Spoiler Alert – The Internet Spoils Things with Real-Time Information

Posted By : Comb Over-Under November 10th, 2009

As you probably know, the Internet helps spread information at a lightning-fast rate. As a poker blogger, I report on industry news and CarbonPoker announcements. People follow CarbonPoker on Twitter, this blog and Facebook for those results.

Sometimes I’m a little too quick for my own good.

Here’s a Facebook thread that came as a result of my reporting of the WSOP Main Event News from last night: LANGUAGE NSFW or Young Kids

Be Our Fan! CarbonPoker’s Facebook Account Needs You

Posted By : Comb Over-Under September 23rd, 2009

facebookHey everybody.

Just like everybody online (your mom included; she just added me) CarbonPoker has a facebook account.

Complete with a snappy URL, Facebook.com/CarbonPoker is a place fans of CP can get exclusive deals, promos, contests, etc. Meet up with other players, give us feed back. You know how it works.

As I’m writing this, we have 2,975 fans and I want us to hit 3K! As soon as we hit that magic number, I’ll be slinging around $109 coupons like they’re going out of style. On the day that we break 3,000, I’ll award 10 $109 coupons. (Those coupons are good for a spot on any of our famous $50,000 Guaranteed Tourneys).

Don’t wait, just do it.

Other promo: We’re pretty plugged in, so you should follow CarbonPoker on Twitter as well. Again, more deals, more articles and other exclusive deals. Get on it!

Remember those games at your high school fair where they had the massive jars full of jelly beans and you had to guess how many were in it and the closest guess won? Well we’re taking a page out of whoever wrote that book and doing the same thing. However we don’t have a massive jar full of jelly beans…what we do have on the other hand is a massive Bad Beat jackpot.

To introduce our foray into the world of social networking we are holding a competition similar to the jar of jelly beans. On our newly created facebook page – located here, there is a competition where you can try and guess the amount at which the bad beat goes off. If you win, you get credited with $100 into your player account no strings attached. So go to the facebook page and become a fan, (I know you have it! Dont act like your too cool for social networking sites!!!) and have a crack at the Bad Beat Jackpot competition.
