…or as it is commonly known, the Tuesday Bodonkey. But there’s a neat twist — it really is a series, and the winner of the series gets a $12,000 package to the World Series of Poker. The really cool thing is that it’s an 18-week long series of $10+1 tournaments, meaning, near as I can tell, for a $198 dollar investment, you have a shot at $12,000. I think the smart guys call that an overlay, or something. Here are the details:

How it Works
The Bodog Poker Blogger Tournament Series is composed of a series of 18 qualifying tournaments that run weekly beginning Tuesday, February 5th, 2008 to Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008. The top 30% of finishers in each qualifying tournament will earn points based on their finish. These points will be used to rank players over 4 months of qualifying. At the end of the qualifying series, the top 18 players on the Tournament Leader Board will play in the Final Tournament on Tuesday, June 10th, 2008 with the first place finisher winning a $12,000 WSOP* prize package!

Prizes
Weekly Tournaments
Buy-in: $10 + $1
Prize Pool will be distributed as per Bodog’s standard multi-table payout table. In addition, the top 5 players each week will also win T$109 to be used to buy-in to the $100,000 Guaranteed Tournament held every Sunday at 4:00 PM ET. The top 5 bubble players each week will win a free buy-in to next week’s Weekly Tournament. (T$11 will be credited to these players’ Bodog account within 24 hours after the completion of the tournament)

Final Tournament
Buy-in: $0 + $0 (must finish in the Top 18 on the TLB to be invited)
Grand Prize: $12,000 WSOP* Prize Package with Team Bodog
2nd place: T$540 to be used to buy-in to (2) World Series or Players Choice Semifinal
3rd place: T$379 to be used to buy-in to (1) World Series or Players Choice Semifinal and (1) $100,000 Guaranteed Tournament
4th: T$270 to be used to buy-in to (1) World Series or Players Choice Semifinal
5th: T$109 to be used to buy-in to (1) $100,000 Guaranteed Tournament

Am I missing something somewhere, or did I actually get the math right? Honestly, it seems like a rocking deal.

So, first off, you have to go and register here with your Bodog account to be eligible. After that you find the tournament in the Tournament page (Daily tab), register, then play your little degenerate heart out. Good luck.

Oh, yeah…we missed the first two weeks thanks to stupid on my part. That shouldn’t shut you out, I don’t think.
