Who's Coming?
Got questions? Something you need to know? Follow me on Twitter at @fleung22 and shoot me a tweet.
For this piece I'm taking a page from PokerStars blogger Rick Dacey who wrote the article, "Get yourself followed, aka 'Why we're now railing Grayson Ramage" during PCA 2014.
While there are players who love to be left alone, there are lots of others who need to see their names and photographs at the PokerStars Blog.
Why not? After all, you're playing within the world's gaming capital for some big time prizes!
The problem? Unlike, say, a basketball game where you commonly have a 2-man team covering ten players at the court, an immense poker tournament has two bloggers looking to follow the action of hundreds of players.
You need to be followed? Here's how.
1. Team PokerStars
Representing the world's biggest poker company means you'll surely get some love at the PokerStars Blog. Chances are, you've proven yourself with great live or online results to be honored with the coveted Red Spade and you are the more or less player who is going to move deep in tournaments with regularity.
2. Champions & APOY
I wouldn't go as far as to name our bloggers 'all knowing' but they're indeed worldly people and if you've won an important tournament at the EPT, LAPT, PCA -- or a global Champ - then we're probably going to maintain a watch on you and discover if you happen to can do it again. We're in Macau so if you are a top ranked player at the Asia Player of the Year leaderboard or include wins at the PokerStars Asia circuit then we're guaranteed to know you.
3. Big Stack
There's nothing like a huge mound of chips to get the eye of a beat writer. Even better? End the day with the biggest stack and there is no way you will be missed.
4. Go Deep!
Once the sector has thinned and we head towards the overall stretch of the tournament we'll attempt to work out who's who and what their story is. Using the basketball analogy again, it's in regards to the guys at the court and never within the stands. The truth that there's only a handful of hopefuls left means you're sure to hit our radar.
5. Use the Twitter hashtag #2014ACOP
If you fail to qualify for one of the most above or even we just haven't made it to the far corners of the poker site yet - hey, we're just human - then we'd like to hear from you on Twitter. But you should use the proper hashtag for that to happen and to that end it's appropriately #2014ACOP
The 2014 Asia Championship of Poker is hosted by 'PokerStars LIVE Macau' and runs from October 24 to November 9. For more info please visit www.PokerStarsLIVEMacau.com
