This July, Carbon Poker is rolling out a new promotion called Quad Pyramid. And this is a pretty simple promo to explain because if you hit quad 5′s on the flop, you’ll be getting a nice bonus.

Interestingly enough, the hand that offers a bonus will change every month at Carbon’s choosing. So this month it’s quad5′s, and next month it could be quad 8′s; just check Carbon to see what hand you need to flop to get the bonus.

As far as the size of the bonus goes, this is based on what level you’re at in the Carbon VIP program. But before we get to this, take note that if you do land quad 5′s, you should take a screenshot of the hand in your hand history, then email the screenshot to Quads@carbonpoker.com.

Now that we’ve covered all of this, here’s a look at how big of prizes people get based on their VIP level:

- Regular members: $5
- Earth level: $10
- Wind level: $15
- Fire level: $20
- Water level: $25
- Ether level: $30

It takes long hours on the tables and pouring over strategy to make lots of money with poker. Of course, you can take a big shortcut to getting rich with poker by playing at Carbon Poker’s Bad Beat tables. Currently, the jackpot is worth $465,489, and it will only continue climbing from here.

As far as the details of the jackpot go, the massive prize will be unlocked if somebody loses with at least quad 7′s or higher to quad 8′s or better. In addition to this, both hole cards must be used from the losing and winning hands, the hand must go to the showdown, and the hand needs to generate at least $0.50 for the jackpot. Here is a list of the full requirements.

Assuming that the Bad Beat Jackpot is unlocked, several people get to share in the prize, and here’s a look at the breakdown:

- 35% to the loser
- 20% to reseeding the jackpot
- 17.5% to the winner
- 17.5% to players who have been dealt into the hand
- 10% to Merge Gaming

With the current Bad Beat Jackpot, the loser would receive $162,921, the winner would earn $81,461, and the other players who were in the hand would split $81,461. If you’re interested in competing for this massive amount of money, just find the Bad Beat tables in Carbon’s lobby and start playing.

If you enjoyed Carbon Money Tree in 2010, or just love winning lots of money in poker, then you’ll be pleased to hear that Carbon Poker’s Super Money Tree promotion is back in 2011. And Super Money Tree has been upgraded, so it’s better than ever before!

Super Money Tree starts in January, and Carbon Poker will track your VIP Points throughout the month. As the name implies, the more points you earn in January, the bigger your money tree will grow. It’s that simple……you just earn VIP Points and Carbon will pay you major money at the end of the month.

To see how much money you’ve accumulated throughout January, check your “player admin” and choose the “activate” button. As soon as you earn 100 VIP Points on any day through cash games, MTT’s, or SNG’s, you’ll be eligible to receive money.

At the end of the month, Carbon will pay you $1 for every 75 VIP Points earned on your top 5 qualifying days in January. However, you can earn additional payouts if you earn 175+ points for 10 days or more, and you can earn payouts for 20 days if you earn 250+ points on this amount of days. In short, there is no limit to the amount of money you can win through this promotion.

One important thing to note is that you need to visit the player admin area and activate Carbon Money Tree before you start cashing in on the bonuses. Of course, this is only a small formality, and you should be earning major cash in no time!
