Bad Beat Jackpot - Runner runner. Suckout. Donkey. The bad beat...we’ve all taken one. It happens. Play on any listed Bad Beat table and your worst bad beat may result in the biggest pot you’ve ever won. As soon as a player loses a hand holding Quad 7’s or better the jackpot will be won. Every active player at the table will immediately receive a portion of the prize money. The player holding the losing hand will receive the biggest percentage.  The losing hand must be at least a Four of a Kind 7's and the winning hand must be at least a Four of a Kind 8's. Both the winning and losing hands must include both hole cards and at least four players must be dealt in at the start of the hand.  The hand must have generated jackpot rake (ie. $0.50).  Two or more players must be active at the end of the hand, and it must go to showdown.

VIP Rewards:  You have the option of converting some of your hard earned VIP points into cold hard cash. Once you've reached the Green tier you'll receive $10 for every 1,000 VIP points that you cash in. The higher the VIP tier you reach, the more points you'll be able to cash in each month. For full details of the rewards, freeroll entries and exclusive reload bonuses, check out the website.

Entry into the Aussie Millions Main Event can be earned through the multi table tournament (MTT) and Sit’n’Go satellites starting from as low as $2 buy-in.

VIP Program - Whether you’re a full-time grinder, a money making shark or just a casual player, the VIP program was designed with one goal in mind, to reward a player just like you.

From merchandise in their Player Rewards store to tournament seats and cold hard cash they know exactly what you want.

Shoutout Tournaments - Unlike a normal multi-table tournament where tables are balanced by moving players around, shoot out tournaments will play each table down to a set number of players in each round until there is a final table remaining.

A simple example is a Shootout tournament with 100 entrants. Ten tables with ten players each will begin the tournament for round one. The top 3 players from each table will advance, leaving a total of 30 players remaining. Round 2 will start with 3 tables of 10 and again, the top 3 players advance to the next round leaving 9 players to play at the final table! The number that move on to the next round will vary depending on the tournament.

Shootouts while exciting, require a different strategy than regular MTT’s.

THIS SITE SEEMS TO BE NO LONGER ACCEPTING USA PLAYERS - PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS CHANGES
Texas Holdem Saloon (USA OK) is a fairly new poker room available for USA players.  There aren't any details as to the number of players on this site.  The download version is not available for Mac users.  You can either play in browser or download the site in the usual way.  Available in US Dollars or Euros only.  Please Note If you are USA and considering depositing, please check with the site before making any deposit (processor problems)

First deposit Bonus

This site offers a tasty 100% up to $1,000 first deposit bonus by using code THS100.  Earn 35x your deposit amount in PokerPoints within 60 days after the deposit in order to get the bonus.  The minimum deposit is $20.

Once you have made your first deposit, you will gain access to the (what appears to be) quarterly $500 first depositors freeroll.  The next freeroll is 30th November and there are only 169 registrations.  

Reload Bonuses
   
The bonus RLD50 is a 50% up to $1000 Reload bonus. Earn 45 times the bonus amount in PokerPoints within 60 days after the deposit in order to get the bonus.

Grab-A-Grand

Looking to make a quick, extra chunk of cash? Whether you're looking for a big pool with some slight risk or a bit smaller prize with even less of your own at stakes, Texas Holdem Saloon has got your back!

Grab-a-Grand

The G-a-G is a 5 Step Series ultimately culminating in a great $1000 payout. You can get started for as little as a buck and play your way through to the 5th and final step where your prize awaits you. The best part is if you don't come out on top, there are vouchers awarded along every step of the way so you don't have to start from scratch.

The setup is as follows:



The G-a-T (Grab a Ton) 5 Step Series works identically to the G-a-G, but both the end prize and buy-ins are a 10th of the value (10c+1c). It barely costs a dime for a buy-in to Step 1 and ends with $100 in your pocket. Like the G-a-G, there'll be plenty of vouchers at every turn.

Super 2012

We’ve always been sure to give our players a chance to show their skills, have some good times and earn piles of cash at the best poker tournaments around. The upcoming Super Poker Event of Europe 2012 is no exception!

With more than 4,000 people playing at once, the Super 2012 is poised to be Europe’s largest poker tournament ever!

The tournament will run at the Citywest Conference Centre in Dublin, Ireland. Due to years of hosting the Irish Open, Europe’s oldest poker tournament, the staff at the Citywest are more than accustomed to providing poker players with phenomenal service. Combined with the on-site golf course and many amenities, the host venue will be as almost as great as the event itself!

Day 1 will start at 12:00 on Saturday 25th Feb 2012. Day 2 will start at 12:00 on Sunday 26th Feb. Day 3 (Final 8 Players) will start at 13:00 on Saturday 31st March 2012. The Final 8 players will be flown to a secure location (up to €400 flight and accommodation allowance provided) and the final table will be live streamed on the Internet.

What is everyone competing for? Just an estimated prize pool of over €1,200,000!

With a low entry fee of just €340, easy accessibility, nonstop promotion, and celebrity players every direction you look, the Super 2012 is designed to bring the highest quality experience of a premiere poker tournament to as many players as possible. This is an occasion where the game of poker takes precedence over everything else. The organizers themselves have stated that they want to open big competition poker to a new generation of players, both professional and recreational. The only question that remains is whether you want to be a part of the action or not!

To help with the cause, a SuperEvent Series will be running for the next few months and each and every week will have a final with another €1000 package to the tournament. The series begins on October 24th and the last final will run on February 12th.

Buyins are available to qualifiers/satellites for as little as 25c or if you would prefer to use your poker points, 150 points.
