Blog Bonus Promotion Ended

I have ended the Blog Bonus Promotion.  (Cue the bagpipes)

Below is the content that used to be the "Blog Bonus" page.  The bonus was designed to give incentive for more comments on the blog, but after the initial bump, the comments have levelled out.  The money currently in the blog bonus fund has been moved over to the jackpot bonus.

Jackpot Winners - if you haven't checked this page out recently, I highly recommend it!  It documents all the winning jackpot hands and dates and the pictures that are posted are awesome.

The jackpot with the blog bonus money added is currently at $119

Blog Bonus Winners

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)

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.
