CPL Poker Podcast added to Minnesota Poker Magazine Blogger Stable

After intense negotiations - okay, they liked what they saw and asked and we liked what we saw and agreed - your own CPL Poker Podcast was added to the stable of bloggers at Minnesota Poker Magazine.  Here's a screen shot of our page over there:

MN Poker Mag now sports a dozen bloggers including Vegas pro Roy Winston and 11 Minnesota-based folks.  We'll be posting some unique content there in addition to continuing our posts here.  Of course, this'll be a far better place to access the podcast but be sure to check out the MN Poker Mag pages too!!

2010 is looking very good so far - thanks for reading and listening!!!

Breaking News - Minnesota "Poker Player of the Year" created for 2010

The new podcast is out (media player on the left) and we interviewed Phil Mackey, co-founder of both the Minnesota State Poker Tour and Minnesota Poker Magazine.

Phil was very forthcoming in our interview. One item in particular is of note. He "was going to save this for the December issue of Minnesota Poker Magazine," but decided to break the news with your own CPL Poker Podcast that they have created a Minnesota State Poker Player of the Year Competition.

The POY points begin on January 1, 2010. More than 500 poker tournaments have been identified across the state as POY eligible tournaments including the 6 bracelet events that make up the MN State Poker Tour. It is believed that this will be the first time there has ever been a statewide Player of the Year chase in Minnesota.

Says Mackey about the POY chase, "We owe it to players (in Minnesota). Let's find out who the best player is." He mentions such MN heavyweights as, 3 Putts, Brad Berman, and Jeremy Dresch as examples of potential winners.
