It’s time to get warmed up for the Bluff Poker Tour. The BPT, which begins next week, will be hosting the Warm-Up Special this Sunday at PokerHost.com. While this tourney won’t count toward the point standings, there will be extra bounties available to win!

Poker Hall of Famer’s TJ Cloutier and Barbara Enright, Amir Vahedi, Marsha Waggoner, James “KrazyKanuck” Worth, Jennifer “Jennicide” Leigh, Warren Karp, Bluff Publisher Eric Morris, and 1983 WSOP champion Tom McEvoy are all scheduled to play in this kickoff event.

The BPT was originally launched in 2005 and ran though 2006 with overwhelming success. www.picclub.com has made it possible to bring back the successful virtual tour. In order for any player to be eligible they must create an account with www.picclub.com. Once an account has been created players can then deposit and use their funds to transfer money to participating poker rooms.

The BPT is a virtual tour which takes place at many online poker venues who utilize www.picclub.com processing. Each tour stop will be a $10 +$1 buy-in with points being awarded for both finishing position and participation. Tour stops will take place every Thursday evening at 9:15 PM EST. We will also include one Sunday tournament each month as a special bonus event. The Sunday tournament will take place at 8:30PM EST.

There will be at least 4 pros playing in each stop along the way. The list of pros include TJ Cloutier, Amir Vahedi, Kathy Liebert, Jennifer “Jennicide” Leigh, and former WSOP champion, Tom McEvoy among others. Bounties will be placed on all pros. “KO” a pro and earn automatic entry into the TOC at the end of the tour.

The BPT will run from Nov 2, 2008 to May 7, 2009, with the Tournament of Champions being held on May 10th, followed by the heads up battle on May 14, 2009. The overall point’s leader will be exempt from the TOC and automatically receive a seat to the heads up battle to face the winner of the TOC. The heads up battle will be a best of 3 tournament format with the winner being declared the BPT champion. The winner of the heads up battle will receive the grand prize, which is a seat into the Sports Legends Challenge (valued at over $10,000).
