National Poker Week

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 14:58:07 +0000

 National Poker Week is taking place this month on July 19th through the 25th.  National Poker Week is a coordinated effort by the Poker Players Alliance (PPA) and it's base  as a way to let lawmakers in Washington DC hear directly from poker players all across the United States.

The organisation will be sending more than 30 State Directors and at least six professional poker players to the Capital. The PPA representatives will then be meeting with members of Congress and lobby for the legalization and regulation of online poker.

The House of Poker Blues encourages all citizens of the U.S.A. that believe in our freedom to spend our own money in the privacie of our own homes online to join the thousands of others and sign the petition at the PPA that will be presented to Congress. Don't sit idly by and let others do your talking, let your voice be one of those heard during National Poker Week !

Carbons Badbeat Jackpot On The Rise

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 11:49:23 +0000

Carbon Pokers Badbeat Jackpot is on the rise yet again. At the time of this posting it stands at $731,280.82 and climbling . Will it break the online record of 1.2 million dollars that the room set back just a few short months ago ? Only time will tell.

Details on the 1.2 million dollar badbeat jackpot win can be found by clicking here.

If you don't know about the badbeat jackpot you should . The jackpot is seeded from taking 50 cents of every pot on specially labelled ring tables. As soon as a player has a four sevens or better cracked, the jackpot will be won. And every player that is sitting in at the table receives a part of the money! The player with the losing hand will pick up the biggest percentage, so if you have Quad sevens or better using both hole cards, then you should hope to get beaten !

So make sure you download Carbon Poker and try your luck at the badbeat tables. Good luck !
