I totally misunderstood how this ticket giveaway works. I did PM you Tammy, but I was rushing with accusations. I'm sorry in advance and I don't feel like I'm worth getting a ticket now, so I will not post to this thread again.

You're always sweet. Sorry for my rage. Happy new year!

So next try, maybe better luck this time
If i would have the 1k, i would make a pko tournament for the community, because i have learned to love this type of poker

This is an important question, cause many people took seriously the first round, and new ideas requires the fact that we should overthink our latest answers. In addition, so many ideas were shown first time, so probably we have to creat even more originals. This round will be harder, but we can make it. Another fabulous prizes, good luck everyone.

Add 10 additional $100 freeroll games.
Make them Silver Level so that most can play.
Do not make them regular holdem there are other variants of Poker and this is the Best Poker Forum not just a No limit Holdem Forum.

10 Games:
Pot Limited Omaha
No Limit Omaha Hi./Lo
Progressive Knock Out
Progressive Total Knock Out
Headsup Shootout
Razz
Horse
2-7 No Limit Single Draw
5 Card Draw
6+ Holdem

I had a second idea of a Cardchat Private Ring Cash Game. With the $1000 being used for a $500 Monthly Leaderboard and a $100 Weekly Leaderboard. There is one big issue with this - getting tracking of points. You will need Pokerstars to be onboard to setup the table(s) and send the results.

{Bonus Tip for those who read my post - Make sure and log onto your Pokerstars account on 31st December they giving away free Blowout tickets for just logging in}

Congrats to the winners off round one and GL on your games.

I would add 2 tournaments a month with $ 500 in prizes each. My ID stars: -xgeb-

I wold create a monthly tournament 1000 dollars for cardschat FRC members

If you could add $1000 a month to CardsChat events at PokerStars, what would you do?

I probably would share 1000.- between these "ideas" (so they all get something or whatever)

* Would create some homegames so everyone would be able to play but at the same time making sure you could get potential winnings via Skrill and/or Neteller aswell and not just via Paypal ...
* Right now there are freerolls/freebuys for 4 locations (UK,CA,GER,BRA) - i would make them available for people from Scandinavia and former Soviet countries aswell ...
* Still would bring back that 3.30$ buy-in game.
* Would create some centrolls which would give out tickets.
* Have atleast one bounty tournament so would have chance to practice military strategy even more.
* Cut blind levels (atleast) by half in freerolls cause (Cardchat) freerolls should not last 4 or more hours ...
* Would host Trouble Double more regularly but with rules of not getting to choose same partner as last year (or every actually) and instead everyone could be automatically paired together so exitement of not knowing who you may get should still be there (or not) ...
* Maybe increase prizes in league games etc (so i would start playing in them one day although we all know this is not going to happen)
* Increase prizes in current saturday´ s second freeroll aswell as monthly one + making them available to silver level cause there is no urgent need to have free lunches - anyone who would want to play these games should be capable of working hard to gain access ...

I will add a weeklly Pot Limit Omaha 6max. For us to have a weeklly 300 NLH and a 250 PLO 6max.

Hi Tammy,

This is my first post!

My idea for the $1000 a month would be:

$1000 streamers only tournament

Streamers can have no audience to large audience to enter, the only rule would be that they must stream the tournament!

This would be fun, entertaining and also provide a huge marketing opportunity for CardsChat on a monthly basis! A real community event which promotes CardsChat & helps poker streamers have some great content

Best of luck to all the other entries

It should be important to put weekly tournaments (2 tournaments per month with $500 in prizes) open to the loyals to encourage more people to dedicate themselves to earn bigger rewards.

I would add three $250 freerolls by Platinum:
1. Tournament Bubble Rush
2. Knockout Tournament
3. Tournament with the same awards for 30-40 seats
4. And $250 freeroll for beginners (silver) only.

Thanks to the CardsChat for the freerolls and the tournaments.
Thank you for being there.

nick pokerstars ; el_soma77

If I had the good fortune to distribute $ 1000 dollars in cardchats events, I would divide them in the following way, 4 weekly tournaments of $ 250 dollars to distribute blinds every 10 minutes and a total of 1000 people selected per continent.

During the monthly freeroll,

15 minutes into the tourney

Select 50 random tables.
Select 1 random seat per table through RnG.
That selected seat wins $20 whether they win the tourney or not. It spreads out the $1k to various members. Cause I'm sure that $20 will be used in other games.

If you have a new idea, we would prefer that. But if not, that is OK too - but rather than copy/paste, if you could paraphrase it or add to it in some way so that it is not exactly the same text.

It's ok. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. I hope you reconsider and enter the contest.

Well, a monthly home game tournament for active members only. The members with at least 30 quality monthly may qualify to this tournament, and they will receive the instructions on their mailbox. i.e. club ID, invitation code, cardschat alias.

3-2x22MTT ticket + 41$
4-2x16.5$MTT ticket + 32$

If I had 1k per month, it would be a way for my daughters to get ahead forever and boost my career once and for all! Greetings from Patagonia Argentina

Sorry, I did not realize

Thanks for another opportunity for some tickets,
I would really like to see a 1k deep stack tourney with 15 minute blinds and no late registration or at max until the first break.

Thanks again
Ron112355 on PokerStars

I got one interesting suggestion about why not increase your 200$ monthly tournament to 1200$ and only for Platinum club members. It's kind of nonsense to have 300$ weekly tournaments and monthly 200$ you have to increase your monthly tournament prize.
Also another option to make a Special monthly tournament with a 1k$ prize with a buy-in of 1$ or also every week to divide by 250 $ and make also with buy-in with an additional tournament same as the Partypoker tournament that you have already.

I would do some freerolls for $ 1000 so that someone can win them by showing their skills) Thanks for the drawing and good luck in the new year. I really hope that the second round will be better than the first

I would hold weekend tournaments and
Three Saturdays of 100 and three Sundays of 200 so that the people or members of the forum have the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned in poker to win a part of the money and give them the opportunity to increase their bankroll and thus increase their competitive level

Pokerstars id: josswueralex and thanks for running the giveaway

If you could add $1000 a month to CardsChat events at PokerStars, what would you do?
I would add a freeroll for this amount in the form of tickets at the end of each month for PokerStars (platinum club members) Prize places would look something like this..
1 place-215$ (ticket)
2 place-109$ (ticket)
3 place-109$ (ticket)
4 place-55$ (ticket)
5 place-55$ (ticket)
6 place-55$ (ticket)
7 place-55$ (ticket)
8 place-22$ (ticket)
9 place-22$ (ticket)
10 place-22$ (ticket)
11 place-22$ (ticket)
12 place-22$ (ticket)
13-33 place-11$ (ticket)
In general, something like that! it would be great, our players could get some kind of ticket once a month and try themselves in tournaments where they had not played beforeI would do exactly that if it depended on meBut lastly, I wish you all more luck next year and of course health.Happy New Year!!!

In honour of the cardschat-PokerStars Blowout Series promotion ( ) it's my pleasure to present to you the...

PS-CC Annual Blowout Series

Every month January through November there is a PS-CC Blowout event. This consists of a cardschat freeroll on Stars with a $500 prize pool.

At the beginning of December there is carnival hysteria for the PS-CC BIG Blowout event! This behemoth of a cardschat freeroll weighs in with a hefty $5.5k* prize pool.

The astute among you might notice that's only $11,500... No, I'm not assigning myself a $500 bonus for this peach of an idea..

I think It'd be nice if the $500 could be awarded to a single PS-CC BIG Blowout non-ITM finisher randomly. I.e. anyone who played, but didn't cash, in the big game. Lots of other possibilities for it too though.

In order to qualify for the final you need to play at least five of the monthly PS-CC Blowout events. The series is open to all Silver/Platinum cardschat members.

This concept not only celebrates the Blowout Series on Stars itself and cardschat's related competition, but also would generate a ton of interest in the cardschat community and also promote year-round activity.

That's about it folks!

Oh, besides for, if it were a possibility I'd host the Series via Home Games to enable more of the community to compete and for access control.

Thanks cardschat and PokerStars for the opportunities!

Big Love.

*Biggest cardschat freeroll prize pool yet?

I would like OMAHA tournaments, at least once a month
PS: LegagyCC

I had new ideas, I hope you like it: This time I would divide the amount into 4 parts.

Three weekly special events with a prize of $ 200 and qualifiers for the tournament of last week of the month worth $ 400.

Event 1 (week 1) Seniors No-Limit Hold’em Championship (Must be at least 50 years of age) - $200
The top three finishers qualify for the special event of the last week of the month.

Event 2 (week 2) Ladies No-Limit Hold’em Championship - $200
The first three places are qualify for the special event of the last week of the month.

Event 3 (week 3) Last Chance No-Limit Hold’em Championship - $200 (tournament open to all cardschat's users)
The top three finishers qualify for the special event of the last week of the month.

Special Event (week 4) - One table, the best nine players of the month:
Main Event of the month (the best nine of the month) No-Limit Hold’em Championship - $400
Tournament with only 9 players, a final table. The top three players from previous weeks' tournaments of the month will face each other in the monthly championship.

I believe it would be a lot of fun to participate and also to watch these tournaments.

If you could add $1000 a month to CardsChat events at PokerStars, what would you do?

to promote participation drive efforts towards silver/platinum membership milestones, i would create 4 bi-monthly tournaments 2 at silver level ($100 each) tournament 12% ITM & a bi-weekly platinum level freeroll ($200 each) knockout tournament 12% ITM to also include for bronze level a weekly play money freeroll geared towards giving top 10 a chance to participate in the upcoming silver level event and 1st place a chance to participate in the upcoming platinum event (also for this silver players may also play for that 1st place chance to enter platinum event).This would culminate with a grand end of month knockout bash for $400 for all top 25 finishers across all 4 events for closed game of 100 players, 50 silver champions facing off against 50 platinum champions to see who will be the ultimate victor!!!

I would still love to see Asian Freeroll on PokersStars by CardsChat. I think everyone deserves a piece of the action especially from CardsChat community expanding it's interest across the Globe and the same passion of playing the game.

ps : ben_ammar_13
i would add a monthly 1k$ tournament for the FRC members , like the ones going for brasil - canada - germany but this one would be for the rest of the world that couldnt benefit from those tourneys )

PokerStars username: gabryyyel31

If I could add that 1000$ I think I would organize a tournament called 'FRIENDSHIP TOURNAMENT' in which everyone with regular activity on the forum is welcome.

The distribution of prizes would be a little different than in a normal tournament in the sense that I would offer a prize between 1-5% of the total prize pool as consolation for the player who leaves the tournament "in style" or otherwise said by the most brutal bad beat. We all know how painful it is to get out of a tournament in this way, and this award would bring a smile on the face of the 'unlucky player' and so the ''great misfortune'' would actually turn into a small luck.
The choice of the ''unlucky'' or in fact the lucky one would be made by a transparent vote, by all the moderators or the other participants in the tournament.

Then half of the remaining amount would go to a classic cash prize pool, and the other half, instead of money I would offer some Cardschat brand merch products. Money is often guests in our pockets, they come and go, but to win an object or a small gift, something for the soul, this it stays for life. It is very cute to wear a clothing item or just looking at a certain object, and to remember many years later that the gift is from the best and nicest poker community. And as any fairy tale ending would say: he enjoyed it and wear it happily ever after.

I also conclude by saying HAPPY NEW YEAR to all the community, stay and celebrate responsibly with those close and loved by you. Cheers. 🤩🥰🥳🍾🥂🎆🎉🎁

"If you could add $1000 a month to CardsChat events at PokerStars, what would you do?"


I would make some promos with free 50$ bankrolls for winners (possible 50T$), for example 4 giveaways each week for top 5 winners. It would be quiz or test on poker themes, for example - best poker analysis of interesting hand with closed cards.It will make cardchat more popular i think and will give some people chance to make their bankrolls ! The less start amount (50$) means that more people will have chance from a total 1000$.

Yes, i would still do a PKO Tourney available for all members..or maybe 2 for 500,- each..i know this does not sound very original, but it`s what i like to play the most.
A PLO PKO would also be possible...for maybe 200..so 2x NLHE PKO for 400 each and 1 PLO PKO for 200 to add some variety!
Could even add a little 0,10 Add-on to get more money into the Pot..

I would hold a small buyin tournament on Saturdays ($2 buyin), giving away 2 ($109) tickets to the Sunday Million along with 5 tickets to the Sunday Storm ($11) the following day.

A $109 Sun.Million ticket to the winner of a monthly leaderboard from Pokerstars daily freerolls might also be something to consider

I think if Cardschat held a micro buyin on Stars they'd be surprised by the size of the turnout (Partypoker game now has ~70entrants).

That ^ is what I would do.

What do I think Cardschat should do...

Give a ticket to Pokerstars Sunday Storm for every Sunday for all of 2021 to MTCashman... for being the all-time most winning member in the CC freeroll leaderboards. His dedication has been amazing!

AND....

Hold a Monthly tournament on Pokerstars called "The MTCashman". A $3 buyin with $252 in tournament tickets added. (ie. 1st = $109 SundayMillion ticket, 2nd - 5th $22 mini Sunday Million tickets 6th-10th $11 Sunday Storm ticket.

it will be great if you can win tickets to various events in CardsChat!! for example, for 1000$ you can play the 909 tickets to the Sunday storm in the deadline sattie pokerstars . $1.10 75 seats gtd!! that's 30 tickets a day! you can also include other events with a large buy-in so that community members can try their hand with those who play not only in freerolls, but also take a prize and get a significant win!
