Titan Poker, the largest online poker room on the iPoker Network, has awarded more than $7,000,000 to players winning its special jackpot sit ‘n’ go tournaments. And they have plans to keep on giv’in!
Launched soon after the popular online poker room’s inception in 2005, the Jackpot tournaments have grown in popularity and attract more and more players every day. Titan Poker manager, Robin Steele, is very pleased by the huge amount awarded to winning players, saying ‘this shows that Titan Poker’s jackpot tournaments are very popular, and are continuing to grow at a fast rate.’ Any player who wins six consecutive six-player Fort Knox Jackpot Sit ‘N’ Go Tournaments will take home a jackpot prize starting at $50,000. This prize grows progressively each week and can reach as high as $200,000 until it is eventually claimed.
Players who finish in first or second place in six consecutive Fort Knox tournaments are awarded a $750 jackpot prize. Also popular at Titan Poker are the Rio and Maui Progressive Jackpot Sit ‘N’ Go Tournaments, which offer starting jackpots of $25,000 and $15,000 respectively. The Rio and Maui jackpots grow progressively each week if no player manages to win enough consecutive tournaments to take the jackpot prize. I think I need to head over and open an account and give Titan a try and I getting a bit sick of Jokerstars!
Here is a bit of a poker story from me to you. A couple of weeks ago I came in second in an nice size NL HE tourney and won $490, since then the decks have been chilly cold. Here is an example, I played a large $5.50 NL HE with rebuy tourney a couple of days ago and went bust twice pre-break with a nut flopped straight (guy rivered a house) and with a Q 10 flush, guy had K 2.
I haven’t even been able to make the money for the past two weeks. I don’t think I am doing anything drastically wrong but I am thinking the cold decks and bad beats are making me a little gun-shy. I might be considering a two week hiatus to see if that can snap me back into a winning mind-set. What do you all think?
With a tight economy many casino goers in South Florida are finding it hard to scrape together the money to fund their favourite hobbies. “Mortgages are going up, interest is going up, gas food, you know everything is going up,” said Annie, a local casino patron. “So by the time you take care of your household needs, you don’t have anything left.”
The lack of disposable income for many across the area creates a problem for some casinos, which have to lay off employees when less money is being taken in. And for casinos in more remote areas, the price of gas compounds the issue. “People gotta fill up their tank and drive here. I think they’re going to go where it’s more convenient to gamble,” said Dan Adkins of Mardi Gras Gaming.
But, one casino seems to be bucking the trend, the Seminole Hard Rock Casino. Blackjack tables opened up for the first time over the weekend, and even with the $100 million due to the state of Florida in the first year of card games allowed, the Casino believes it can still push the profits in the weakened economy. I guess it depends on how desperate the economic situation gets, if it really tanks then most casinos can probably expect a sharp upturn as folks look for a way to feel better in tough-times.
