Serries Two Gold Cards on Cake?

I've played on the site since the Series III cards started a few times.

I don't see the advantage to having 5 million gold cards just to get them to come out at the rate the Series I GC's came out. When the Series I GC's came out there were A LOT fewer GC's. I think I'm pretty close to the correct number being 260,000 GC's in Series I. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I pretty sure that's the correct number.

Wasn't it for ANY 2 of clubs and wasn't it a re-buy as well? That is a great sounding tourney don't get me wrong, but were is the reward for the Series I cards? You need to have Series specific games so the players see that how important those GC's are to get.

I'm still waiting for our PRIVATE THF Gold Cup Challenge and PRIVATE raked hand FR's that were talked about a long time ago. These are things that will bring THF players back to Cake Poker. I know there are still a few that play there, but not as many as there used to be.

All in good time, sir. There's a Series 1 only reward on the daily lottery today. Look for Series 1 only tournaments as well soon. But there will be mostly Any Series tournaments in the mix, as the players here today need a shot at prizes and not be punished for never getting cards.

There's more to come with Gold Cards later this year, but for anyone who's looking to get in on the Giveaway tournaments for cards, there's chances to get your cards now 10 times faster than this time last week.

I'll be looking for those Series I only tourneys.

I think it's funny that you don't want to punish those for never getting cards, but have evidently changed your stance on rewarding those that started playing at Cake when it was new. We were told countless times that if we played a lot and got a lot of GC's we should save them because they'd be worth more later. Now you're handing them out like wild fire and making the Series I GC's have the same value. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Anyways, I was looking forward to a reply on my question above. I'll post it again and hope that you can answer it. Thanks.

Every time you say this that time never comes around...
Yeah, we all saw this statement coming... some of us even pointed out you'd be saying it. Each time we were responded to with a "we have SO MANY things in store for you guys who hold on to your Series One Gold Cards!!!"
Does that mean lower limit players will be able to compete in the GC500s? No? Oh, I see... since "everyone" gets them 10x as fast as last week the big guys get them 25x as fast (what was it? A card every 3 hands for the big guys?). So of your 5 million gold cards being given away in Series 3, I am guessing 4,500,000 (or more) of them go to the 1% of players who make up your high limit player base. Is this safe to say? A simple yes or no will suffice, we can see right through the spin.
Pretend you are a poker player who plays .25/.50 or .50/$1 (or lower) and try to explain how it's fun? trying to get low limit players excited about this is like PokerStars trying to get $5 players excited about the TLB... you have no shot at winning but isn't it cool???

NBK, I don't control the promotions for each site any longer. That's the job of the affiliate managers. Your operator can ask for anything within their budget of our managers if they so wish it.

For the last 8 months, we've run over 30 tournaments that were Series 1 only. Why would you believe that there'd be an end to that? True, the last Series 1 only event was in Dec and you won't see them very often in the future, but they're still there. We still get tons of Series 1 redemptions for the Any series events, so there's players using up their cards all the time, even if they're not you...which works out for you in the long run. This is not a quick turn around type of promotion like the Gold Chips (earn chips, get hat), but one that will reward the most loyal and the most vigilant. And there's a few more features coming up in the coming year that will add to stable of ways to redeem cards, but I can't go into that yet.

I'm simply saying there's more cards and they're coming out faster. Have I said that you have a chance to win the GC500? Or the $52,000 Jackpot? No. But I am saying that you can get into tournaments like the $10,000 tournament we just ran with a simple 2 of clubs. Yes, there were 900 players, but 90 of them got paid and the lowest payment was $30, which isn't bad for a single 2 of clubs.

Jun 2006, we ran a 2 of clubs tournament for $50. 22 players in it, first place got $25. Feb 3, 2008, we ran an ANY Series event for the same 2 of clubs. 896 players total, first place $2,400. The same card would have gotten you into both events. That is what we mean about having more value for cards you hang on to. I will tell you that the 1st and 4th place winners of the $10,000 tournament used Series 1 Gold Cards to get in, so I'm pretty sure they're happy with their return. Wedgie54 took home cash in the $8,000 tournament we ran on Feb 2nd, if you want a local example.

Exactly, there is no chance. Your biggest promotion is completely unwinable for 99% of your players. Thank you for finally admitting what we've been saying all along.
This is what you mean? Is this what you meant for the past year or two? No? Of course not.

Understood. I wish you and everyone luck in whereever you play. We're giving out tons more cash these days and anyone who wants some for their cards they already have is welcome to come play for it. We're giving out an average of $4,000 daily though the Gold Card Daily Lottery and you're all welcome to take a slice.

I think he's saying uncle.

I'm happy that they're giving away money, I just wish that some of us had a shot at some of the bigger bonuses. I love playing there, but playing .25/.50 & .5/1 ring games I'm never going to stand a chance at placing in the Gold Cup Challenge. I guess I'll have to settle for trading in my GC's here and there in the Daily Lottery which is not nearly as profitable as the Gold Cup Challenge.
