All month long this August, 2011, Luvin Poker is holding Rake Races, with two rake races taking place each half of the month. The first two week period, August 1 – 14, there will be a $2,500 Poker Point Race and a $1,000 Raked Hand Race. The same pair of races will be repeated August 15 – 31.
In the PokerPoint Races, play on Luvin Poker’s cash tables and amass as many rake points as possible. The player with the most number of points at the end of the period wins the top prize of $600. Players in the top 20 will be paid out at least $30, with second place getting $400, third getting $300, fourth getting $200 and each of places 5 through 10 getting $100.
In the Raked Hands Races you earn leader board rankings simply for participating in raked hands on Luvin Poker’s cash tables. The player at the end of each race period who played in the most cash game raked hands wins $250. The runner-up gets $150 and the third place finisher gets $100. All players in the top 15 get paid out at least $20.
Luvin Poker is one of the newest poker sites on the scene. And it happens to be one of the only poker sites still welcoming US players, which for some is enough of a reason right there to check it out. For those who need more incentive than that, there are the four rake races with a total guaranteed prize pool of $7,000 taking place this month of August, 2011.
