Celeb Poker Launches New League

Wednesday March 01, 2006

Celeb Poker is announcing the launch of its all new Poker League this March. Not only fun, these tournaments are affordable and flexible to players' financial limits and time constraints. This is a great way for you to get your hands on prizes, cash and ultimately a seat to the 5 Diamonds Tournament in Las Vegas. There are opportunities to play along side top celebrities battling for this season's prize pool.

The Celeb Poker Poker League is organized into three weekly tournaments at a buy-in of just $10+1. On Sundays there is a fourth tournament with a buy-in of $20+2 and double points to be won. Play in as many tournaments as possible in order to better your odds and point totals for the prizes at the end of the season. All Poker League tournament results will be listed online at Celeb Poker.

As with all sports there is a season for Celeb Poker and that season starts in March! For the first time online you will have a chance to be part of an official poker league that meets to play regularly and has a cumulative point system. The benefits of regular session times are evident. Players know exactly when and at what limits they can play each week. With the Celeb Poker Poker League there is further incentive as players build their chances in accumulating enough points to win additional prizes. For players unable to play all mid-week tournaments, there is the chance to catch up on Sundays, when the buy-in and the available league points are doubled; two sessions in one!

During the league there will be opportunities to play against celebrity players. Celeb Poker has a roster of great celebrity poker players who are involved in regular session play. When a Celeb Poker Poker League player eliminates a celebrity, that player will receive a "head hunter bonus to add to their league total. This will be a truly fun and aggressive way of accumulating further points.

Poker leagues are attractive to players because of the consistent opportunity to progress towards the prize pool even after a loss. It is easy to plan your poker schedule and bankroll your way towards a goal that you can easily keep track of. If you're dealt a bad beat early in the week there is time to make note and come back later in the week for retribution. As players become more familiar with each other and new players try to make their mark, the action becomes very exciting and the tournaments take on a new meaning unto themselves. Online Poker Leagues are the most attractive innovation in online poker this year and Celeb Poker is ensuring it provides the best place to participate in this first season of play.

David Donovan CEO Celeb Poker " the new league is exciting development at Celebpoker, it gives an ideal opportunity for new players to develop their tournament play. The league winner will be well placed for success at the Bellagio".
