New Bonus Announced! Old Bonus Continues.

Introducing the new Blog Bonus.           

For every day that you make at least one comment on the blog, I will enter your name into a draw for a free $30 buy in for the cash game.  This will be paid to you in chips.  This draw will take place every 2 to 3 months and you will not need to be present to win.  You will have 6 months to show up and use the bonus or I will roll it over to have 2 separate winners in the next draw.   I will keep track of the number of days you have commented and fill the ballots out (ballots and chips are non-transferable).  For the current Blog Bonus, all comments from the start of the blog will receive ballots.

I will announce in advance at which game the draw will take place and I will draw the name at the game, prior to the initial buy in.

I will be excluded from this bonus.  I will however target the winner unrelentingly until the $30 is neatly stacked in front of me.

Of course as always our Jackpot Bonus will run as usual (cash game only).

Using both hole cards if you hit one of the following hands, you will receive the designated % of the progressive jackpot.

4 of a Kind AKA "Quads" receives 50% of the jackpot
Straight Flush receives 60% of the jackpot
Royal Flush receives 70% of the jackpot

It is important to note that if you hold a hand that could potentially win a bonus but all players fold prior to the river, you may request that the dealer "run the hand out" to still have a chance to win.  This is so that the hands still play out normally without players having to adjust their play to try and win a bonus.

The jackpot currently has $100 in it.

To facilitate the above bonuses, the players agree to have 25 cents taken from any pot $4 or more and another 25 cents taken if the pot is larger than $40.  100% of the money collected is used for the bonuses and is always awarded as chips at the table.

do i get a ballot for each comment if i leave one word comments that add up to a sentence when added to together?

Big Dipper said...

As long as the words are in consecutive days as the post clearly indicates.

We can't shut you up, are kidding me? If you leave one word comments, we will flood the comments with Brain Kramp bashing. So it'd kinda be like now, but you'd get ballots.

how much would one pay to have the chance to beat clayton heads up in a tournament and totally own him in the process???? answer ...... $200. yes, even though i won i lost it all but it was still worth it!

Big Dipper said...

Kramp, yes you got hit hard in the face with the deck heads up and you still almost blew it while starting with a 10 to 1 stack difference. I am thankful for the cash game as it feels great to stack you and make you rebuy. In fact isn't that the money you won in the tournament now in my bankroll?

My prediction is that chatty Kramp is going to take down this bonus...(and yes, I decided to put this thought on paper so that I too could get another ballot in the box!)

krampstar said...

well, likely what will happen is that i'll have about 98% chance of winning and then army will come in and post one comment and beat me..... urghhhhh!!!!!!!!!! i hate bad beats.

Big Dipper said...

Still reeling, eh Kramp....

For those that haven't checked, the next game has been posted under "upcoming events" for a couple of days. E-mail will come out soon.

Jackpot is at $155 and the blog bonus draw will happen at our next game, on March 22.

We will see who wins it. Probably lucksack Brain Kramp.
