Interesting Promotions and a Billionaire-Gone-Busto
Two quick things:
Interesting Online Poker Promotions
American readers need not bother with this section.
We've worked out some pretty cool deals with online poker rooms through the poker strategy site I run.
1. Lucky Ace is giving away $1,000 to the top 3 players (who created their account through our affiliate link) who earn the most comp points during January and February. This is like easy, easy money for any of you grinders out there since it appears only a small handful of players are vying for this free money.
2. Pacific Poker is holding a $1 buy-in tournament every Saturday for our readers. The top 2 finishers receive a seat to the $140 buy-in Deep Stack event the following day. That's a lot of free high-value seats every month!
3. We're working on some type of tournament-based promotion with Titan Poker. Those interested in this can keep an eye on our online poker promotions page since we always keep that updated with whatever deals we've got brewing with online poker rooms.
Okay that's enough about that. Just wanted to share that with the small handful of non-US readers I have who might be interested in those promotions.
From #3 to the Soup Kitchen
This is a pretty epic downfall. Basically, Sheldon Adelson, owner of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation (who most poker players would know best as the operators of the Venetian), went from being the world's third richest man to having to struggle to make the 2009 Forbes billionaire list.
Ouch!
What makes this epic-funny is that last year he began referring to himself as "Sheldon Adelson the 3rd" to honor his place as the world's third richest man (behind Gates and Buffett). Now that the Las Vegas casino bubble burst, they estimate his net worth at a paltry (yea right!) $1.1 billion, down drastically from the $28 billion of a year ago.
So basically this guy isn't even worth as much as Mark Zuckerberg anymore... lol. And on that note, Mark I'm still waiting to hear back about my idea to monetize Facebook. Let's get you out of those flip-flops!
