Online Poker Championship Heaven

Poker tournaments are the spice of life. Carbon Poker has some very sick ones in common poker lingo. The multi-table tournament payout structure is as follows for the small field ones. See them appended to this paragraph below. We prefer smaller fields because of the higher than average probability of making it to the money and better odds of getting first prize money. You can calculate the first spot payout by using the following tables once you have the guarantee in hand. Keep in mind that some tournaments have overlays. What is an overlay you ask. Sometimes poker sites add money to the prize pool, independant of the actual player field. This is usually as part of a promotion or bonus that Carbon Poker uses to drive traffic to major tournaments. If you are a professional tournament specialist, we recommend small scale poker championships to limit your poker variance. Even some of the best poker players go on huge stretches without a top 3 score let alone a cash out. A cash out is what we call being in the money or making it to the first paying spots. Typically the payout structures are very top heavy centric with only top 1-3 prizes being worthwhile. The world class players are aware of this and play a highly volatile style designed to make it or bust. These players have binary results, effectively taking down the tournament or going busto very early in the process. This is the style that players like lilholdem954 and Annette_15 have used to their advantage to makes millions playing online poker online. For fields of thirty to fourty nine:

first: 40 percent
second: 25 percent
third: 15 percent
fourth: 12 percent
fifth: 8 percent

For player volumes of fifty to ninety nine:

first: 30 percent
second: 20 percent
third: 12 percent
fourth: 10 percent
fifth: 8 percent
sixth: 6 percent
seventh: 5 percent
eight: 4 percent
nine: 3 percent
tenth: 2 percent

For player numbers of one hundred to one hundred and ninety nine:

first: 30 percent
second: 20 percent
third: 10 percent
fourth: 8 percent
fifth: 6 percent
sixth: 5 percent
seventh: 4 percent
eight: 3 percent
nine: 2.25 percent
tenth: 1.75 percent
eleven: 1 percent

Freeroll Poker championships

Although carbon shines with its eclectic array of tournaments, it also has a killer app: freerolls. No other room out there has the same freeroll value. This is actually quite surprising since this is a rather new poker room which has yet to establish itslef. Having freerolls is a real opportunity for the beginning player. It allows him to limit the risk and maximize his reward. Freerollers are the opposite of venture capitalists. Their proposition is low risk high reward, which is nicely plus ev in itself. Investors put a lot of their money on the line to make anything decent. Failure means losing hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you lose in a freeroll, here is the good news: you lose nothing ! nada. And if you win, well that's a nice bonus for no investment wouldn't you say ? When you join Carbon you will automatically qualify for a series of freerolls that occur around the clock. For example, you will have the luxury of qualifying for fifty thousand dollar tournaments every Sunday, the traditional day for big guarantee tourneys. Every month has a huge tournament with massive 100K guarantee. As popular media icon Oprah would say, that's one hundred thousand dollars people. Some players shun freerolls, their rationale is that the effort is not worth the reward. We strongly disagree with that stance. The truth is that some blocked because lack of funds when starting out. Just ask tournament specialist Annette_15 if freerolls are a joke. She had no money when she started out her career of poker of domination. None. The only money she had to start with was received from a freeroll. Well a couple of bucks can get your very far. Annette managed to parlay that freeroll money into millions of dollars (and euros). She won tournament after tournament online, made fortunes in the process and was the winner of the first european world series of poker event. Just sick when you consider that a freeroll win made her a fortune at such a young age. If you aspire to by as sucessful has Misses Oberstad, it will not be a simple entreprise of course. When Anette won a little from that freeroll, she displayed world class bankroll management skills and marine type discipline. Belive it or not (you may not believe us) she grinded one dollar tournaments. Just incredible, when you consider she was playing the non-turbos which can take 40 minutes to complete. 40 minutes of work for 2 dollars, you calculate the pitiful hourly rate. Now her hourly rate is dictated by the tourney buy-in and her sick return on investment. Sick players like Annette and Isaac Baron or WestmenloAA have unheard of ROIs towering in the 200% which is statistically very unlikely. These guys are simply awesome tournament ballas or ballers. So if Annette could maintain an ROI of 150 % (theoretically), some of you may laugh about this but we urge you to check her results, then if she entered a random 1000 dollar tournament, her return on investment would be 1500 dollars. An ROI of 0 would be cashing in and making the buyin back, so effectively Annette is profiting 1500 dollars every time she joins a 1K tourney. If she joins 3 at the same time, she averages 4.5K just from these three tourneys. If the tourneys are small fields and take 4 hours to clear, she hovers over the 1000 dollar an hour mark, which is excellent. Unfortunately because the bigger tournaments don't run that often effective hourly rates are much lower but still respectable. Even top MTTers like Annette and Mr Menlo cannot have better hourly rates from tournaments than they do from cash games. But tourneys are definitely valid too.
