♠♣♥♦ Poker Today Issue 8 ♠♣♥♦

Coming up in the next couple of days we have two big tournaments. Tomorrow is the Thursday league, VERY EPIC, for some SBD and some bragging rights. This is hosted by the amazing God-Like Hive account@chiefmappster. After that on friday the Pro League on Poker Stars brings on round three of the team competition. With Team Epic (my team of course) currently in the lead. We will see who can bring in the most points and overtake us. This undertaking will be of the utmost importance. I will dedicate my time to study and practice to make sure to show up ready and willing to take home the first place stack. I hope to play like my teammates chief and Hive account@bethalea have been lately and dominate.

Anyways, keep checking #PokerToday and #SPL for more news and updated schedules. Like I mention here there is a steemit contest coming from the creators of Poker Today that everyone can participate in. Put some clean socks on and get that joint ready, its gonna be EPIC!!!

Some EPIC game play coming soon to a Poker Today Paper post near you. Dont forget to pick one up on the corner and upvote to show your support. Check out Hive account@chiefmappster and @SPL for more on the Poker Community
