The Poker Lab Rat

Ever player poker on a heart shaped table? Ever wanted to?

I personally haven’t felt the need. I have, however, always liked the elegantly simple layout of Carbon Poker’s navy blue table…Anyways, the crew at Carbon Poker just couldn’t resist laying on some of the frilly girlie pink stuff and consider Valentine’s Day is not just for lovers - it’s for poker players too.

Carbon Poker’s special February Heart Attack promotion will be offering players over $30,000 in freerolls (and they are smart enough to offer both Euro and US friendly start times).

There will be daily Heart Breaker Poker Tournaments, with a prize pool of $500 on weekdays and $1000 on Saturday and Sunday’s throughout February. On Valentine’s Day there will be a special $5,000 prize pool.

Now here’s another weird bit (as if heart shaped poker tables & cupid backed playing cards wasn’t enough): Half of each prize pool is paid as usual, but the other half will be paid to the top five players with the most consecutive hearts hole cards during the tournament. A leaderboard will run during the tournament so you can see how your streak of hole card hearts is stacking up against the rest of the field. The top five will be paid out 1st - 40%, 2nd - 24%, 3rd - 18%, 4th - 12% and 5th - 6%.

Easy. OK, well, I guess this is at least a unique twist on the usual Valentine’s celebrations - and probably one you should take advantage of!
