Market to Welcome New Online Poker Site

Jan 17, 2011
Sunday launch by Everleaf network Based on this week's announcement of the Everleaf online poker network, the end of the week will be particularly good for all poker lovers, as the network will welcome a new Malta-licensed site on Jan. 16 when No Bad Beat Poker.com goes live with the beta version of its namesake and a patented game concept titled No Bad Beats Poker. According to the operator, this concept represents a “revolutionary new feature in online poker designed to protect players from bad beats, suck outs, and bad luck," and is an "evolution" in online poker to boot. "We aim to eliminate bad beats in poker, which studies have shown are the greatest frustration of poker players today,” said the company spokesman Aaron Walker, adding: "When playing popular poker games like Texas Hold'em featuring No Bad Beats Poker, you'll get your money back if you take a bad beat!" This novel approach implies that bad beats, which happen when a player gets all of his or her money in with a superior hand, and then an opponent gets the miracle cards to beat it, will be remedied for the beaten player. And even though some bad beat promos have been run by some major online poker sites, such a standing approach is revolutionary. Walker also stressed: "Poker is a competitive game of skill and strategy. With the release of No Bad Beats Poker, we offer both competitive players and frustrated players alike an alternative to maddening bad beats in standard poker.” The way it all works at No Bad Beats Poker is by tracking the win chance percentage of each player, and if an unlucky player loses despite having a high enough win percentage, they'll qualify for a bad beat in All-In situations. Therefore, in order to overturn the bad beat, any player that takes a qualifying bad beat will get their money refunded from the pot.
