CarbonPoker Blogger Tourney Results and Wrapup
Posted by CarbonPoker on 16th July 2009

cousins of ron mexicoThanks to everyone who came out for the CarbonPoker Blogger Tourney yesterday. We had an active chat, some decent poker play, and (as expected) PUNTE from WithLeather busted out first. Check out the site for the prop-bet-decided unicorns that will be popping up throughout the day.

For those of you who missed it, you can check out the Live Chat of the Event and re-live Cousins of Ron Mexico’s win, my respectable 2nd place showing, and AwfulAnnouncing’s aggro play.

I’m expecting a flood of questions about how to get in on the next event, SO, here it is:

We’re going to be regularly hosting blogger tourneys from here on out. They’re going to be bigger, better and have much larger fields. This was the trial run and we’ve figured out some ways to make it better.

If you want in, keep watching the blog and CarbonPoker on Twitter for further announcements. To get in, you need to be a contributor to a legit blog. Hit up the comments section or Twitter with your blog’s URL

For all you poker bloggers out there, get ready, because we’re rolling out something massive in the coming weeks that I’m pretty sure you’ll love.

Video of Bad Beat Jackpot Paying Out
Posted by CarbonPoker on 24th June 2009

We all remember when the CarbonPoker Bad Beat Jackpot paid out recently. Below I’ve embedded the clip of the action. See what it looks like when Quad 7′s loses to Quad 9′s and the Bad Beat Jackpot cashes out for over $734,000.

Congrats again to Ween10 for the monster jackpot, and to all the other players for being part of the action.

CarbonPoker’s Bad Beat Jackpot Keeps Climbing
Posted by CarbonPoker on 9th June 2009

badbeatjackpotAfter already breaking the Bad Beat Jackpot world record earlier this year with almost $1,200,000 for the beat (paying out $417,396 to one New York student), CarbonPoker’s healthiest Jackpot is on the move again.

At close to ¾ of a million bucks, the BBJ is getting heavy and starting to bulge at the seams. At the time of writing this, the jackpot was sitting at $728,036.82. Whoa.

How it Pays Out
If you’re playing on a Bad Beat table at CarbonPoker and lose with a hand of Quad 7’s or better, the Jackpot goes off.

Chips will literally be falling from the ceiling of the poker client.

Breakdown of Payment Structure

  • 35% to the Happy “Loser”
  • 20% to Reseeding the Jackpot (we’ve got to keep it going!)
  • 17.5% to the Still Happy “Winner” (the guy who beat your quads, or got a higher straight flush, etc)
  • 17.5% to Other Very Happy Players (must be deal in, not sitting out)
  • 10% to Merge Gaming

Now, I’m not an advocate of hoping-to-lose, but for this it really seems worthwhile. Next time you’re coming into a showdown with an absolute monster, you just might be hoping to see something better.
