER” in the title. This leads to all sorts of ISP spam alarms and local firewall filters firing off, not to mention that your email client often sticks your advanced event registration notification straight in your junk folder, even if you do receive it. We are working on a solution but this is not straight forward. In the mean time if you follow us on Twitter you will be told without fail as soon as you should have received such things, so please, please follow us.

Another problem seems to exist: People do receive their advanced members registration notification. They click “yes” to confirm their attendance (presumably they see the CONFIRMATION page afterwards - if not, please let us know) and then we DON’T see their entry appearing in our database. So, I’m going to publish a list of names of those attending, which I will update daily. I think this will be a useful piece of transparency, as if you have clicked that you will be attending and you do not see your name, you can notify us and we can trouble shoot the problem AND put you back on the list.

If you clicked to attend and you’re not on it then email me

If you’re not a member of PokerCoder or you’ve never been to a PokerCoder event, then now’s your chance. Go to www.pokercoder.com and then to the Registration page. Fill out all your details and provided you qualify under the sponsors restrictions, you’ll be attending the adobe web professional poker tournament in the UK, and it’s FREE

It all kicks off at 7pm sharpe. There will be up to 100 entrants and Adobe are supplying all the prizes. The first 50 entrants get ALPT VI event Tshirts. It’s an incredible opportunity to network with peers, potential employers and Adobe representatives. This is the place to meet fellow professionals and ask questions and the free beer makes it even easier

The first 10 people out get special LOSER Tshirts and their choice of old Adobe crap, uh, sorry, I mean rustic, antique, collector’s crap, uh, swag. Wow, awkward.

The final 10 on the final table get special WINNERS Tshirts and will be offered the Adobe Web Suite point product of their choice (see the Prizes page on the site).

The tournament champion will get a suite of their choice, the champion’s bracelet and a ticket to Flash on the Beach which is a couple of weeks later.

Adobe are putting a considerable tab behind the bar which will open at 7:30pm. The whole event usually finishes a little before midnight and for those who like the idea of cash games we usually put some cash tables on later in the evening.

To learn all about what’s happening and where, go to the website. To be kept updated on what’s going on with PokerCoder events, in real time, I strongly suggest that you follow the PokerCoder Twitter as well.

If you are an existing member of PokerCoder then you will shortly be receiving a member’s notification via email of a discount code that Adobe have issued to me, exclusively for PokerCoder members for Max in Milan. This is from the 1st to the 3rd of December. I will be going myself as some of the speakers are to good to miss and of course the Italian food and women aren’t bad either. And in case you ladies aren’t convinced by this, check out the Italian men.

Please let me know if you still haven’t received your email notification by the weekend and I’ll email you directly with the discount code if you’re on the PokerCoder database.

Adobe have requested that we postpone the next PokerCoder tournament, scheduled for the 18th of this month. This is because Adobe have a business requirement which must now take president. We will be rescheduling the event for October and I will announce the date and venue as soon as I confirm it later in the week.

Stand by for poker.
