Are you ready for some POKER?
Black Chip Poker, that is!
The Very Josie is back. What? You don't know what The Very Josie is? Child, you've been missing out! The Very Josie is my private poker tournament. It used to run on Full Tilt Poker but Mama has moved houses and you can now find it on Black Chip Poker!
The Very Josie is a No Limit Texas Holdem Knockout Bounty MTT. It costs $10+fee to play. $8 goes to the prize pool and $2 is the knockout bounty you'll receive for every person you knock out. Sounds fun, right? It will run once per month on the first Monday of every month. That is the rule - The Very Josie is on the first Monday, get it? However, as you might've heard, there's an exception to every rule. For this first month...the month of February, The Very Josie will be on Monday, February 13th. (fuck ya, yes I know the 13th is the 2nd Monday, but I missed the first Monday and didn't want to wait a whole month, mkay?)
So there you go.
The first Very Josie on Black Chip Poker is next Monday, Feb 13th at 10pm Eastern (Boston) time.
It is a helluva good time. The laughs, the jokes, the fights, the swearing <----not moi! and of course, the knocking people out. Let's not forget the special attention you'll get from me should you knock me out. OMFG Don't you dare! lol
If playing poker with me wasn't incentive enough to play (and it sure as shit should be) Black Chip Poker is offering the following BONUS CODE to players who deposit the first time:
Use the Bonus Code VERYJOSIE750 when you deposit and you'll get 150% match to your deposit, up to $750. You do have to earn points to release your bonus.
The deposit bonus works like this – players need to rake and earn vip points for every 75 vip points earned they’ll clear $1 of rake. Each time they accrue $5 worth of bonus it will drop into their account automatically. This will continue to happen until they receive the bonus in entirety or until it expires after 90 days.
Now if you've already deposited on BCP but need to reload, you can use Bonus Code BCP375. This code will get you 75% match up to $375 dollars....which is better than a poke in the eye. Right? :)
Hmmm what else do you need to know? As this is a private tournament you'll need a password to get in. I tried to use Josieistheprettiestgirliknowandiwanttogiveherallmymoney but they wouldn't take it, so i had to go with the following:
Password is pokerbaby.
So remember....keep next Monday night open for some poker baby. It'll be the most fun you can get for $11. You should know that I'll use everything at my disposal to beat you (EVERYTHING) and that includes the chat box. Heh. It can get heated. I'll have to figure out a creative way to swear like a sailor. :)
Oh and if you haven't already downloaded Black Chip Poker, I suggest you get your ass in gear!
Still reading? Excellent! There's one more bit of news to share. As I said, the VJ is only once a month and it's NLHE. Someone told me once a month wasn't enough Very Josie for him. If I get a good turn out for The Very Josie, I'll be setting up a sister tournament on BCP which will be an Omaha8 high low thingy. Can I play this well? No! But I find it to be a lot of fun....so you will have 2 tourneys to choose from! And since I won't be playing alone (at least not during the game) let me know which night works for you....majority rules. As The Very Josie is on Mondays, I was thinking Wednesday for the un-named tourney but as I said, please tell me which day works best for you. Again, this second tourament won't be making its debut just yet.
Also, I need a name for the Omaha8 MTT....any ideas?
The Very Schmosie?
Omaha Jo?
Josie Does Omaha?
Bitching and Moaning?
OMFG It's Omaha?
Omaha Mama? <---not terrible!
See? I can't think of a fucking clever name to save my life. Please help me. Please. I like clever. I fucking need clever and I obv cannot find it.
Now that my BCP commerical is over, did I tell you I hit on a superbowl square? I did. Plus I won in the mixed game after the tourney on Saturday night....and a bit on Superbowl Sunday. I was counting out all this cash that I had stuffed in my purse this morning and thought "Oh yeah, I was so bummed out about the Patriots that I forgot I won". As the final seconds of the Pats game ticked down, along with my broken heart, I realized that if the Pats didn't score, I would hit my superbowl square for the final score of the game.
OMFG - God does indeed have a sense of humor.
As soon as that thought crossed my mind I was horrified! My next thought was "Noooooo....I don't want to win! I want the Pats to win! Please!!!!"
Well if the Patriots had to lose anyway, I may as well have won a buyin or two, right? :)
Play smart, especially if you're up against me.
Josie

Boo...
Has anybody been able to successfully withdraw from Black Chip? No offense, but I was burned by Cake Poker.
I have a whole week to work on you, and I have my ways. *evil grin*
I have confirmed that withdrawals are possible but take 6-8 weeks. I'd sell it on 2+2 where you get 85 cents to 90 cents on the dollar and it's completely legit.
Of course you have to win first. :P
By "older" I mean amazing but slightly wrinkly around the eyes. Something my son LOVES to point out to me.
However, 10pm is 3am London time ... but I'm gonna do it anyway.
See what a good guy I am?
I've been waiting for an excuse to deposit on BCP anyway ... hoping they have electronic payout for European players.

"(After all, you can't distract me with cleavage in chat ... I don't think)" WRONG!!! I am incredibly distracting in chat...you'll see! :)
So will you be distracting men with "virtual cleavage" during the tournament? Come to think of it, there's that pic of you on Tony's blog.....
Vegas DWP....when I see DWP I think "Department of Water & Power"! What's a guy from the Vegas DWP doing in London? Hmm, maybe the DWP stands for "Done With Poker"?
Gary, Jomaha - I get it and I like it! You've set the bar.
TY JT!!! If you like Omaha, I will make the start time of that earlier.
As far as AC and road trip and all that, I just found out that southwest doesn't fly from boston to philly anymore! *gasp* I dont think i can go! *sob*
O8 should be played at limit, Omaha at pot. You're looking at a quick tourney if you play PLO8
any idea how many runners/blind levels = how long may last (coz obv josie and Fboy will make it hu weeee)
xd
@wolfie, yes it DOES suck.
@Zin, That's a good one!
@fboy...you're british??? Do tell! I'll make it to heads up and we'll see about you. So sorry it's so late/early for you, but PLEASE play - you're young, you can take it. :) I'm guessing 2 tables....with a lot of luck maybe 3. 3,000 in starting chips and standard other thingys, and it's starts at 25/50. I'm guessing 2 hours ish. Go to bed early!!!!!
Ship it!
