Details

Time: 8pm (9pm CET)
Name: Devilfish Bounty – €250 Added
Buy-in: €10
Prizepool: €250 Added
Bounty: €250 to the player who knocks out devilfish

Overview
This is a good €500 added value tournament, with the chance to take out Europe’s biggest pro, Dave “the Devlfish” Ulliot.  If you were planning on playing some poker Thursday night anyways, this is probably the best value online at this time for this buy-in level.

Rating: 4/5

Targeted: mid to low level buy-in tournament players and high roller poker fans.
Value: $5000 in added prize pools.
Chance of a big payday: The winner of sweat tournament of the eventual PLO heads up championship, wins the regular prize pool plus $1500, which is a decent size payday for a $10 investment.
Type of Promotion: Money added tournaments, while sweating your favourite pro.
Take Advantage: YES

Details
Full Tilt Poker is back with another 25K heads up championship, this time in Pot Limit Omaha.  Once the event plays down to the semi-finals, leaving 4 players, sweat tournaments will be set up, where you can play in $10 multi-table tournaments of the pro you think will win the heads up championship.  If your pro goes on to win the heads up tournament and you make the final table in the sweat tournament you win a share of the $5000 in added money as shown below:

1st – $1500
2nd – $1000
3rd – $800
4th – $600
5th – $400
6th – $250
7th – $200
8th – $150
9th – $100

You can only play in one of the remaining pro’s sweat tournaments and cheer them on as you work your way to the final table.  The sweat tournaments will start at 3:30pm EST on Sunday, September 7th.

Overview
I played in the Brian Hastings sweat tournament during the 25K NL hold’em heads up championship and have to say it was fun flipping back and forth between my tournament and Brian’s heads up tournament.  David Singer went on to win that heads up championship, and if memory serves me right, the least number of players joined his sweat tournament, which shows he was looked at as the underdog.  If you enjoy watching pro’s play heads up, and are interested in playing a great value tournament, you should definitely play the sweat tournaments.

Rating: 4/5

Targeted: Low to middle buy-in tournament players
Value: €1266 in added prize pools.
Chance of a big payday: Not really, the biggest buy-in is €10 with €300 added, so unless a lot of people play, first prize will likely be under 1K.
Type of Promotion: Money added tournaments
Take Advantage: YES

Details
1pm EST: €5 freezeout with €100 added
2pm EST: €5 rebuy with €200 added
3pm EST: €6.66 freezeout with €666 added
4pm EST: €10 freezeout with €300 added

Overview
This is a great promotion for everyone.  Added value tournaments are a great way for average players to build their bank rolls.  The €6.66 freezeout basically has 100 players who have already lost before the tournament begins, thats how a money added tournament adds value to the players.  These sinday tournaments are every Sunday at Devilfish Poker and are a great promotion for the middle stake multi-tournament players.

Rating 3.5/5

Targeted: Loyal Titan Poker players (Silver VIP and Above)
Value: More than $30K to be won!
Chance of Big Payday: Yes!  There is $10,500 Sun City Million package and three $4,500 Irish Winterfest packages available to be won.
Type of Promotion: Freeroll seat earned from frequent play.
Take Advantage?  YES

Details
Earn 10,000 points between August 11th and August 20th to gain entry into the $30K guaranteed Olympic Challenge tournament. 
*This tournament is only available to Titan Poker VIP silver and above players.

Overview
This is a great promotion to take advantage of if you are eligible.  If you are a silver player at Titan already, then you won’t need to increase your play too much to reach the requirements of 10K in points.  There likely won’t be a ton of players taking advantage of this promotion, so you have an excellent opportunity to win one of the big prizes like the $10,500 or $4,500 seats to major tournaments!  If you can, make sure you take advantage of the Titan Poker Olympics Challenge promotion.

Rating: 2.5/5

Targeted: Frequent or high stakes players.
Value: Up to a max of $1900’s per player.
Chances of a Big Payday: None – you can earn up to $1900 depending on the amount of Comp Points you earn.
Type of Promotion: Bonuses from frequent play.

Details
The basic idea is that as you reach different levels of comp points throughout the month you will unlock cash that is instantly credited to your Carbon Poker account. 
The first 10 levels are considered “bronze” levels, followed by 10 “silver” levels and 10 “gold” levels.  After you finish the 10 levels of each medal, you earn a larger bonus for moving onto the next level.  If you can play enough to make it to the gold levels, that’s where the real money is.
Here is the full details with the required amount of comp points to attain each level and each bonus:

Each Bronze level requires 5,000 comp points and receives a bonus of $5.  Finishing the bronze level by earning 50,000 comp points earns you an additional $50.
Each Silver level requires 10,000 comp points and receives a bonus of $15.  Finishing the silver level by earning 150,000 comp points earns you an additional $150.
Finally the gold level is where the most money is to be earned.  Each gold level requires 20,000 comp points and earns between $50 and $150.  Finishing the gold level by earning 350,000 comp points earns you an additional $500!

Summary
Carbon Poker does a similar promotion each month to entice players to play frequently in order to attain the bonus dollars.  This month it was just convenient to make it an Olympics promotion (last month it was diamonds promotion).  Any player is able to earn bonuses from this promotion, as 5000 comp points can be achieved fairly easily, but to earn all the money you have to play a ton at high limits.

To put it a bit into perspective you would need to play 4, 667 $10 tournaments to achieve the 350, 000 comp points.  This shows that the gold level status is very hard to achieve and this promotion is mainly meant for the high limit players.  You can earn comp points playing ring games or online casino games at Carbon Poker as well.

Personally, I won’t be taking advantage of this promotion, but if you are planning to play a lot of poker at high limits this month, I’m sure an extra $1900 would be good.  If this is the case, check out Carbon Poker.

The Olympics are starting this Friday and I am starting to get excited.  And if you’ve realized that I don’t mean the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, then give yourself a pat on the back.  What I’m excited for is the DEVILYMPICS!  17 nights, 77 tournaments, and a combined €20, 000 money added!  How can I not be excited. 

The action gets kicked off Friday with the Devilympics opening ceremony (tournament), which is a €1000 freeroll that includes a €250 bounty on the Devilfish himself.

Then there will be 5 events per night for the 15 straight nights of the Devilympics, and each of these events will have €100 added to the pot.  Here is the daily schedule of tournaments in EST time:

€10 Freezeout – 1:30pm EST
€5 Rebuy – 2:30pm EST
€10 Freezeout – 3:30pm EST
€5 Rebuy – 4:30pm EST
€10 Freezeout – 5:30pm EST
****All tournaments have €100 ADDED!

Each final table earns points towards the final leaderboard standings.  The points are as follows:
1st (GOLD) – 10 Points
2nd (SILVER) – 6 Points
3rd (BRONZE) – 4 Points
4th-9th – 1 Point

The top three finishers at the end of the Devilympics earn the following prizes:
1st (GOLD) – €5000
2nd (SILVER) – €3000
3rd (BRONZE) – €2000

My plan for the two weeks of the Olympics is to sit on the couch watching some quality sporting events, while having my computer on my lap playing in an Olympics of my own: the Devilympics!

I love all happy hour promotions. Whether it be cheap drinks at a bar or double and triple your Full Tilt Points. I’d even go as far as to say the latter happy hour is more appealing to me.

At several two-hour intervals throughout the day, Full Tilt hosts various types of happy hours. My favourite is the late night 11pm to 1am anything goes happy hour. This is a normal poker playing time for me anyways, but with the happy hour promotion, I feel like I would be crazy to miss it.

Full Tilt Points can basically be considered rakeback, because they carry monetary value. With your Full Tilt Points you can do anything from buying a stylish Full Tilt cap, winning seats in large tournaments, to even purchasing a Mini Cooper S. To me, these happy hour times just can’t be passed up.

It’s funny, if I’m on Full Tilt playing some NL hold ‘em and then 7pm rolls around, I will immediately get out of all my games, and start playing Limit hold ‘em, because as everyone knows …… Limit hold ‘em happy hour is from 7pm to 9pm daily! Even though it’s not my game of choice, I still feel compelled to take advantage of this promotion.I thoroughly enjoy this Full Tilt happy hour promotion and it looks like it will continue right until the end of the year. To me that means a lot of happy hours playing at Full Tilt. So just keep an eye out for those smiley yellow faces at the following times and you too will get hooked on this promotion.
“Early Morning” – 6am to 8am – All ring games and tournaments
“Ring Game” – 3pm to 5pm – All ring games
“Limit Ring Game” – 7pm to 9pm – Limit ring games
“Late Night” – 11pm to 1 am – Anything goes

*These are the mid-week times. The times change slightly on weekends.
