You Can’t Lose This Poker Game
Apologies to the few people who contacted me about meeting up during PubCon. It looked like the only day we could all meet up was Thursday night, but now it appears that there is an SEO poker tournament that I will be participating in.
The buy-in is $200, with $50 going to charity, $40 going to the poker room, and the other $110 will be added to the pot and split amongst the winner(s).
Here’s why you should sign up, even if you’ve never played poker before:
1. Support some great charities
The $50 goes to several different charities, including firefighters who were injured fighting the San Diego fires and the Lost Boys of Sudan.
2. Networking
What’s in it for you? Well, how about the opportunity to sit down with some of the most prolific names in internet marketing? Even if you fold every hand you should be able to hang around for at least an hour. If you don’t learn $200 worth of information during the game you aren’t paying attention.
3. Free link!
You get a link from Purposeinc.com, which is gaining authority quickly. See here, here, and here for examples.
4. Free drinks!
Free drinks aren’t hard to come by in Vegas, but it’s still nice. I recommend RedBull, especially for my fellow East Coasters (the tournament doesn’t start until midnight ET!).
5. Free T-shirt!
You may not be able to get into Rain with this shirt on, but it might get you some attention on Friday during the networking session.
6. You might win
Poker takes more skill than other casino games, but if you get the right cards at the right time you can’t lose. I’m willing to bet the winner will get some link love as well as a stack of cash.
So, remind me again: why aren’t you signed up yet?
