While Betsandtips.com delves mostly in sports betting (isn’t it obvious?), we’d like to take a break and do something different by hosting a No Limit Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament. Plainly called The Betsandtips.com Cup, this No Limit Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament will be held in cooperation with Full Tilt Poker at the Full Tilt Poker site.

The Betsandtips.com Cup will shuffle up and deal on April 21, 2008 at 7AM (EST), and will feature a buy-in of only $20 + 2 for the rake. So for $22, you will have the opportunity to play poker against other sports betting/poker enthusiasts. Who knows? We might even get the participation of some of Full Tilt Poker’s professional poker players like Phil Gordon, Phil Ivey, Gus Hansen, Jennifer Harman, Howard Lederer, Allen Cunningham, John Juanda and Andy Bloch.

What’s for certain is that The Betsandtips.com Cup should be a lot of fun for a very modest buy-in. Not to mention, bragging rights as The Betsandtips.com Cup Champion.

For those interested in playing at The Betsandtips.com Cup, then just download the Full Tilt Poker software for free, then follow the instructions in making a deposit to load into your account. Once you have the software installed, just look up the tournaments tab, click on the “Private” tournaments and look for Tournament ID 42749938, which is the Betsandtips.com Cup. The password for the tournament is betsandtips.

See you at the poker tables.
