Carbon Blogger Tourney Set for Next Week
Posted by CarbonPoker on 8th July 2009

bloggersAs a blogger, I spend most of my day fending off girls, benefiting my company, cruising around on the internet and looking at sites that I like. After hitting the comment boards, nagging on email and getting more “friends” on Twitter, I put together a roster of some of my favorite blogs from around the net for CarbonPoker’s inaugural Blogger Poker Tourney (better name coming soon; I swear).

Bloggers are never that far from their computers, so scheduling it wasn’t a real issue. We just let it settle on the night that all of us had the least social engagements…a guy can’t watch old VHS tapes of the 1978 WSOP every night, can he?

Next Wednesday 15, 2009 we’re hitting the felts for blog supremacy and a $500 prizepool.

The Lineup:

PUNTE – WithLeather.uproxx.com
Brandon Moskal – UnmotivatedRamblings.blogspot.com
Don – DonChavez.com
AwfulAnnouncing.com
Tas – TheBasketballJones.net
Chris – PyleOflLst.com
Me – CarbonPoker.com/blog

Watch for guest posts from these fine gentlemen and spectacularly donk-tastic play next Wednesday night.

Have any picks for who’s going to win? (me) Who’s going to bust out first out first? (probably Chris). Who will be the drunkest? (PUNTE — that one’s a lock).

Check back often as we get rolling on this. This is going to be the first of many. Also – if you’ve got a blog that you think is worthy of a spot in our next event, hit up the comments or let me know on @carbonpoker on Twitter.

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

Father’s Day is Coming – Play Heads Up Against Your Old Man
Posted by CarbonPoker on 19th June 2009
This would be better with poker

This would be better with poker

This Sunday is that special day that you give a little bit back to your Pops. But, do you have an original Father’s Day plan?

Don’t make Dad get out of his favorite house coat to hit the golf course, or put on a button down to go with that great new tie – just meet him online at CarbonPoker for a little heads up action.

So what happens if your old man doesn’t have a CarbonPoker account and you do? Use our refer a friend program, get the bonus, and play him heads up for an additional $50 out of our pocket. Here’s the Refer a Friend details.

Basically, every time you refer a friend to CarbonPoker and they deposit, you’ll receive $25 into your account and a SitnGo Heads Up $50 tournament for the two of you.

Seriously, this is way better than a game of catch.

Don’t Forget the Comment of the Week Content
Posted by CarbonPoker on 18th June 2009
carbonpoker-comment

It puts the comment in the box, or else it gets the hose again.

The week is winding down at CarbonPoker — and time is running out for our Comment of the Week contest.

All you need to do is go ahead and comment on any live article on the CarbonPoker blog.

The best entry (as judged by me) is going to be the proud recipient of a $109 Coupon, good for the $50,000 Guaranteed Sunday tournament.

I’m looking for good poker analysis, jokes, or whatever’s looking to shoot out of your brain.

Never commented before? Don’t be shy, comment-virgins! You don’t need to sign up for anything. Just be sure to include your CarbonPoker username with your genius-quality comment.

This is your chance to shoot your mouth off. Take advantage.
