Caribbean Stud Pays Out Again!
Posted by CarbonPoker on 5th September 2008

This is ridiculous! …For the second time this year Ureadmnweepagain has won the Caribbean stud jackpot! Earlier this year Ureadmnweepagain won the largest jackpot in Carbon Poker history – over $72,000 cash!

This time Ureadmnweepagain has won in excess of $20,000 of the 20c Caribbean Stud jackpot. To be frankly honest there couldn’t be a more deserving winner – Ureadmnweepagain a common name in our Carbon Poker forums and a regular at many Carbon Poker events, Ureadmnweepagain truly deserves the win.

The jackpot has gone off many times this year, only last week it paid out a percentage to a lucky player who only started paying jackpot bets 4 hands prior to his win! So if your playing Caribbean Stud make sure your opting in for the jackpot as you might miss out on a huge payout!

Congratulations Ureadmnweepagain enjoy your cash!

All of you players are certainly enjoying the increased action and one such notable who is really enjoying the wide range of poker action here at Carbon is one doubleuW.

Bad Beat Odds
Posted by CarbonPoker on 13th August 2008

Just a quick little post on the ever increasing Bad Beat jackpot. Carbon Poker’s quad 7′s or better requirements is one of the lowest in the industry and is currently its sitting just over the $250,000 mark. As the jackpot climbs, the listed Bad Beat tables see more and more action, which means more and more chance of a payout. A bit of trivia – 624 in 2,598,960 or 1 in every 4165 hands are the odds of pulling four of a kind in a hand of Holdem. However for a Bad Beat you must have quad 7′s or better. So the odds thin out a little, to 1:10829. Now for your hand to be badly beaten, someone else must have quad 8′s or better, so the chances are whittled down a tad more along with my ability to calculate such figures without the aid of a supercomputer or ridiculous amounts of caffeine.

However some interesting poker stats and odds that I did manage to find out while looking into Bad Beats -
  • If you have 3 of a kind, you have a 4% chance of turning that set into four of a kind.
  • You also have a 10% chance of turning that set into a full house, given that the turn and river are still to fall.
  • Two pair has a 8% chance of turning into a full house with only the river to come.
  • When chasing a flush, if your holding four of a suit you have a 19% chance of completing your hand.
Best of luck at losing bad.

Summer Champs Staff Event
Posted by CarbonPoker on 27th June 2008

This afternoon saw the most important event in the Summer Champs Calendar.
The Staff Summer Champs No Limit Holdem Event. Why was this the most important? Because I got to play, without having to pay. Cue overwhelming amounts of jealousy now.

The game started out slow, with only the usual inter-office insults keeping things interesting. However, as the afternoon wore on, and the end of the day was near. Things got crazy. Real crazy. Some ridiculous play by one ‘Staffluke’ saw almost every hand in the final table unveil another all in. Chip stacks were swapping hands at an almost stupid pace.

Unlike all of you lucky punters, the first three places won chip sets and some carbon poker merch, not mounds of cash. Congrats Jarad, Liam, and Paulie for taking out the top three places…

Now is the time to lose!
Posted by CarbonPoker on 13th June 2008

If your going to loose a monster hand in poker, now is the time to do it. Carbon Poker Bad Beat Jackpot has hit a colossal $100, 000. Stop scratching your heads in wonderment. You know what this means. It means that if you are holding quad 7’s or higher, you should be praying to the poker gods or who ever it is you pray to, that someone comes in and busts your entire bankroll. Why? Because then you will win the jackpot, and everyone at the table will be showering you with love and other fluids as they also win a fair share. For more on the Bad Beat Jackpot check here

In Summer Champs news, I was lucky enough to catch the entire final table of action today. There were a lot of all in’s, as the field slowly got whittled down. The final draw saw Jazzers1 facing off against Mass175 who re-bought earlier on. An interesting hand witnessed Jazzers1 go bust to Mass175’s trip 4’s. I also happened to notice a subtle rivalry seeming to take place in the closing tables with Jazzers1 shooting off kudos every time yeafishin lost a hand. Lucky you held on longer Jazzers1.

On a related note while table rivalries are a part of the game, and make for interesting play. Just keep them in check. It is still a game and while pissing someone off maybe (definitely is) a little fun, everyone else who picks up on it will most likely think you a $#%^ (lovely person)

Enjoy your winnings guys, you deserve them See you at the tables.
