Cool Hand Poker, an online poker site that appeals to the laid-back poker player, is offering a unique promotion for its members in October. The site’s method is to provide novice players with a fun and relaxing poker playing experience, but also give frequent customers cash prizes this month.
Cool Hand Poker’s main promotion in October is the My Poker Challenge, in which players will earn Cool Points based on their volume of play. Points will be awarded for each raked hand on various tables, which can then be used for tournament buy-ins. A maximum of 1,000 points can be earned each day, but if players end up with a positive balance on their cash game play, they will receive an additional 10% in points. The bonus points will be awarded to all players who earn a profit during the day.
Players who earn the maximum number of points every day, along with the additional 10% for ending up with a positive balance, will win $10,000. Everyone who takes part in the promotion will earn some type of cash prize. A $10,000 prize will be in the offing for players generating 37,400 points. A $1,250 cash prize will be awarded to players with 32,000 points. A $1,100 prize will be given to players with 31,000 points. Other prizes include $1,000 (29,000 points), $900 (26,800 points), $800 (24,800 points), $700 (22,700 points), $600 (20,600 points), and $500 (18,600 points).
