Shark Cage Poker Rules
Do you want to win $1,000,000 on TV? Well, you can. You really, really can. The Shark Cage is a brand new TV show which pits online qualifiers against big name pros for a winner-take-all first prize of one million dollars. One. Million. Dollars.
And the freeroll online qualifiers start today.
Cash at the Cage is a convenient way for poker players currently in Atlantic City to deposit and withdraw funds. All transactions are guaranteed secure, much like a bricks and mortar bank. It is easy to add/withdraw funds to/from 888 poker NJ account using this banking method.
- But, the Venue does pay us (Cool Mule Poker) to bring in paying customers (players) and they also pay us for the training and league administration. What this means is that while it is ‘free’ for the players to play, the Venue has a reasonable expectation that their customers (players) will purchase a reasonable amount of food and drinks.
- Value/Bluff cards. 'Player must make each move within 30 seconds or play one of their two timebank chips. If a pot reaches the river, players may use either a 'value' or a 'bluff' bet card '. If the player using the 'bluff' card gets called and has the worst hand, they must spend an entire orbit in the shark cage.
- Although this is pretty much a given in many instances in online play, it’s another one on the ‘blacklist’ of poker’s ‘etiquette rules’. You are never allowed to collude with other players in any way in live poker. Don't Misrepresent your hand or action. This one can actually be border-line outright cheating rather than etiquette.
You could win your way into televised heats which take place at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in the Bahamas this January, as well as EPT Monaco and EPT Barcelona after that. You don't even need to win your heat, you just need to finish in the top 50. More on that below. Not only do you win in the tournament and get a shot at $1,000,000, but you also get an incredible trip!
How do I get in the Shark Cage?
First of all you need to make a deposit using one of the following bonus codes (depending on how many shots you want to take), then you need to finish in the top 50 of one of the freerolls and submit a video audition. Read on.
