Ugh ...
Oh, man. I thought I was exhausted last night. Today is much, much worse. Pull the feeding tube. I'm brain-dead.
In fact, I really, really regret promising to put up a post today. Every letter I type is like lugging a cinder block. But that's okay. My readers are important, and they deserve to get some verbiage from me much more frequently than they do.
The first bit of news I have is that I am about a good night's sleep and half a day away from completing a new website I've been working on. No, I haven't been sunbathing all this time that I've been away. I've actually been working on a new site that I think a lot of people will find useful.
The site is a how-to guide to affiliate programs, specifically poker affiliate programs. It includes an introduction and overview to how they work, a fairly detailed comparison of affiliate programs for (so far) 15 different poker sites, and a rather lengthy section on how to promote the programs in order to get the most out of them. Okay, yeah, it's also a shameless way for me to get a bunch of subaffiliates signed up under me, but that's beside the point. The fact of the matter is that this site will be very useful to anyone who has ever considered jumping into the affiliate program world but wasn't sure what was involved, or who has tried and failed. The site I've been working on will answer just about every question you'd ever want to know before deciding whether pursuing such an avenue is right for you. It IS NOT just a page with my various affiliate links. It IS a detailed site with lots of very useful information and some great ideas that I've picked up from experience or have learned through researching others' experiences, which just so happens to also contain links to my affiliate programs.
Other than needing to fill one gaping hole, the site is done, and I'm tempted to throw it up on here in preview form to get some feedback from folks. However, I'm resisting that urge until I actually get everything done. Then I'll put it up here for folks to preview before I set up a separate site.
Oh, I guess I alluded to two bits of news yesterday. The other concerns one of the goals I set for myself this year, which was to become an online prop player. (If you don't know what a prop player is, it's sort of a house player. The player plays with his own money just like always, but is required to help start new games or keep dying games going, which means playing short-handed nearly all of the time. In exchange, the prop player sometimes get paid an hourly or per-hand rate, or more often a refund of all the rake he has contributed.) Well, I'm sorry to say that, due to the agreement I've made, I cannot say whether or not I have been successful in that goal. What I can say is that I'm happier than a pig in shit.
Sorry for the anticlimactic moment there, folks. I really cannot say anything more on the subject.
Switching gears, how would you like to be known as the Poker King? Well, if you've been honing your game, there is a tournament this year that will give that title to someone. More specifically, the title will be "Poker King of the Philippines," and to get in at the beginning you would have to travel to Paranaque, Philippines, this weekend, although there will be many more chances throughout the year. This weekend is the first qualifying leg for the Poker King tournament. It is limited to 60 players and the top three will compete in the championship event sometime in December. There will be other qualifying legs throughout the year. The cost of entry is 1,000 Filippino pesos, which, according to my most recent visit to the Yahoo currency converter, works out to about $18. Yup, $18 for a chance to be known as the Poker King. Win that baby and you could legitimately get that POKRKING personalized license plate you've always wanted. You could honestly type in the chatboxes, "I RULE at poker," followed quickly by a parenthetical "at least in the Philippines."
Hmmm ... that last paragraph may be a clear indicator of exhaustion/sleep deprivation/madness. I honestly don't know what possessed me to write it.
Oh well, it's probably best to cut off now. Hopefully I will be back to my senses when I return.
