<SPAN class=postbody>Hey, </SPAN>

<SPAN class=postbody>PokerXFactor.com is officially part of the U.S. PokerLeague and will send a team, the NJ XFactors, to the PokerBowl this October. </SPAN>

<SPAN class=postbody>The XFactors team of six will be comprised of the teamowners, pros, and at least one and possibly two PokerXFactor Subscribers. Laterthis month, PXF will announce how subscribers can qualify for the team. I cansay it will be an intensive process (it will not simply be the winner of anupcoming subscriber tournament, for example). </SPAN>

<SPAN class=postbody>I believe anyone who goes through the process will comeout of it a better player. Selected subscribers will be full team members. Finetune your game now because, although we will be looking at life time stats,were going to be focusing on SNGs played over a specific time period thissummer as well. All levels of player will be considered and we'll be looking ata lot more than stats. Expect detailed analysis of your hand histories and muchmore. You do not need to live in New Jersey to be on the team. </SPAN>

<SPAN class=postbody>Twenty-five teams from around the country will compete for$600,000 in prizes (the entry fee into the PokerBowl is $40,000). Playersalready committed to participating on various other teams include: PhilHellmuth, Phil Gordon, Scott Fischman, Phil Laak, Mike Matusow, David Williams,Michael Mizrachi, T.J. Cloutier, Thomas Keller, and, of course, Bax and Sheets.</SPAN>

<SPAN class=postbody>The format is very unique. Three SNG tables will run at thesame time with the two teammates playing at each table. They are allowed (andexpected) to subtly signal each other. Each of the five division winners thenplay for the championship. </SPAN>

<SPAN class=postbody>As you may know, Sheets has his own team the New YorkNits. And Bax is already set to play for him. So its going to be the studentsvs. the masters if and when we meet up. Sheets was very encouraging to us tosetup a PXF team. But when he puts up new SNG videos this summer, just don'ttrust him if he says you should always go all-in on the first hand. :-)</SPAN>

<SPAN class=postbody><SPAN class=postbody>Much more to come! </SPAN>
