Cake Poker have just announced that they will be offering a reload bonus to all players during Halloween. The offer is a 25% reload bonus up to $100 if you make a deposit between 31st October and 3rd of November.

You will not only get a $100 reload bonus but you will also be credited with 10 Gold Chips once you have made your deposit.

In order to take part of this reload offer you will need to enter the Cake Poker bonus code TREAT when you make your deposit and the bonus will automatically be credited to your account.

The winning card in todays Gold Card Lottery draw at Cake Poker was the six of Hearts from any series.

All players holding this Gold Card in their account will be able to participate in a $6666.66 tournament. This is a 6 seat Turbo tournament so if you are not comfortable with a fast tournament structure you will probably do better holding on to your hard earned Gold Cards.

Todays recommendation: If you have the 6 of Hearts series 3 go for the tournament. But if you only have the same card in series 1 or 2 then you will get better offers in the future as these are worth a lot more.

The winning card in todays draw of the Cake Poker Gold Card Lottery was the 6 of Diamonds of any Series. All the players at Cake Poker that holds this Gold Card will be able to participate in a $3000 Pot Limit Omaha Tournament.

For a common card like the six of Diamonds this is actually a good tournament and we will have to recommend that you participate in this tournament if you hold this card.

Good Luck to all of you who will be playing in todays tournament.

The famous Norwegian online poker player Johnny Lodden have just signed to join Team PokerStars.

Johnny Lodden is known online as “bad_ip” which is the alias he used when he played at Prima Poker back in 2005 and 2006 and he was crushing players like Patrik Antonius and durrrr at the poker tables. In the later years he has both won and lost huge sums of money and to say that bankroll management is not his strong side is an understatement.

Hopefully he can find his way back to his former glory with the help of his new sponsor PokerStars.

I know that this month is coming to an end so it makes little sense to post about the Cake Poker Gold Card hand of the month but i will do it anyway in case someone missed it.

If you have the following Gold Cards in your vault you will be able to trade them for $500 in cash.

The five cards that you need are the Jack of Clubs, the Jack of Hearts, the Jack of Spades, the Jack of Diamonds and the Ten of Spades.

Sure $500 is a lot of money to most of us but i am still not a fan of trading a lot of high value cards for this kind of money when i know that better chances will come up in the future. When we are at series 4 or 5 next year these cards will most likely be worth a lot more. Remember that the more other players cash in their cards the more valuable your own cards become.

Recommendation for this months draw: Keep your cards unless the $500 gives a real boost to your bankroll.

In todays draw of the Cake Poker Gold Card Lottery you will probably need to be one of the more frequent players on the network in order to be able to cash in on this prize.

Everyone who has the following Gold Cards of Series 3 have won $100 in cash if the choose to collect their prize.

The cards you need in order to get $100 in cash is the 4 of Diamonds, 6 of Hearts, 9 of Spades, 9 of Hearts and the Queen of Spades.

That seems like way too many cards to give away for $100. If I had these cards i would most likely wait for a better draw unless i needed the $100 for something really important.

Todays recommendation: Do NOT cash in!

The winning Gold Card in todays draw at Cake Poker is the three of Diamonds of any series. This means that all of you players that have the three of Diamonds Gold Card are winners.

Todays prize is a satellite to the $100 000 Guarantee where 20 players will win their seat in this huge tournament.

Good Luck to all of you players who participate in this satellite today.

When you are playing poker at PokerStars.com you will be earning player points for every hand where the rake reaches at least $0.40 cent. There are several different VIP leveles in the PokerStars VIP program and the higher you clim up the ladder the faster you will generate player points.

This ladder goes all the way up to SuperNova Elite where you will earn player points at 4 times the rate of a normal player. It is just getting there that might be the tricky part.

What the points are used for
