The Cage on Americas Cardroom

Player ‘bik6624235’ Dropkicks His Way to Biggest Payday in The Cage, Americas Cardroom’s $5,100 Buy-in Cash Game.

ACR Press Release:

San Jose, Costa Rica – October 9, 2014 – Americas Cardroom has officially broken new ground as poker players from around the world threw punches in The Cage. After the final hand of The Cage tournament was dealt, industry experts and those watching on the major online poker forums agree that the time-based cash game was an enormous success.

“We would like to congratulate all the participants in The Cage,” said Michael Harris, spokesperson for Americas Cardroom. “We witnessed a lot of heated moments at the tables as players viewed the six-figure prize pool up for grabs. In the end, we’re thrilled to see a lot of players walking away feeling like champions.”

The Cage surpassed all expectations in its debut. A whopping 66 players either direct bought in or qualified to the inaugural event of The Cage which took place on Wednesday, October 8th. The total prize pool was $330,000, which meant there was plenty of money to go around for all the combatants.

However, players weren’t playing for a distributed prize pool. They were playing for the exact value of their chip stack. The time-based cash game combined the excitement of a poker tournament with the adrenaline rush of a cash game. Poker players who entered the cash game did so with 5,000 in chips, with each one holding a real dollar value. Players who survived the three hours received cash for their exact chip stack.

The Cage participants had just three hours to dropkick their way to victory. Players bik6624235 ($29,947), UpayformyKia ($20,921) and vasya9 ($15,556) were the top 3 winners when the clock counted down to zero.

The Next Cage is Already Here

The date has been set for the next big time-based cash game, Americas Cardroom players can look forward to another groundbreaking online poker event on November 12, 2014 at 8:00pm ET. Satellites are already running from as low as $1.65.

The Cage PLO

On November 26, 2014 just 2 weeks after the next Cage, Americas Cardroom has announced a PLO event with a similar structure. There’s been a massive player interest for such an event, as a result Americas Cardroom executives have decided to listen to their players and deliver once again.

On December 14th, Americas Cardroom is guaranteeing $1 million in Winning Millions, the first Sunday million-dollar tournament to hit US shores in nearly four years. Players can buy directly in for $500+$40 or find a low buy-in qualifier for just a few dollars.

Winning Millions Update

Americas Cardroom Invites Poker Players to Lock In $540 Winning Millions Seat With Minimum Deposit.

Americas Cardroom has added another way to get a chance to play in the $1 Million Dollar guaranteed poker tournament to be held on ACR on December 14, 2014.

Here is the Press Release:

San Jose, Costa Rica – October 3, 2014 – Who says you have to win at poker to earn a seat in the biggest online poker tournament to hit US shores in nearly four years? Americas Cardroom today invited players to lock in their $540 seat by making a $10 deposit for first depositors or $25 for reload depositors. The seat is unlocked just by playing poker and the $1 million tournament gets underway on December 14th at 3:00pm ET.

“It’s our goal to pack Winning Millions with as many players we can and catapult the final prize pool into history-making territory,” stated Michael Harris, spokesperson for Americas Cardroom. “So starting today, we’re inviting online poker players to lock in their seat just by making a deposit.”

Winning Millions is a Texas Hold’em tournament featuring a $1 million prize pool, set to begin on December 14th, 2014. Poker players can buy directly in for $500+$40 or win their spot through daily satellites.

With today’s announcement, poker players can also lock in their seat just by making a deposit. Upon depositing, players are invited to join the promo by opting in through the BONUSES section in the CASHIER. Once a player has collected 13,000 Award Points, their seat will be unlocked. Players can earn Award Points by playing cash games, tournaments, and sit & goes at Americas Cardroom.

Commented Harris, “Over the last year, we’ve seen a giant community of grinders hit the tables hard at Americas Cardroom playing The Beast and Sit & Crush. With 2.5 months left to secure a seat, it’s easy for a dedicated player to unlock their seat.”

Harris notes that the Lock In You Winning Millions Seat promo is extra rewarding because those grinding the tables to unlock their seat will also automatically participate in The Beast and Sit & Crush by playing at qualifying tables.

The response to Winning Millions has been beyond impressive. Many are predicting that the tournament could change the poker landscape in the US permanently and a Sunday million-dollar tournament could be a weekly event to look forward to in 2015.

Here is how they put it,

“The response to Winning Millions has been incredible,” stated Michael Harris, spokesperson for Americas Cardroom. “While we’ve only launched our satellite schedule a few weeks ago, we’re expanding it to help more players win a seat and grow the prize pool beyond the $1 million guarantee.”

Scheduled to get underway on December 14th, Winning Millions is a Texas Hold’em tournament featuring a $1 million prize pool – the first of its size and scope since early 2011 for US players. Poker players can buy directly in for $500+$40 or win their spot through a satellite.

The Winning Millions satellite schedule is packed with a number of daily events that feed into two nightly satellites with $100+$9 and $15+$1.50 buy-ins. They both pay out at least one seat in the Winning Millions $1 million guarantee on December 14th. Poker players can also win a spot in the $15+$1.50 qualifier through daily freerolls at 10:00am and 1:30pm.

New to the schedule are daily 10:00am, 12:30pm and 1:20pm ET tournaments with $5+$0.5 buy-ins that pay out a seat in the $100+9 satellite. Players will also find $1+0.10 satellites at 3:15pm, 6:15pm and 7pm ET that feed into the same $100+$9 satellite. For those who don’t find a satellite that works for them, Americas Cardroom has also included Sit & Go’s running constantly from as low as $24+$1.20.

The Winning Millions is scheduled for December 14th and has a guaranteed prize pool of $1 Million Dollars with $200K guaranteed to the Winner….

TV coverage of the Poker Championship…..

I have always found that the TV coverage of The WSOP© as the most fascinating TV…..

Watch poker on ESPN

I’ll be watching every chance I can…….

Why? Well to be honest, it is not what most players consider as Real Poker (it’s edited).  Because it is snippets of play, you only see the best hands, the best plays.

However, if you really watch and pay attention, you will learn a few tiny tidbits of strategy, a few little hints as how to trap someone, just pay attention—you’ll see what I mean.

The only time you really see live play is in November, when you actually see the Final 9 playing hand for hand on Nov. 10th and 11th, everything else is cut and pasted to show the big hands, the most shrewd play leading up to the final table qualifiers.

What you won’t see is how everyone throws most hands into the muck while waiting for that perfect hand.

Now don’t take me wrong,  Poker on TV is really great entertainment.

You will see how the pros make their moves, how to play a big hand and how to take advantage of a good thing.

Be ready to see exactly how to trap opponents, how to lure your opponents into big bets and watch them fall like flies as you flip your hand over…….

If you are like me, you ‘ll be tuned into ESPN© and watching all the WSOP© action.

Complete Schedule of TV coverage on ESPN© this Year

I like the 2 hour blocks scheduled this year, you can spend a whole evening watching poker and have a chance to really get behind your favorite players.

November 10th and 11th is can’t miss TV, those will the best 2 days a poker player can spend watching TV. You’ll see every hand, every play and every move made by the Final 9.

You’ll  see all the crap thrown away and what they think will work as they play for the Ultimate Championship of Poker.

The one and only,  WSOP© Main Event Bracelet

Be like me, watch for the TV advertising of Americas Cardroom during the WSOP© events on ESPN.

Join Americas Cardroom for the $1 Million Guaranteed Online Poker Tournament on December 14, 2014 you could cash out $200k for a few hours of Poker Play………

Important News from Americas Cardroom

ACR Press Release:

Americas Cardroom Stops Serving Players in New Jersey, Nevada, and Delaware.

San Jose, Costa Rica – May 14, 2014 – Americas Cardroom today announced a move to serve players only in markets without state-licensed poker sites. The online poker site today announced that, effective immediately, players in New Jersey, Delaware, and Nevada will no longer be eligible to play real money online poker at Americas Cardroom.

“Our goal at Americas Cardroom is to build a poker community where players come first. But we also strive to play fairly. As a result, our network has decided to stop serving players in New Jersey, Nevada, and Delaware due to the availability of a regulated poker market in those states,” stated Americas Cardroom spokesperson Michael Harris.

Americas Cardroom has traditionally offered online poker players around the world access to play the game they love, even those players living in markets where there is no express licensing/regulation of local operators.

With Nevada, Delaware, and New Jersey now allowing their respective residents to play on licensed, local state poker sites, Americas Cardoom’s network, the Winning Poker Network, has decided to no longer serve players in those markets.

Players already accessing WPN who reside in the three states will have access to their accounts to close out their balances. Real money play from residents in those states will no longer be permitted.

Commented Harris, “We’re growing extremely rapidly outside of the three regulated markets, so players can expect to see lots of action at the tables and guarantees that surpass what’s promised. What’s more, we’re happy to welcome players from the three regulated states to our land-based tournaments, including the upcoming LSOP Millions II in Panama and the Punta Cana Poker Classic in Dominican Republic.”
