Poker Today is a community-centric content series that highlights news, upcoming events, and personalities within the Steem Poker community.
What a season it has been so far. The ups and down. Wins and losses. The all-ins and all-outs. The excitement all starts on the site LuckSacks.com where the players of SPL all come to play SPL and Thursday League. Then the battle continues as the select battle it out on Poker Stars within the Pro Series. Who is dominating the leader boards? Whom are the biggest Donks around?

One big thing about all of these leagues though is that you should make it very clear as to which SteemIt account you are linked to. It is important to keep people from having multiple accounts. This is ultimately cheating at its core.
