Comment of the Week – Get Going!

Posted By : CarbonPoker September 28th, 2009

photo-commentThere are a few things that I love:

  • flopping the nuts
  • an after-work beer
  • Blog Comments

I’m happy to get any of those. But the one that’s going to get YOU PAID is the third one. For the next week, I’ll be checking out each and every comment that goes up on the blog and looking for the best and brightest.

If you’re familiar with the blog, you know the drill. My favorite comment of the week (up until 23:59 Sunday the 4th of October) will receive a $109 Coupon.

You can take that coupon and enter a Guaranteed $50,000 Tournament on Sunday. Turning our biggest tourney of the week into your own personal freeroll? I thought you’d like something like that.

Get rolling! Comment on any post through the blog to become eligible. Be sure to leave your CarbonPoker nickname so I know who you are!

Comment Of the Week Winner

Posted By : CarbonPoker July 27th, 2009

photo-commentThat was nearly a record number of comments this week!

I really had my work cut out for me. I read each and every comment that hit the walls on our articles.

As usual, there were some great ones. But I picked just one:

“There are three testaments of poker everyone should know:

1. Don’t ask a dealer what the odds are on strip poker
2. When playing Caribbean poker, don’t play with a fake Jamaican accent
3. Never butt into a private poker game and ask “mind if I join in?” ”

Really – it was #2 that sealed the deal for me.

Congrats to RaitisValodze for the $109 Coupon win. Your account is going to be credited today!

As for this week, you’ve got another 7 days to wow me with your comments! Next week’s winner will get a $1o9 coupon as well.

Good luck!

Lie To Me #2

Posted By : CarbonPoker April 28th, 2009

And the winner of the contest in the last was is itakedonations – I have gladly donated you $10 and here was the winning reply.

Lie To Me is an awesome show. Someone with the ability to read people at a poker table like the abilities portrayed in the show would be master in the poker world but, as any experienced poker player will tell you, most tells at the poker table can be horribly unreliable. A good poker player will be away of the common tells and will use these to their advantage to manipulate their opponent.

Not all tells are as unreliable as the well known common tells. One of the things I look for at a table is habits that expressed over several hands that you can be for sure your opponent is unknowingly or subconsciously doing. One thing that a lot of players unknowingly do is glancing at their chip stack as soon as the thought to bet crosses their mind. This is an extremely reliable tell because most people don’t even know that they do it.

Say for instance a player is holding a low-to-moderate pocket pair and the flop comes out and they hit their set. They will immediately look down at their chips, in turn revealing the strength of their hand and letting you know to stay away. Knowing that this player will glance at his chips when he has intentions of betting you can assume that when this player misses the flop they will avoid looking at their chips. That being known the pot is yours for the taking…

I hope this useful to you all in your future games.
