Poker.com makes network?

Online poker room, Poker.com, announced today that it has made some changes to its business model, which include the creation of a new poker network.The new network is called the Merge Gaming Network, the first member of which is a new room, CarbonPoker.com. Carbon Poker is a clone of Poker.com and all Carbon players will be playing at the tables along with Poker.com players. Interestingly, the Poker.com website will no longer have its own poker software. Instead, it is turning into an online poker portal.Poker.com, as an online poker room, will essentially become defunct, as it will not take any more new signups. Current Poker.com customers will still be able to play as normal and can always re-download the software if need be from their player admin section.The old Poker.com management will be running the Merge Gaming Network, as well as continuing to oversee the existing Poker.com accounts. The network plans to add more brands in the months to come.The most curious part about all of this is Poker.com’s new function as a poker portal. The oddest part of the whole thing is that the website has links to other online poker rooms, including Full Tilt Poker and 888.com. Why a site that will supposedly be a front for the Merge Gaming Network would want to send players to other poker rooms is unknown at this time.

Upto 100.000$ Freeroll 30. December

Yeah thats right.

All you have to do is click this link. Sign up and earn 300 comppoints, then you get a ticket for it.

Now that might sound hard, but its really not. Actually you can reach 300 by playing 1-2 SNGs, every tourney or SNG have written how many comppoints they give.

See here for details: 100.000 Freeroll

This ofcourse is only for people that dont have a poker.com account yet.

Well Evil my friend, no matter your skill you cant beat luck.

GRATS TO PURECHAOS GO BEAT AUSSIE DOWN.

Goodbye to Freeroll26 and irongirl.

With 5 left, 3 lowstacks the 2 next to go was Freeroll26 and Irongirl.

Once again purechaos gets it on luck, cracking Freerolls AA with 62 off, flopping 222 wonder if he can loose at all, I havent seen him loose a hand yet.

After irongirl had to make a stand on K9 but gets called by Zowies AK sending her out in the dark, at least I get that call.

Evil doubled. purechaos raise, Evil all in on QQ purechaos call with J8. Needless to say he did not suck out this time.

Purechaos: 55000
Evil: 22000
Zowie: 19000

The exit of imjusthere4thebeer

A lot of gamling right now. purechaos seems to have decided its an all in or fold game. Havent seen him do much else. But it seems efective when you have 30000 chips. boring to watch though.

imjusthere decided to make a stand with 33, but purechaos luck is still in.

Good game mike but you get to go anyway,
GRATS ON WINNING THE BLOGGERTRIP THERE

Blogger Tour Grand Final

The day finally arrived and I was ready for it.

20 persons. Texas NL. 10 min levels 5k start stack.

I must admid right from the start I saw some extreemely poor poker. People called to river with 55 without having hit anything, even with big reraises. It was like playing a freeroll, if people had a hand they called to river regardless of what hit the table.

Sadly for me I never had a hand in the game. 1 AQ folded preflop. 1 44 and finally 1 99 which killed me. that was pretty much it for me. sadly I never got to play poker.

My last hand with blinds at 600, me UTG with 99. 5000 chips left slightly low. I raise 1800, 1 call andother(purechaos) go all in with 13000 chips. I call at this point being very low and I look into KQ, yes shoking right??? all in with 13000 and he has crap like that??? Not that I was that surprised really, that was the level most in the game played.

Ofcourse he gets an Ace high str8 and Im out. I made 11th and got a chipset, wonder if the lower prizes GF ticket to 275$ aint worth more? Else it will be the most exclusive chipset I own. *lol*

right now there is 5 left. looking like this:

ZowieZ: 34000
purechaos: 26000
Irongirl: 13000
freeroll26: 12700
Evil666: 9000
imjusthere4thebeer: 4000

Good Luck to almost you all. ;)

Blogger Tour last event.

Yes believe it or not, I made 10th just getting me enough points to stay in the Top20 and award me the Grand Final ticket for saturday. :D

Now to make it 2 in a row. *lol*

Here are the list of people making the top20 and the final. as you see Hacksaw made it, which makes me specially happy, since I almost cost him the final spot in last event where I made a misclick calling his all in with more than ½ my stack on K3 offsuit buying a K and killing his QQ.
I felt bad about that ever since, but I hope he knows I would never do that on purpose and hope he will forgive me now he made the final regardless on his skillfull play.

Also thanks to Mada for his support during this event, he is a great guy that I actually met in Vegas because I won last season Blogger tour. So you not only can win a great trip for free, you can also win great friends. Imagine that.

As life goes

Yes Im back.
you might have noticed a lack in post for a time, but Im now on the availibility list for work. That means Ive been quite busy for some time getting the money to even live properly. You might call me a pro pokerplayer now, but that prolly wont last. 1 of the things that suffered was my blog, too much to do and I had neither time or the mood to post here.

But Im back now. :)
