Player Traffic 7/10

Aced Poker has a relatively high volume of traffic for being so new. I see more than 3,000 people on at non peak hours and around 10,000 at peak hours.

Once players have opened the software they are greeted by the News Page Aced hasn’t slacked on table design. Players may select what sort of game they want from the tabs such as cash games, tournaments or SNG’s and then with the filter they can specify exactly which type of game they want within that sector. The appearance is highly appealing and full of features. Players benefit from features such as chat smileys, odds once players are all-in, ‘run it twice’, and ‘rabbit hunt’ in which the winner of the pot can choose whether they wish to see how the rest of the community cards would have been dealt out.  READ MORE

Outs is a revolutionary poker rewards system where players receive points for tasks completed. The tasks range from getting a four of a kind all the way up to winning three tournaments in a row. These points can be used to play in tournaments, buy items in our store, and much much more. Think they’re too easy? Think again, we’ll periodically add more, some easy, some hard, some off the wall! So the question is…how many outs do you have?

You can use the VIP Points you are awarded to exchange for cash, register for tournaments, or purchase items in our store!

Got an idea for an Out? Email us at outs@aced.com and we will reward you if we use it.

Note: Where appropriate, a player must be playing at a table with at least 6 players to receive credit for an Out.

To receive the points for an Out, all you have to do is log in to the player admin and submit the Hand ID for which the Out was achieved.

Someone makes a big bet at you; you are going to fold but want to make him think about it…what do you do? Now at Aced Poker you can expose 1 card. This is just another addition at Aced Poker to make you feel like you are in a live game. Don’t just fold, expose 1 card and really keep them guessing.

To expose one card, simply click on the card you would like to display, and click fold. To be able to expose 1 card, you will have to be the last to act. Remember, if you want to show both cards, you can! Just click on both cards and click fold.

When you expose 1 card, it can shake an opponent more than just simply folding. For example if you make a bet with top pair and a weak kicker, and your opponent moves all-in over the top of you, you can chose to expose one card and really create the table image you are trying to obtain. Use expose 1 card to your advantage to maximize profits.

Bad beats are a part of poker. Bad beat jackpots are now as well. Now when you take a poker bad beat, you don’t have to throw your keyboard across the room, because you just got paid! Our bad beat jackpot is one of the best in online poker. Taking a poker bad beat is now fun, and rewarding.

In order to qualify to for the bad beat jackpot, you need to be playing at one of our bad beat poker tables. They are labeled in the lobby, just look for Bad Beat in the title. The best part about it is you don’t even have to be on the receiving end of the bad beat. The winning player will also win a percentage of the bad beat jackpot. Not only are the losing and winning players paid, but if you are sitting at the table and dealt a hand in the bad beat hand, you win as well!

Here is the bad beat jackpot payout table:

• 35% of the Bad beat jackpot goes to the losing player
• 17.5% will go to the winning player
• 17.5% will be spread out to other players at the bad beat table (must have been dealt a hand and not sitting out)
• 20% will go back into a new bad beat jackpot
• And Aced will receive 10% of the pot.

You have seen it on tv, now do it on your own…online! Aced Poker now has the option available to deal it twice online at our no limit texas holdem tables. You can deal it twice anytime two players are all in on the flop, and consent to deal it twice.

Deal it twice will give two players that are all in the option to have the turn and river community cards dealt twice. Both players must agree to deal it twice, and if one or both of the players do not agree the turn and river will be dealt only once like normal. Being able to deal it twice online is a great addition to our online poker room.

The great thing about dealing it twice is now when you push all in, you will have the ability to hit your draw twice, or give yourself better odds to win your money back incase your opponent is on a big draw. For example, you hold Ah Ad and the flop is 7s8h10c. Your opponent pushes all in, and you think you are not sure if he is holding something like 79, or if he has two pair and is trying to get you off a draw. This is a great time to deal it twice to protect the money you have already invested, while still giving yourself a great chance to win the pot.

Deal it Twice Conditions:

• Deal it twice is only available on real money no-limit texas holdem ring games
• Dealing it twice can be done when only two players are all-in on the flop, and no other players are active in the pot
• Dealing it twice can be chosen pre-flop, or on the flop. However only turn and river cards are dealt twice
• Deal it twice will only be available at certain tables at specific stakes, login to the Aced lobby to find tables that allow you to deal it twice online
