Nov 5th Thanksgiving Jackpot Update

Posted By : Comb Over-Under November 5th, 2009

carbonpokerpicKeep stuffing that Turkey.

The CarbonPoker Thanksgiving jackpot has grown by over $1000 in the last 24 hours. You guys are rabid!

As of 13:06:24 Server Time on November 5, 2009 (that’s official!), the Jackpot is weighing in at $7,289.25. And that’s pre-cooked.

You guys still have 3.5 weeks to baste that into a pretty insane prizepool for the heads up leaderboard championship. Remember, you need to finish in the top 128 to get a spot and try for the payout.

Here’s the breakdown of how you get points:

1c of entry fee = 1 leaderboard point

Buy-in Total LB Points Points for 1st Points for 2nd
$2 + 20c 40 28 12
$5 + 50c 100 70 30
$10 + $1 200 140 60
$25 + $2.50 500 350 150
$50 + $5 1000 700 300

And just so you know, you’re still not late to the party. There is plenty of time to crack the upper echelon of the leaderboard. Get grinding, turkeys.

Updated Turkey Grand Slam Jackpot is Over $6K

Posted By : CarbonPoker November 4th, 2009

6K Turkey CashWe are only four days into the Turkey Grand Slam and the jackpot is growing like crazy.

The good people at CarbonPoker seeded the jackpot with $2,500 and you players have jacked it up to over $6K already. If that’s not enough motivation to work your way up the leader board, I’m not sure you should even keep reading this.

As I told you before, half of each Turkey Jackpot SnG gets thrown into the Final Tourney Jackpot. The top 128 players on the Thanksgiving leader board will face off in a unique starting stack heads up bracket tourney (say that 3 times fast) at the end of the promotion.

Track the Thanksgiving Leader Board here to see how far you need to go to increase your stack. If the first four days are any indication, there will be a lot to play for at the end of the month.

Current Leaders:

  1. sliekas
  2. mazokie
  3. LTUFlawless
  4. Edener2012
  5. Smaggie
  6. vader46
  7. freeroller4
  8. 27imod
  9. mart1129
  10. racer13

How the CarbonPoker Bad Beat Jackpot Works

Posted By : Comb Over-Under October 28th, 2009

bad beat payout

CarbonPoker’s Bad Beat Jackpot is one of my favorite promos. It’s just a nice bonus to keep in the back of your mind when you’re playing at one of our designated BBJ Tables.

As you’ve seen lately, we’ve been spitting out Bad Beat Jackpots like watermelon seeds at the hillbilly olympics, so I thought I’d let you know about how the payouts work.

Basically, you play Hold’em as usual until something amazing happens. Simple, no? If you’re on one of our BBJ tables and a Quad 7 or BETTER is beaten, then the jackpot goes off — this is the lowest qualifier online. As seen in the image above, here is the payout structure:

  • 35% to the loser of the hand
  • 17.5% to the winner of the hand
  • 17.5% to other players in the hand (that means no sitting out and getting paid!)
  • 20% to reseeding the jackpot
  • 10% to Merge Gaming

If you’re playing at a non-BBJ table and your quad Kings gets pwnd by a Royal Flush, you’re out of luck, but stick to the BBJs for increased action.

Another Day, Another Bad Beat Jackpot

Posted By : Comb Over-Under October 27th, 2009

carbonpokerpicThe CarbonPoker Bad Beat Jackpot as once again paid out! This is the third time in 1 month.

We know with the lowest qualifier online (Quad 7s or better losing), our Jackpot would be more frequent, but lately the RNGs have been dealing up bad beats at a frantic pace.

Just this morning, starterkit’s Queen High Straigh Flush bested GLADIATOR8791’s Quad 8s in a hand with a $23 pot on one of our Bad Beat Jackpot Tables. You know the rest.

$42,633.32 was awarded to GLADIATOR8791 and starterkit’s bankroll was padded with an additional $21,316.66. A slice of $3,045.23 was handed out to the remaining 7 players at the table — proving once again that losing can be profitable. CarbonPoker is the home of Bad Beats lately.

Because the Jackpots have gone off so often lately, these guys weren’t close to our $1.2Million Bad Beat Jackpot payout, but I’m sure they’ll still take it.

As usual, the Jackpot has been reseeded and is already growing. Check it out on the Homepage to see it increase in real time.

CarbonPoker Pays Out Bad Beat Jackpot For Second Time in a Month

Posted By : Comb Over-Under October 2nd, 2009

carbonpoker-lobbyThe Bad Beat Jackpot at CarbonPoker has been one of the busiest online! Seriously, it seems like we can’t turn around without someone hitting the payout — and we couldn’t be happier.

We paid out over $167,000 to the Bad Beat Jackpot winners — oh yeah, that was on a > $75 pot. That’s some sweet action.

Last night, it was a Royal Flush (spades) beating out 4 Kings. Congrats to rangerjay1 for hitting the top prize of $58,456.93 (and losing with quad Kings), and callmeguys for his $29,228.46 take from the jackpot.

Oh yeah — and the players who were present (and wisely got out of the way of these hands) pulled in $4,175.49. As always, just sitting there and bringing in a few grand? That’s the easiest money in poker.

It’s just cool to see that the Jackpot can go off at any time. It keeps people on their toes and the Bad Beat tables busy. Remember – you can’t hit the Bad Beat Bonus without playing at a designated Bad Beat table.

Because the jackpot went off so recently, it wasn’t a massive Bad Beat Jackpot Payout, but as you can tell, these guys are all still pleased with it.

Here is a snippet of the chat, after the jackpot went off:

” Fullcasa44>sweet
allinMustbethemoney>YES !!!!!!!
Paymepal>awesome
callmeguys>gg
allinMustbethemoney>How sweet is that !
Paymepal>u guys are the best
Paymepal>lol
Fullcasa44>good job guys “

As always, the Jackpot has been reseeded and is ready for the next winner. I can only assume that it’ll go off tomorrow.

After the yump, check out the full money breakdown, pot size and hand breakdown.

CarbonPoker’s Bad Beat Jackpot Pays Out Again!

Posted By : Comb Over-Under September 22nd, 2009

cash_pileFor the third time this year, the Bad Beat Jackpot has gone off and paid out. Want to hear about over $600K in poker payouts? Read on!

In the wee hours of the morning, WhiteCSix’s Royal Flush beat baseball127’s straight flush on one of Carbon’s Bad Beat Tables.

As the loser of the hands, baseball127 cleaned up with a staggering $211,758.31. WhiteCSix’s Royal Flush was good for 6 figures as well, totaling $105,879.15. Decent, right?

As for the players that smartly got out of the way, they all earned $15,125.59. For just. sitting. there. /logs on to poker account… /plays hands… /hopes for $15K.

As you probably know, CarbonPoker has the lowest qualifier of any Bad Beat Jackpot online. Only Quad 7s or better need to be beaten for the bonus to payout. The guys playing last night, however, weren’t messing around and decided to show down with two of the biggest hands in poker.

If you missed out on the jackpot, don’t worry! The BBJ has been reseeded and currently sits at a sizable $125K. Sure, that’s less than baseball127 took down himself, but the Bad Beat Jackpot has a way of getting up there when you least expect it.

Earlier this year, we had a World Record payout of $1.2Million and another one of almost $750K. It seems that CarbonPoker just loves giving away cash.
Congrats on tbe big wins, guys. If you’re looking to make an investment… I know this really great blogger with a lot of big ideas… Just let me know.

Bad Beat Jackpot Reaches Half a Million Bucks

Posted By : CarbonPoker September 4th, 2009

The Bad Beat Jackpot is growing, growing, growing.

We paid out $745K and $1.2Million earlier this year, and the jackpot has already reached $504K (at the time of writing). As soon as the total gets up to half a mill, we really see the action increase on Bad Beat Tables. You’ve gotta be playing on a Bad Beat table for the jackpot to be eligible.

As I’ve explained before, CarbonPoker’s Bad Beat Jackpot has THE LOWEST qualifier online (kind of like your sister). If you have a hand of Quad 7s or better beaten, the jackpot goes off. Everybody sitting at the table gets paid out, the hand’s “winner” gets paid out, and the “loser” gets the bulk of it.

So, losers, when your sure thing hand gets beaten at CarbonPoker, there is definitely a silver lining.

Just being around for it is good enough. The last time it paid out, guys that were sitting at the table received $18K — not to mention the $500K+ that went to the big winner. Life-changing cash, folks.

Hit the tables. Each played hand on the Bad Beat tables puts more cash into the Jackpot. Build it up and cash it out!

CarbonPoker’s Caribbean Stud Jackpot Went Off!

Posted By : CarbonPoker July 30th, 2009

cash_pileOne of the most popular side games at CarbonPoker is Caribbean Stud poker, and this is why:

Early this morning, the Caribbean Stud jackpot paid off CarbonPoker player, ZuluTime.

At about 3am, ZuluTime won $30,437.63 on the $1 Caribbean Stud Table as his Royal Flush beat the dealer’s pair of Kings. This game only took 7 seconds. Caribbean Stud is quick and easy. If you beat the qualified dealer’s hand, you win your wager — and if you’ve played the jackpot bet, you’re eligible for that.

It sure pays off the play the jackpot, right?

The Caribbean Stud tables get a lot of action, and all of that helps increase the jackpot payout. The jackpot has already been re-seeded and is waiting for the next lucky winner.

Here’s the jackpot structure:

Royal Flush – 100%

Straight Flush – 10%

Four of a Kind – $100

Full House – $75

Flush – $50

Congrats to ZuluTime for the major win. CarbonPoker has paid out some big time jackpots. Two Bad Beats and numerous, smaller Caribbean Stud jackpots have been triggered. If you want in on the action, you’ve gotta hit the tables!

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!
