BLUFF Magazine Readers Choice Awards

Favorite Player of 2009 Nominee Daniel Negreanu.

If you’re a reader of BLUFF Magazine, there’s some news you might be interested in. No, they haven’t decided to start doing a swimsuit issue (which, given the average physique of us poker players, isn’t such a bad thing) but they did just release the nominees for their annual Readers Choice Awards. Besides the usual categories, they’ve added a couple new ones that are kinda fun.

Favorite player of 2009 nominees include: Phil Ivey, Jason Mercier, Daniel Negreanu and Bertrand Grospellier. You can also vote for your favorite TV poker show, Vegas poker room, poker twitterer and 2009 Favorite Poker Villain. Nominees for that esteemed category include Phil Helmuth, Mike Matusow, Mark Vos and Luke “__FullFlush1__” Schwartz.

And yes, there’s a category for Favorite Online Poker Site, and yes, Cake Poker is a nominee. Interestingly, Joe Cada doesn’t appear as a nominee in any category. I guess they didn’t have room for the category “Favorite Guy Who Won $8.5 million at an Age When I Was Making $6.50 an Hour as a Bus Boy”.

Voting is open right now, and you can take part by clicking here. The polls close on Friday, January 8th at midnight. Winners will be announced on BluffMagazine.com on January 28th and in the February issue of the print magazine.
