Cakepoker gold cards
 

Anyone else addicted to these things? I have 130 of them and get excited everytime I get one. Still never had anything higher than a 7 tho.

I think there will be a way to exchange them soon. Anyone want to by a duece of clubs? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Tuco.

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

you cant trade them. I have 240 and have never gotten a card about an 9. i have every card up to 7 then like 2 8s.... so dumb. They are starting to run some small tournies for them and if the site continues to grow I guess they will be more frequent.

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

I have 340, one of which is a jack [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

The promo is not totally done yet, though that's the only info I've got right now.

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

Just to refresh this topic!

I'm interested how many gold cards the people have? Do high rollers have much more than low limit players? I play here for a month now, and i have 52 pieces of gold cards, but usually all of them are low cards, however yesterday i received an ace as well. So: how many diferent cards do you have including how many face cards?

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

what are these? what function do they have?

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

you randomly get it when you are playing, you can get intant cash bonus with them every week, but you can receive extra bonuses when you collect a certain collection from them.

there's a chart with frequencies of each card somewhere on the site. how valuable your ace is depends on the suit (for example, there's only 1 As in all of Series 2).

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

I cannot find that chart what you have mentioned :-(

lucky pup! the gold card promotion sounds MUCH better than it actually is. chances of getting an ace are insane.

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

I can't find it on Cake's site but Red Star is a skin.

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

Looks like that ace you picked up moved you ahead of the pack in the GC 500...

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

I've used a few for entry into freerolls where they have decent prize pools. Even made a few bucks [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

I've been playing on Cake for a couple weeks (not heavily - maybe a couple hours per night during the week) and have only even seen two gold cards distributed. Granted, I'm not always staring at every table at the end of a hand, but I have not come close to getting one playing 1/2 limit and $50 NL (as well as some cheapie Omaha).

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

I think it really sucks that donkament players don't get these. Presumably Cake makes as much money on a dollar of rake as they do from a dollar of tournament fees. Of course, the promo kind of sucks anyway in terms of actual money but it's still fun.

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

I havent played on cake in ages but I have a few hundred, never got anything higher than an 8 though.

You can exchange them for cash in the daily lottery, I check it occasionally and have got over $200 just from cashing them in.

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

i have 250 and nothing higher than 9 omg wtf

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

So what am I doing wrong? I have played on Cake for about two months and I don't have any Gold cards. I've only seen one in all the time I've played.

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

you don't get them much at lower limits

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

I have 5 gold cards in like 12000 hands of 50NL.

30 days after the last Series 2 Gold Card is released, the player with the most unique Series 2 Gold Cards will automatically win the $52,000. This means, even if you don't have the entire deck, you could still win the jackpot if you have more unique Series 2 cards than anyone else!

looks like it's just an excuse to give the highest volume player a nice boost.


does anyone have an estimate for what the MGR is of the highest volume players? could be worthwhile.

Yep, i have 575 gold cards, i think tthe more rake you pay, the more gold cards you get on average.

You luckboxed the ace though, i have a ton and still haven't gotten one of those.

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

I got a King of dimaonds the other day. I felt so lame that I was excited that I didnt mind my KK lost to AK with a river A for a 500 dollar pot at 20/40.

Right now I can get the 250 and 500 dollar bonus for K high flush and 6s full of Queens. I have 316 total cards since I started 2 months ago. One of the first few cards I got was a Queen and I thought it was easy, jaded me for sure.

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

Does anyone have an estimate of the value of each card?
Does the value increase with rank or stay constant?

If anyone has been tracking the lottery for a while it would be easy to see this I presume... I'm curious about them but I don't have a cake account atm.

They increase quite a bit. I think a 2 is worth a couple of bucks/there was a 3K freeroll today for the 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] gold card with 100 entries, so that's technically $30/the K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is basically $200 or so due to the guaranteed prize, etc. At some point the GC500 also factors in.

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

wait wait wait wait. how do you guys know how many hands you're playing at cake?

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

so i dont quite understand what you win if the gold card matches a hole card...

"If the Gold Card released matches one of your hole cards, you’ve struck Gold even if you have folded out of the hand."

I have a queen [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

the way it works is every so often, a gold card is randomly generated at the table. there's 260,000 of them but only one As and a whole bunch of deuces. this time, it happens to be the 3 of diamonds. what happens is everyone's hole cards are scanned for the 3 of diamonds, and at the end of the hand, the guy with the 3d in his hand gets it.

if no one has the 3d, the GC gets held over until whenever someone does.

You don't really, but you can make a guess by looking at your bonus or gold coin progress (your Cake points equate to your portion of the rake).

You will need epass to get money out of there. I don't think they even issue checks. I waited so long for mine I gave up and switched them to epass.

Re: Cakepoker gold cards
 

i have gotten 2 checks, each took about 4 or 5 weeks, this was this past summer
