Hellooo North American Poker Tour!

Well, finally. A Tour for us American speaking folks. No more smarmy Brits guffaw-ing their way through our poker broadcasts! Now, how can we get a $5.99 buffet and a lingerie version on the air…..hmmm.

So yes, today in “It has to be true because its on ESPN” news, the North American Poker Tour announced 3 tour stops, the first being PCA, then the Ventian in Vegas and then the Connecticut Mohegan Sun.

Pokerstars also confirms the hostessing duties will be Joanna Kruppa, an that they have a guaranteed “Top Tier” broadcast partner.

When and during which sporting season is still to be determined, but this is a great opportunity to solidify some serious American Poker celebrities. For me, poker tours and TV became popular from the folks that go bonkers for televised darts. So, ya. Also, playing online poker or even casino games in an online casino takes a lot of the hassle away from getting your gambling fix, so if you don’t have the skills or the stones to get on tour…just hang online.
