So if you are looking for some more cool gifts for Christmas, PKR may have your answer.  I would only suggest playing in these tournaments if you were already planning to play some poker that day as the tournaments are not that great value, with only first place winning an extra prize.  However, if you do manage to outlast the field, you can take home some pretty sweet gifts.

If you don’t have a PKR account yet, be sure to get the top PKR bonus code around when making your initial deposit. At least download PKR and try out the software, you will be sold!

Using Online Poker Promotions to your Advantage

Uncategorized No Responses »
Dec 182008

Poker promotions are a great way to continue to build your bankroll after you have exhausted the initial deposit bonuses for the majority of the reputable online poker rooms. 

After you have used all the additional money the poker rooms gave you to try out their rooms, you have to look for other ways to gain an edge.  These can include rakeback, freerolls (such as the country freerolls at Full Tilt), overlay tournaments AND online poker room promotions.  Many promotions offered by poker rooms give money and prizes back to the players. 

For example, the Doyle’s Room bounty promotion gives players a free entry into their first bounty tournament, which is a value of $27.50.  On top of this players can earn extra bounty money from knocking out Doyle or his friends.  This all turns into additional cash being added to the tournament.

Another example would be Carbon Poker’s monthly rake race promotions, which are always the exact same with different themes, which kind of annoys me, but they are still giving cash back to the player.  Or even Full Tilt’s happy hour.  Full Tilt Points are basically cash because they can buy you into tournaments or purchase you Full Tilt merchandise. 

Poker series’ held by rooms almost always have extra prizes or a winners freeroll that gives back to the players.  For example the Cake Poker Reindeer Games promotion has added prizes for every tournament, such as 5 seats added to the $250K guaranteed, $5000 added to the prize pool, etc, not to mention the $20K Reindeer Games finals which the top 9 finishers from each event earn entry to. 

As you can see poker promotions are a great way to build your bankroll, because you can actually be at an advantage to the house.  Any time a poker room offers a promotion such as a money added tournament, a rebate or special bounties, you should try to take advantage of these offers, rather than just play regular tournaments where the poker room earns 10% of your buy-in.

A smart strategy would be to look at our bonuses page.  Try to clear all these bonuses while building your bankroll, which will give you a lot of additional poker funds.  Start by playing at the poker rooms that give you the best poker bonus and work your way down through the remaining poker rooms bonuses.  Then come back and stay on the look out for new poker promotions that are coming up, that put the advantage back in your hands.  It’s all about continuing to build your bankroll by gaining an edge any way you can!!

Doyle's Den Promotion

Dec 092008

Doyle’s Room has recently jumped on the Happy Hour type promotion started by Full Tilt, where players can earn more Loyalty Points (aka Frequent Player points) by playing at a certain time or on certain tables. 

At DoylesRoom if you play on the Doyle’s Den tables, which are listed in green under the cash tables, you receive an additional 30% more loyalty points than at a regular table.  These tables are not visible to other players who play on the iPoker network through other sites, only DoylesRoom players can see these tables. 

The Doyle’s Den tables are the exact same as other tables, except for the increased Loyalty Points earnings.  An increase in Loyalty Points is great for the players, as this means, faster bonus clearing and more points which can be used to buy-in to DoylesRoom tournaments or converted into cash through the “Points for Cash” program at DoylesRoom.

Full Tilt Poker Holiday $100K

Full Tilt Poker Promotions No Responses »
Dec 042008

On December 27th at 3:15pm EST Full Tilt poker is hosting the Holiday $100K.  This is a tournament that gives all players a chance to turn their Full Tilt points into a share of $100K! 

The buy-in for the tournament is 2000 FTP and there will be many satellite tournaments running from now up until the 27th where players can satellite into the event for as little as 50 FTP.  I know this is the path I’m going to try to take, with my FTP total dwindled down after some recent Full Tilt clothing purchases you will possibly be able to find me in a 500 point satellite looking to play in this great value tournament 2 days after Christmas.

Just to add some perspective, a Full Tilt poker hat costs 4000 FTP points, so to play in a $100K guaranteed tournament is only costing about half of a hat.  To me, this is a hard decision, but that’s only because I desperately need a new hat.  But to most people this is an easy decision.  Go for the cash!

On the other hand, there is already 4500 or so entrants, with a max of 7000, so I have a feeling that this tournament will max out soon.  This means if you want to register you should do so very soon.  It also means that the 2000 points are worth roughly $14.  Now this makes the hat vs tournament decision a little bit harder, because $28 for a hat isn’t that bad.

So now I’m back to the question.  Hat or tournament?  Only because I have only 500 FTP I’m choosing satellite into tournament.  If I had 4000 points I would choose hat, but that’s just me.  The choice is yours and if you decide to play in the Holiday $100K at Full Tilt, I wish you good luck!

***If you are a new player to Full Tilt, make sure to use Full Tilt referral code THEFULLTILT during signup to ensure you receive up to a $600 bonus on your first deposit.

Chance of big payday: There is over $50K guaranteed throughout the series.
Type of Promotion: Poker series with each tournament having an added prize or added cash.
Take Advantage: Definitely.  This is like Full Tilt’s FTOPS combined with added value tournaments, you get the best of both worlds.

Schedule

Play in any of these tournaments at Cake Poker.

Reindeer Games Final
The top nine from each reindeer games tournament will also receive a seat in the Reindeer Final.  This tournament will offer a $5000 grand prize and a prize pool of $20K total.  So with 10 reindeer games tournaments, that means the finals will be a $20K tournament with only 90 entrants.  That equals out to a $222 buy-in per person, if it was a buy-in tournament.

If you are thinking of signing up as a new player at Cake Poker, you should remember to find a Cake Poker Sign Up Code.  **Also for anyone looking to check out another poker blog I found this one today that is pretty solid.
