Denver, CO (PRWEB) June 14, 2011

Outskirts Press, the fastest growing self-publishing and book marketing company, announced today its new Guaranteed Blue Ink Book Review option.

Authors no longer need to purchase extra copies of their books, wrap them up tidily, drive to the post office and then mail them out to reviewers, all at considerable expense, even though they cannot guarantee that a reviewer will ever open the dust cover. Instead, using the new Guaranteed Book Review from Blue Ink option, Outskirts Press authors can sit back and work on their next book while Outskirts Press does all the legwork to place a professional guaranteed book review back into their hands.

“Until now self-published authors ended up playing a kind of publishing Russian roulette when they sent out copies of their books for review,” said Outskirts Press Director of Author Support Kelly Schuknecht. “Now they can use our hassle-free guaranteed book reviews to be guaranteed a credible, honest review of their work by a professional reviewer.”

Authors can use these reviews either to promote their work or to improve their future writing. A positive review, of course, is worth its marketing weight in gold, but even a moderately praiseworthy piece is likely to have one or more quotable phrases that can be used to extol one aspect or another of the book. Because Blue Ink reviewers are known to be candid and objective, even a positive, five word phrase from one of their reviews becomes a powerful promotional tool for authors.

One other great asset from having a Blue Ink review is its inclusion on the Blue Ink website. Librarians and booksellers can use the site to search self-published books by regional or hometown authors so they can find those they’ll want to showcase or stock on their shelves. Agents and publishers can use the Blue Ink site to search sales figures and marketing achievements for self-published books through the “Author Platform” paid ads so they can find new works they would be interested in representing or publishing. Readers themselves can use the site to search the “Notable Reviews” archives so they can find the best new books to read without having to browse laboriously through every new release on a bookstore shelf.

When an author secures the guaranteed Blue Ink book review, Outskirts Press submits two copies of his or her book to Blue Ink for a standard turnaround review. A qualified reviewer is assigned the book and writes a 200-300 word review that is then returned to the author by Outskirts Press within 10-12 weeks. The author then uses the review as he or she sees fit as a prestigious marketing tool.

For a limited time, Outskirts Press published authors can get 10% off a guaranteed book review from Blue Ink with the promotion code BLUE10 at http://outskirtspress.com/authorcenter20.php.

Outskirts Press offers high-quality, full-service self-publishing and book marketing services for writers and professionals who are seeking a cost-effective, fast, and flexible way to publish and distribute their books worldwide while retaining 100% of their rights, 100% of their profits, and 100% of the creative control. http://www.outskirtspress.com.

Charlotte, NC (Vocus) March 17, 2010

Renowned Limit Hold’em poker player Paul “GiantBuddha” Hoppe is staging a one-man, 28-day “Grindathon” to raise money for a variety of charities. The fundraiser, which began today, was announced on the online poker training website Drag The Bar, where Hoppe is an instructor. The event will run through April 12.

Hoppe, who lives in New York City, likened the event to a “walk-a-thon or dance-a-thon, except I’ll be seated for most of it.” Hoppe, 31, has vowed to not leave his apartment complex during the 28-day period, and is asking individuals to pledge a particular amount based on hours played, hands played or PokerStars VIP Points Accumulated (VPP). Pledges can be sent to Hoppe via email at gbgbgaga(at)gmail(dot)com, or via private message at DragTheBar.com. Hoppe will post daily updates of these three totals on DragTheBar.com in the form of a video blog.

Pledges will be capped at 400 hours, 160,000 hands and 250,000 PokerStars VPPs. Hoppe said that that if he so much as leaves his building, or plays fewer than 200 hours, 80,000 hands or 125,000 PokerStars VPPs, he will pay individuals 100 times their original pledge. If he both leaves his building and falls short of those minimum levels, he’ll pay 200 times the pledge.

In addition, DragTheBar.com will give the biggest contributor a free 1-year membership to the site. The second biggest donor will receive a free 6-month membership, and third place will receive a 3-month membership.

Donors can select from what Hoppe calls a “grab bag” of four charities:

    Autism Research
    Cancer Research
    The Poker Players’ Alliance
    A private charity to benefit family friends of Hoppe’s who are raising four children while the father endures treatment for kidney cancer

Hoppe’s father died from cancer 23 years ago. One of the children in the aforementioned family is autistic. In addition to the pledges, Hoppe will donate a portion of his profit from the online poker tables to the charities.

“Poker is not necessarily a job where on the surface you create a lot of value for society,” said Hoppe, who has been a professional player since 2006. “I was thinking around Christmas, that I should be doing more to give back. Then ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ came on TV … well, the ideas started flowing from there.”

Hoppe said he was inspired by Dusty Schmidt, another instructor on DragTheBar.com, who played online poker outdoors in Portland, Ore., this winter to raise awareness and funds for the homeless. Schmidt’s House of Cards charity ultimately generated $ 21,000 — enough to house and feed three homeless people in their own apartments for six months.

“I’m proud that our instructors are so active in their communities and find time to give back,” said Drag The Bar CEO Hunter Bick, who started the company nine months ago. “I’m happy that our coaches are very well-rounded. There aren’t too many professions out there that allow for charitable fundraising while working.”

“For the majority of my waking hours, I’ll be playing poker, playing a little guitar, running on my building’s plaza, and watching the occasional movie,” Hoppe said. “I won’t exactly be pushing the limits of human endurance, but I’ll certainly be pushing the limits of my personal endurance.”

Hoppe will be playing mid-stakes Limit Hold’em exclusively at limits $ 5/$ 10 through $ 30/$ 60. He will play primarily at PokerStars.com under the screen name “Giantbuddha.”

DragTheBar.com boasts affordable memberships and rakeback options at a variety of poker rooms. The site’s poker training videos and poker software are not digital-rights managed (no-DRM) and are compatible with iPods and other MP3 players. Alongside poker, the site also offers backgammon, coached by world champion Bill Robertie.

There is no sign-up fee for joining DragTheBar.com, which has one membership level for all stakes and multiple payment options. The site is presently offering a 7-day free trial to all prospective members.

(PRWEB) February 9, 2008

It may come as news to some, but there is more to the world of poker than Texas Holdem. With online holdem games tightening up and a generation of players who learned holdem in the online boom maturing, many are seeking to spread their wings a little and explore what other poker variants have to offer. Today sees the launch of poker strategy discussion site http://www.chipsinthemiddle.com. Chips in the Middle will focus initially on Omaha poker and on Pot Limit Omaha, in particular.

Omaha is an alternative poker variant, somewhat similar to Texas Holdem in that it is played with five community cards and the easily recognisable flop, turn and river. The defining difference between the two games is that in Omaha, each player is dealt four hole cards instead of two and must combine two of their hole cards with three cards from the board to make the best five card hand. Pot Limit Omaha is a big action game that tends to play much bigger than similar blind level NL holdem games. The four hole card setup in Omaha means that there are many more hand possibilities in play and much bigger hands regularly clashing over pots.

Doyle Brunson famously described Texas Holdem as “the Cadillac of poker games” and in that vein, Pot Limit Omaha has been described as poker’s Rolls Royce. Really though, Pot Limit Omaha is the Ferrari, or the Porsche, or the Formula 1 racing car of poker games. Pot Limit Omaha is the action game. It is fun, technically complex, easily approachable with its similarities to holdem and offers both challenge and earning potential to poker enthusiasts.

Chips in the Middle is a strategy discussion website featuring content on Pot Limit Omaha. Please come and visit us at http://www.chipsinthemiddle.com.

Steve Schirripa-Host of “Face The Ace”

Universal City, CA (PRWEB) April 30, 2009

Continuing its commitment to bring viewers the most entertaining poker shows on television, NBC is announcing a new variation in its already strong poker lineup with the addition of a new show called “Face the Ace.” This show will allow contestants the opportunity to compete against as many as three different top professional poker players on national television for the chance to win $ 1 million. The show will be hosted by Steve Schirripa, a regular on the HBO acclaimed series “The Sopranos.”

“Face the Ace” combines elements of the entertainment found on a game show, the drama of a reality show, and the intense pressure of a player competing in a poker tournament with huge sums of money on the line. Quite simply, there is nothing like it on television, and it should appeal to not only poker fans but to viewers who enjoy putting themselves in the shoes of contestants faced with big decisions for the potential of life-changing money.

To have the opportunity to appear on the show, fans can go to either http://www.facetheace.com or http://www.fulltiltpoker.net and enroll in free qualifying tournaments which are currently running around-the-clock. The first set of winners will be flown to Las Vegas this summer for the taping of seven one-hour shows currently scheduled to begin airing on Saturday, August 1 at 9:00 p.m. EDT, NBC’s first entry into prime time poker programming. The show on August 8 will also appear in this time slot, with the remainder appearing on a yet-to-be-determined time on Saturday afternoons.

If selected to be a participant on the show, the contestant will have to choose between four smoked-glass doors, behind which are four top professional poker players, or the “Aces.” Once one is chosen, the contestant will play that pro in a heads-up no-limit Texas hold’em match. Should the contestant defeat the pro, they will have the opportunity to take the money they have won and leave or risk it all and choose another door and battle a different pro for a significantly larger sum of money.

Should they defeat the second pro, they will again be faced with the decision of taking the money they have won, or foregoing it and choosing a third door and facing off against another top-ranked pro. Successfully defeating three pros in a row will result in the contestant winning $ 1 million. If the contestant loses any of their matches, they go home with nothing.

Contestants must be at least 21 years of age. Complete rules can be found on the Face the Ace website at http://www.facetheace.com/rules.html.

The show is being produced by POKER PROductions, which also produces “Poker After Dark” for NBC. Look for additional details to be released in the near future.

This press release was written by Dennis Oehring, who serves as the Public Relations Coordinator for the firm POKER PROductions.
