Have you heard of BOOM FANTASY? $500 Free Roll Tonight…..

Boomfantasy.com

I fell upon something really cool last night while looking around the web for a few fantasy football stats, Boom Fantasy.

Once I started playing, I couldn’t stop playing and I was completely hooked!

I started my play in the middle of the 3rd quarter of the Denver/Detroit game last night. I ran my total to over 38,000 but finished 21st and just missed a payout by one spot on that $100, 3rd Quarter Free Roll.

What is it? Boom Fantasy.com is an in-game fantasy contest.

You play on Boom Fantasy, by using your ability to predict what will happen on next play, your ability to call an offensive series, your skill is foreseeing what will happen on the next series of plays or kick.

Each time you play, you take the game situation into account, how is the defense playing, does the offense look out of sync, is the QB hurting? Is a cornerback limping?

You use all the information and tendencies you see happening during the game and on each and every offensive series, to make the correct decisions.

• Each fantasy contest on BoomFantasy is divided into 4 quarters and contest winners are paid at the end of each quarter.
• You can play all 4 quarters, or just on one or two quarters during any contest.
• You start each quarter with 1000 and try to run your score up as high as possible by being correct.
• My score in the 3rd Quarter last night was 38,500 and I just missed a cash win by one spot, I finished 21st, 20 was the last winning position
• The contest that I was in last night had just over 500 players competing.

Monday Night Free Roll 8:30PM ET Start

During the contest, you’ll be asked a question. Specific to the game situation at that time and given a choice of up to 4 answers. Each with different award amounts as you try to build your score. You have to make quick decisions, you only have a 10 second count down clock to make your choices. You can skip questions if you want.

If you are correct with your prediction, those question awards are added to your score. If your wrong, your score is deducted. Your goal is to finish in the top 20 of everyone playing in that contest. If you are in the top 20 at the end of that quarter, you’ll win contest cash.

What Kind of Questions will you see?

The possible questions are endless and can be about just anything that can happen during a NFL game.

Will there be a first down on the next play? Will the extra point be made? Will the next play be for positive or negative yardage? Will the call be overturned?  Will a flag be thrown on the next play?

Some in-game questions will ask about outcomes based on the next few plays or entire offensive possessions, so you may have 3, 4 or 5 questions waiting to answered at any one time.

The more difficult the question or the more unlikely the answer, the more you’ll be awarded for getting it correct.

I correctly called P Manning’s 45 yd TD to Thomas last night and  that’s the question that put me in the running for a free roll win.

Boom Fantasy plans to have, for at least this week and for next week $500 Prime Time Freerolls every Thursday Night, Sunday Night, and Monday Night. Each will start at 8:30PM ET

Boom Fantasy Free Rolls pay out $200 for 1st Quarter, $100 2nd Quarter, $100 3rd Quarter and $100 4th Quarter. You can join during each quarter or just play one, it’s up to you.

Sign Up is simple, just a E mail address, pick your player name and a password to get started.

They will be converting to real-money buy-ins within the next few weeks, but that date is not finalized yet.

Boom Fantasy is a US Company based in New York City.

335 Madison Avenue
3rd Floor
New York, NY 10017

They are obviously huge Giant Fans, any time the Giants are playing they will have a $500 Freeroll.

Give Boom Shakalaka a try tonight, you’ll enjoy the experience……

K8 “Kate Poker” Preview

We highlighted K8 Poker on our last post, here are our initial thoughts and comments on K8 “Kate” Poker

Like we said, K8 Poker is one of the newer BTC Poker rooms, less than 6 months old,  we deposited a small 200 chip amount (about $10) and played to see what they are all about.

First off, I never heard of K8 poker, until last Saturday. They actually E-mailed me,  asking if I would consider reviewing their Poker site.

I did a quick search and found them, I looked around and decided I would give them a shot, so I made a small deposit to give them a try.

I then E-mailed to their support with a few questions.

Our inquiry to K8 poker was responded to within hours (a really good sign to start).

Here is their response (from Alex)

Dear Robert

Thank you for your prompt answer. Regarding your questions:

1. When are your peak traffic times, what is the most player traffic you have ever had?

-> Its usually from 20:00 to 00:00 GMT . We have 3 games, Poker, Roulette and Slots, most user online was 1023, and most player in poker room was 117 . 

2. How long have you been up and running?  Where are you based?

-> Near 6 month. We are new, but had a great progress. Currently we are based in Denmark.

3. Have you considered a Deposit Bonus?  

-> As we are offering anonymous registrations is hard to manage Deposit Bonus. But maybe in future we will find a solution for it.

4. Can you give me more details on your player point program? 

-> Its very simple. Its the square root of total rake paid by each player. We update this once per week. Currently we have 5 levels for players. 

5. What is the new Rakeback system?

-> We recently added Rakeback function. Players can get from 2% up to 40% rakeback based on their point and level.

I hope you will enjoy playing at K8Poker.

The freerolls are every 2-3 hours, so it will cover all time zones.

You had asked for the search term, I don’t exactly remember, but I was searching for poker reviews which I find your website.

If you need anything or have any questions please don’t hesitate and just send me an email.

Kind regards,
Alex,
Kate Poker Support Team,
http://www.k8poker.net

Their support team was fast to respond to my questions and answered each.

This fast response made me even more curious to play the next chance I could,

My first real tournament I played on Kate Poker was the 1 chip buy-in / 100 chip GTD on Monday afternoon.

Here’s how I did:

I’m Usalegal and I managed a 2nd place win of 28 chips (on a 1 chip buy-in, I used no re-buys)

Here are more details of that tournament:

Entrants:         20
Removed:          1 (1455 chips)
Rebuys:           28
Prize pool:       100
Places paid:      4
Place #1:         45
Place #2:         28
Place #3:         17
Place #4:         10

Total time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Kate Poker has a somewhat limited tournament schedule as we write this review.

The best  tournament to play on Kate Poker is probably the Sunday 1K GTD at 3PM ET, it has a 9.5+.5 chip buy-in (10 chips), 3000 chip stack with 10 minute blinds and re-buys  for the first 5 levels.

If the Sunday 1K anything like the 100 GTD I placed 2nd in, you can expect to win a little something with little effort……

No shows for all tournaments will be removed from play after the first level, this is key especially if you play on their free rolls and 1 chip buy-in tournaments.

The tournament schedule is rather light on choices right now, but I’m sure will intensify as player traffic increases.

Currently you will only find 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 chip buy-in and a 100 chip buy-in HU tournament offered.

I seen mostly Hold-em tournaments listed, but there is at least one PLO tournament listed.

Kate Poker uses standard level structures of 5, 6, 8 and 10 minute blinds

Default Blind Levels

Ring Games include: .10/.20, .25/.50 up to 25/50 games in NLHE and PLO

2 and 5 chip buy-in (6 max) Sit’n’Go’s are listed on their Tournament lobby

Something to note about the tournaments and ring tables, they only use 8 handed tables I don’t know why, but they not as hard to beat as a 9 handed table, these tables often only play 6 and 7 handed, making them easy prey for expert short handed (6max) players.

I also went online this past Monday morning at 6AM to find a .10/.20 cash game going, it had 5 players including me, most were ROW players from countries like France, Belarus, Indonesia and Antarctica.

Most players on K8 are from the U.S., they state 28% U.S. Players as a total.

I personally seen mostly players from everywhere, including the UK, Australia, Germany, Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia, France and others.

There were players chatting in their native languages, of which I had no clue as to what they were saying. I was like WTF, speak English or be quiet.

Kate Poker definitely has found a worldwide player base.

My small sample of play earned me the first step on their Rake back program, here are the Rake back tiers they offer:

I am currently at the 2% rake back level and I didn’t even try, lets see how long it takes to advance up the Rake back ladder.

Kate Poker uses the Poker Maven software in it’s purest form, no additions or subtractions—it is more than stable, it was a joy, I did not get disconnected once on this browser software. One thing to note, the turn clock is set at 15 seconds, be ready to make some quick decisions when playing.

Kate Poker Table View:

Is it the best software ever? No, but it is more than what you could consider adequate for the micro limit play offered.

Kate Poker uses Bit Coins as it’s currency, 1 BTC = 10000 chips.

Currently a BTC equals about $450, so a chip ($450/10000) is worth about 4.5¢ each.

Most Every ring table buy-in and tournament buy-in is priced at 1 to 20 chips (about 5¢ to $1).

I am sure this will increase as time and player traffic increases, but now it is perfect for any one who plays Micro stakes or Free roll winnings.

Kate Poker only charges 2.5% on their ring game rake  and 5% tournament fees.

Banking on K8 Poker is super easy using Bit Coins, I used my deposit code as my withdrawal code on another BTC Poker room and had my deposit done within a hour on Sunday morning.

If you don’t have a BTC wallet, just sign-up to Coinbase Here, set up a BTC wallet account, then just link your bank account (for buying and selling BTC) and buy some  BTC (you can buy in $10 increments) and deposit on Kate Poker, you’ll be playing within hours.

Withdrawals will happen within an hour (sometimes faster) and no longer than 12 hours. Once you get your withdrawal on your BTC wallet like CoinBase, you will see your money deposited into your Bank account within a couple of days.

Minimum Withdrawal on K8 Poker is 500 chips, about $20 at the current BTC Price. K8 Poker will accept almost any size Deposit.

Kate Poker Withdrawal Screen.

All you need to do is put your BTC Wallet address in the BTC address on the screen to get your withdrawal.

I really think Kate Poker has some real potential as a BTC Poker Room, Player traffic is decent, not great, you will be able to find a micro limit ring game or tournament when you  visit them.

Visit K8 “Kate” Poker to see what I am talking about.

If you have a bug to play more than Poker, Kate Poker offers Roulette and a simple Slot Machine that is straight forward and basic as basic can be……

Traditional Slot Machine on Kate Poker

You can bet 1 to 5 chips (coins), have a single win line and use the traditional symbols 7’s, Bar’s, Bells, Lemons, Oranges, Plums and Cherries.

What could be more traditional???????????

The Roulette wheel on Kate Poker is as realistic as you could find online, the wheel will spin one way and the ball travels in the opposite direction, just like a real wheel in Vegas……

The only bad thing is there is a 5 chip total limit on wagers, that’s the max no matter how you place them……..

Poker Rebel $100 Free Roll

We played on the weekly “The Bridge” a $100 Free Roll held on PokerRebel.com every Sunday.

The Bridge has a $100 prize pool, that pays the final table (Top 10 finishers).

1st=$35, 2nd=$20, 3rd=$10, 4th to 10th place each receives $5

You start with a 1500 chip stack and the blinds are 5 minutes each. You will be at the final table within an hour and the entire tournament will be done in about a hour and a half.

Today’s Free Roll (June 30,2013) had 60 players.

A Quick Review on the PokerRebel software

A few things you should know about playing on the Pokerrebel.com software…..

• It will take some time to get used to the bet slider, it is very sensitive and increases in small amounts, like 2¢…it is kinda difficult to size your bets. With practice you should have enough control, just be aware when you first start playing.
• Your play turn times out rather quickly, especially if you are not used to using the bet slider, you must act within 10 seconds or you will be folded out.
• Be aware that when a player folds, his hand, the folded cards do not go away, the cards are still there–the only difference is the cards on folded hands show a small grey spade, the cards on live hands show a small black spade–this can be very confusing.
• Do not count on the hand history showing you anything but who bet, folded, raised or checked–NO CARDS are shown in the hand history and you will only know who won. Hand history is the little boxed √ to the left of the chat box.
• On show downs, no one’s cards are not displayed you have no idea what is happening until the hand is over and the pot is passed to the winner(s).
• You can add player notes by right clicking the players name.
• The tournament lobby kinda lags behind on tournament updates, like blind level, largest stack, smallest stack, average stack, ranking of players left, chip stacks for remaining players, just the players finishing position is listed on the player list. Also the lobby doe’s not show tournament payouts either in amount of positions paid.

The software on PokerRebels has many issues, however there is a entirely new software platform in the works by the Scion Poker Network (PokerRebels home network).  It is expected to be introduced sometime in the 3rd quarter of 2013 (in Aug., Sept. or Oct.).

Playing on PokerRebels is now like a trip back a few years ago, into the development stages of internet poker, it is not bad, just will take some getting used to.

PokerRebels offer’s all New Player Sign-ups a Free $10 bankroll, No deposit needed.

Combine the Free $10, a small relatively easy to win $100 Free Roll every week, why wouldn’t anyone check out Poker Rebels.com and give them a whirl??????????
