Updates, News, and Notes

All in before the flop, @Wisher’s AA holds up and he builds a nice early lead in the @followbtcnews 5 SBD freeroll

We’re down to the final table and there’s mayhem. Three players go all-in before the flop and Hoodish has his kings crushed by 810 as @cryptorichie hits the straight

• Yesterday’s winners:

In the early 2 SBD Tuesday Tooth Fairy, hosted by @PhilippeKiene, @yazp continued his hot streak and took first place.

Yesterday was Tuesday, which means it was time for another round of HORSE with Hoodish. @PotPlucker knocked me out and played nearly flawless poker on his way to winning .90 SBD in the 2 SBD tournament.

26 players showed up to play in the @followbtcnews 5 SBD freeroll. @Cryptorichie hit some massive hands early but ran into @hopfarmnc, who was able to beat @ioquedog21 heads-up for the win.

• Victory Day Tournaments are almost here! We owe a big thank you to @guiltyparties for funding the two 25 SBD freerolls on May 8th and May 9th. Please upvote and share, and come out and play with us!

• @pcste hosts a weekly 10 SBD freeroll. Learn more about it here and make sure to show him some love so he can continue to fund these tournaments.

• To celebrate my 4 SBD prize for being player of the month in April, I’m giving it all back to you. Come join me this Wednesday night at 7 PM Central for “PLO8 with Hoodish the Great.” Please read and upvote here.

• Our friend and fellow SPL supporter @Generausd is starting an interview series, and will be interviewing different players in the league. Here is his interview with me, Hoodish (@MichaelLuchies) – read here. I actually admit that I am not the best player in the SPL.
