Two Ways to Make Online Poker More Competitive at Intertops Poker

Last Updated on


As part of its regular schedule Intertops Poker offers two ways players can beef up the level of competition at the online poker table: Pro Tables and the Friday Night Bounty.

Pro Tables are, just as they sound, opportunities to sit in with some of poker’s fiercest competitors. Just some of the players who’ve sat in at Intertops Poker’s Pro Tables and are likely to do so again are Ilari ‘Zigmund’ Sahamies, Antonio ‘The Magician’ Esfandiari, Phil ‘Unabomber’ Laak, Andrew ‘good2cu’ Robl, Alec Torelli, James Obst, Paul Wasickai.

All Pro Tables are real money ring game tables and Intertops Poker runs them at two stakes levels: $5/$10 and $10/$20. If you’re up for this kind of nosebleed level challenge, Intertops Poker welcomes you to sit in every Monday through Friday at 7 pm ET. Railbirds wishing to just observe are invited as well.

Then on Fridays in particular, players pro and amateur alike can face off again, this time in tournament style play, at the Friday $250 Guaranteed Bounty tournament. These take place every Friday at 9:00 pm ET for a direct buy-in of $10 + $1. Of that buy-in $5 goes toward a bounty on that player’s “head”; whoever knocks that player out of the competition wins the bounty, regardless of how they themselves finish in the game.

Players can avoid the $11 bounty and win a seat instead in Intertops Poker’s Friday $250 Guaranteed Bounty Tournament by finishing in either 2nd or 3rd place in one of the two daily Intertops Tourneys Freeroll.

The Intertops Poker May FPP Race, meanwhile, is made up of four weekly FPP Races worth a total prize pool of $25,000 divided into $6,250 weekly portions.

February at Intertops Poker Offers FPP Races and Knock Out Challenges

Last Updated on


Head to Intertops Poker this February and you can compete in both FPP Races and Knock Out Challenges, all of which offer the possibility of winning extra money for the play you already enjoy at the site.

Every week in February, from Wednesday to Wednesday, 4 pm to 3:59 pm ET, Intertops Poker will be holding a Frequent Player Points Race worth $6,250, paid out to 100 top finishers. Multiplied by four weeks, making for four such race periods, that combines to $25,000 in cash rewards.

Remember, success in the FPP Race is not about whether you win or lose the poker games you play, be they tournaments or cash games. It’s about how many FPPs you earn while you play and that’s simply a matter of playing more often, for longer durations and at higher stakes.

Starting the 1st of February, Intertops Poker is also holding more Knock Out Challenges. These are bounty tournaments taking place each Monday, Wedneday and Friday. There are two ways to win cash in these events: firstly by finishing in the money, of course, and secondly by knocking your fellow players out of the running. For every player’s $5 + $0.50 buy-in, $2 will go to the bounty on their head. The prize pool at each Knock Out Challenge is $1,000, on top of the bounty rewards. There’s even a third way to win money through the Knock Out Challenges. Every player you knock out also earns you a point on a monthly Headhunter leaderboard, with the 10 top finishers receiving a share of another $1,000 prize pool.

Intertops Poker Offers Hearts Edition of Match & Win Game for February

Last Updated on


This month, Intertops Poker is offering a special Hearts Edition of its regular Match & Win Game promotion. In honor, of course, of Valentine’s Day, Intertops Poker is adding to its regular Match and Win game promotion, cash prizes for every Jack through Ace of Hearts Gold Card. Each of these cards has an associated cash prize for its recipient, those prizes increasing as the card’s value increases: the Jack of Hearts is worth $50, the Queen of Hearts is worth $100, the King of Hearts is worth $250 and the Ace of Hearts is worth $1,000.

Additionally, throughout February 2012, certain individual heart Gold Cards can also allow players to enter single Gold Card tournaments with prizes of their own.

The Match and Win Game Board can be found in the Intertops Poker login software under the tab that says Gold Card and the section that says Rewards.

As always, eligibility to win prizes from this month’s Match & Win game board is restricted to Gold Cards that earned during the month of February 2012, starting 0:00 on the 1st and ending 23:59 on the 28th, GMT. Also, Gold Cards purchased at The Exchange do not count toward Match and Win prize eligibility.

In addition to eligibility for the Match and Win game promotion, Intertops Poker’s Gold Cards can also be used to buy-in to certain Gold Card tournaments with cash prize pools of their own. All of these are rebuy and add-on tournaments as well. Recent Gold Card Tournament prize pools have ranged from $200 to $1,000.

Intertops Poker Hosts Match & Win Jackpot Edition

Last Updated on


In January, Intertops Poker is running a Jackpot Edition of its regular Match & Win game promotion. What makes this Jackpot Edition so special is the addition of a jackpot awarded to players who receive an Ace as one of the January gold cards.

Only January 2012 gold cards are eligible for the Jackpot Edition of the Match & Win game. Fortunately, there are multiple aces of each suit in the January 2012 deck, so there is ample opportunity for players to win. What’s more, each player can win each prize on the Match & Win game board, including each jackpot prize, once over the course of the month. That means if a player manages to collect all four aces, he or she will get $12,250 in instant cash prizes.

The Ace of each suit has a different instant cash prize associated with it. Each Ace of Clubs awards $250, each Ace of Diamonds awards $500, each Ace of Hearts awards $1,500 and each Ace of Spades awards $10,000.

Players earn gold cards at Intertops Poker’s real money cash game tables; tournaments and sit and gos do not qualify for gold cards. Players can also purchase gold cards at The Exchange, although gold cards obtained this way cannot be used for any Match & Win game prize, Jackpot Edition or otherwise.

Besides the instant jackpot for aces, Intertops Poker will award a number of other prizes, including cash, over the course of the month of January 2012 through other prize-winning gold cards and gold card combinations appearing on the January 2012 Match & Win game board.

Intertops Poker Holding 26-Day Endurance Challenge

Last Updated on


Intertops Poker is now holding a 26-Day Endurance Challenge with up to $42 per person in individual cash prizes and tickets into $3,250 worth Freerolls up for grabs. It lasts from December 1 to 27 and here’s how it works: earn a set target number of Frequent Player Points each day for a target number of days and earn a prize along with a freeroll tournament entry.

The minimum requirement to earn a ticket into the $750 freeroll is earning 14 FPPs per day for 5 days of the promotion. Earn the same daily FPP count for 10 days at least and you’ll meet the minimum requirement to earn a ticket into the $1,000 freeroll. Do it for 15 days or more and get into the $1,500 freeroll.

Cash prizes start at $3 for 14 FPPs a day for 20 days and go up from there. You can earn a cash prize in as little as 5 days if you earn 224 FPPs on each of those days. That prize, incidentally, is $10. You can also earn $10 for earning 112 FPPs per day for 10 days.

A particularly nice and novel feature of this promotion is that you do not have to opt-in first in order for your FPP earnings to count toward earning prizes. That means that even if you’re finding out abou this promotion mid-month, all the FPPs you’ve earned before now in December 2011 will still apply. So as long as you’ve been playing at Intertops Poker in December 2011, you’re already entered and competing in the 26-Day Endurance Race.
