The Bernard Lee Open Source Non-Charity Poker Tournament

They’re paying the ante.

Zero Buy-In. Sit and Go. We love these names. On Friday night, July 22, at 9:00 pm EST, Open Source, courtesy of PokerStars.com, is holding a zero buy-in, sit-and-go poker tournament.

Bernard Lee will be playing, and I’ll bet he’s better at poker than you are. (On Thursday, Chris is talking to Bernard on Open Source.) The pot is $100, and PokerStars is paying everyone’s ante.

This is the greatest job in the world.

I am very bad at poker. I’m twitchy, easily bored and not hard to read, traits that have made me equally miserable as a poker player and a lacrosse goalie. But perhaps you’re good at it, just good enough to beat everyone but Bernard and take the second-place $30 prize.

Perhaps you think you can take him.

Here’s what it is

  • @1 hour sit-and-go poker tournament at PokerStars.com with Bernard Lee
  • $100 pot
  • $50 first place, $30 second, $20 third
  • Eight guest players from the Open Source audience

Here’s how you do it

  1. Register or Login to Open Source
  2. Hit the comment thread of this post
  3. Tell us, in four sentences or less, why you need to play poker against Bernard Lee
  4. We’ll choose eight deserving souls. Start praying to your choice of God.

    Hi Brendan,

    Wish I could have participated; I’m actually in West Africa for the next week. I brought along a digital audio recorder with me and I’m getting some fairly good stuff; I spent Wed. afternoon at a Liberian refugee camp, learning about IT training programs and adult literacy initiatives there. I plan to post a compressed MP3 version of some of my interviews there later today, if I can get enough bandwidth to post it. I’m also posting video blogs from here, apparently a first for Ghana.

    ps- I tried emailing this to you but it bounced back. -andy

    I’m new to this site, but have listened to some of your streamed shows.

    I would love you play in this Poker Tournament against a world class player.

    I’ve been addicted to poker since it hit the bigtime (when the NHL went on hold), and I would like to see where my skill level sits with someone like Bernard Lee.

    Maybe if I win some cash, I will start trying to use that to make it to the next WSOP.

    I took great interest in the conversation last night… pure chance (gambling) vs. cognitive perception, weekend-warriors vs. seasoned professionals, gambling away the family jewels vs. “seven-figure” incomes. I would like to help Bernard explore the former of each of these experiences, first hand…
