Season Three of the Kick Ass Poker Online League Starts Sep. 20

Yes, it's just like "24" --- seasons in poker leagues don't have to be a once-a-year thing. So it holds with the upcoming third season of Kick Ass Poker's online poker league, which continues its tour of sponsoring league sites by moving over to Mansion Poker for the fall's fun.

Are you going to join the fun? Check the links, see what's in store... you'll find that in addition to the usual cash prizes, Mansion is tossing in a number of juicy bonuses that make this one a shouldn't-miss event.

The entry fees for each of the weekly events are modest, and the fields are comfortably small; you'll get to meet several decent-'n'-dedicated Atlanta-area players, a handful of outside (but always welcome) interlopers, and at least one roving donkey with previous Poker Dome experience. And yes, seats to one of the Poker Dome online qualifiers are among the nice bonus prizes available here.

So whaddya need to do? Well, if you don't have a Mansion Poker account, that'd be a good first step. I do believe that the KAP brain trust has teamed up with Mansion to offer one of the best sign-up bonuses found anywhere for the site, and, well, let's just say that if you're going to play, you might as well force yourself to accept a few bonus dollars for your troubles. Or more than a few. It's up to you to decide.

After that, just sneak on over to the KAP Online League registration form, which allows the password to be mailed to you for each of the weekly events, fill it out --- it's very short --- and do the happy-click thing to send it in. The league is open to everyone, but you do have to register.

After that, it's on to the easiest part of all: taking my money and winning the accolades of your fellow KAP Online Leaguers. (The two, of course, are intertwined.) I'll see you there, but only if you're quick... my chips won't last long.
