ChipKing Champion – $20,000 in Freerolls This Month

Posted By : CarbonPoker September 11th, 2009

Chip King ImageLabor Day has come and gone – so fall is officially here. While we’re squeezing the last drops out of summer, CarbonPoker is rolling out another great promotion: the ChipKing Champion.

This month we are offering up $20,000 in freerolls (in addition to our regularly scheduled free tourneys). In the ChipKing event, earn VIP Points through the eligibility periods to build your unique starting stacks for each of the Freeroll Events. The Top 50 VIP Point earners will compete in an exculsive (50-person only) $5K Freeroll. Again, this tourney will have unique starting stacks based on the VIP Points you’ve accumulated through the qualification periods.

What are the qualification periods, you ask? Aren’t you impatient…. just scroll down a little bit or check out the Official ChipKing Promo page.

The Schedule:

Week 1: September 7 – 12 VIP Point Qualification Period
- Sunday 13, September @ 12:00 Server Time — $2,500 Freeroll

Week 2: September 14 – 19 VIP Point Qualification Period
- Sunday 20, September @ 12:00 Server Time – $2,500 Freeroll

Week 3: September 7 – 26 VIP Point Qualification Period

  • 250 Chips = 5 – 9.9 VIP Points
  • 500 Chips = 10 – 24.9 VIP Points

Reminder: The Carbon Million is Awesome

Posted By : CarbonPoker July 17th, 2009

Carbon MillionWe are officially one week into CarbonPoker’s best promotion of the summer.

The Carbon Million automatically tracks how many VIP Points you’ve earned and gives you cash for it. Pretty easy, right?

The best part about this, is you get paid for doing what you’d be doing anyways – playing poker. If you’re reading this, I’m betting that you’re a poker player…if not, what are you doing here? Weirdo.

You’ve got 60 days in this promo, and every extra hand/game/tourney you play will earn you more VIP Points.

Here are a few of the 21 Tiers of prizes:

125 Points — $2.50 Cash

500 Points — $5.75 Cash

5,000 Points — $90.00 Cash

15,000 Points — $375.00 Cash

80,000 Points — $4,400.00 Cash

200,000 Points — $20,00.00 Cash

Hit the tables this weekend, earn more VIP Points and cash in on September 6th. The Carbon Million only lasts for 60 days, but that will go faster than you’d expect.

Get your games in and win. Simple.

The Final Countdown (to the Blogger Tourney)

Posted By : CarbonPoker July 14th, 2009

The_Final_CountdownWith only one day to go until the CarbonPoker Blogger Tourney, things are getting pretty intense.

I’ve locked myself to my computer, practicing for the event. I’ve read my own poker strategy posts again and again and I’ve been reading all the other competing blogs to try and spot some weaknesses (there are many).

For the No-Limit Hold’em event tomorrow at 7pm EST — feel free to come in and watch — there will be a full table of 10 competitors, a live chat thread on the CarbonPoker Blog and me dominating the action. What else could you hope for?

Stay posted for the full lineup of players, side bets, nicknames, recaps and guest posts.

Don’t forget that there’s a $500 prizepool at stake — so in addition to the smack talk, there will be some pretty decent (or stupid) poker being played.

This is going to be the first of many blogger poker events, so if you’re out there writing on the web, let me know in the comments or on Twitter ( @carbonpoker ).

Play the Carbon Million and Cash In

Posted By : CarbonPoker July 9th, 2009

Carbon Million

Promotion Time!

The Carbon Million is my favorite promo that we’ve pushed in a while. I know that I’m payed to say that, but this is for real.

We’ve got 25,000+ cash prizes. REAL prizes. We’re going to give away more than $1,000,000. That’s legit. There are 21 tiers of prizes. Individual prizes range from $2.50 – $20,000.

All you need to do is rack up some VIP Points and CarbonPoker will track your progress.

Ok, here’s the deal:

  • Every player is automatically entered
  • It’s 60 days long — July 8 – September 6 (prizes will be paid out on the final day of the tourney)
  • With each VIP Point you earn, it adds to your total. Build your points and work your way up the ladder.
  • At each prize tier, there are a limited amount of prizes available – the first players to each tier secure the prizes

Check out the Official Carbon Million Page for rules, tips and prizes.

When it comes down to it, you earn money for doing what you’d be doing already: playing poker. If you play a little more than you usually do, you’ll earn a little more.

Carbon Blogger Tourney Set for Next Week

Posted By : CarbonPoker July 8th, 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.
