Full Flush Poker and Equity Poker Network host a $50,000 guaranteed multi-table tournament to commemorate their first year in operation, details within.

Equity Poker Birthday Bash!





Despite a bit of rough news for the network as a whole over the past couple of weeks Equity Poker Network’s (EPN) flagship site Full Flush Poker is gearing up for its first birthday and celebrating it in style. Full Flush Poker (FFP) will host a $50k guaranteed Birthday Bash multi-table tournament on Sunday, November 9th at 5pm ET. This MTT will sport a $35 + $3.50 direct buy-in or gold bars entry fee. There will be unlimited rebuys for the first hour and an add-on during the first break. First place is guaranteed to be at least $10,000 USD and there is a large chance that it overlays, if recent history continues, providing excellent value for all players. *The most recent Sunday Major, The Big Fat 15k, recently had a $4,000 overlay and this tournament is more than three times the size, do the math!



1 Year in Review: EPN and FFP





Full Flush Poker is the flagship online poker site for the Equity Poker Network and was the first to start operations both with freerolls and real money cash games and tournament poker. Full Flush Poker had a soft launch at first by offering weekly freerolls that allowed players an opportunity to start playing on the site and network without investing any of their own money. After 5 weeks of freerolls the cash games started to slowly trickle into existence.

As other skins have been added the total number of players has risen steadily and they currently sit at 28th in the world with 240 average players over the past 7 days and a 24 hour peak of 489 players according to GameIntel.com. EPN offers a very aggressive rake structure at the small and mid-stakes and this has allowed it to get larger games going than what you may expect. Equity Poker Network with all of their skins also boasts a healthy tournament schedule that appeals to players of all buy-in levels.





The software has steadily improved as well. Your friends at Professional Rakeback have an in-depth review of Full Flush Poker software and more. Payout times at FFP are also very good with players reporting at various places throughout the Internet and directly to us that they are receiving their money in less than 7 days with all methods and under 4 days if Western Union or Money Gram cash transfer services are utilized. These are all substantially faster than the posted wait times by Equity Poker Network. They received an 8.8 rating and 5 star outlook assessment based on real reports of payout times by Professional Rakeback players and players on various forums such as 2+2 and Pocket 5s.

Rough Bit of News for EPN - Or Maybe Not?





On the surface it would seem that The Equity Poker Network (EPN) has had a few rough weeks recently brought on by losing two skins. 5dimes Group which is one of the world’s premier sportsbooks severed ties with the website in hopes of creating its own standalone site. There had already been some segregation of the 5dimes players and the rest of EPN players, so this wasn’t the most surprising of moves, nor will it make a dramatic difference in the number of players at the tables.

The other skin to leave was Bettor Poker, but this is not as much of a concern as it might sound, as they made up less than 1% of the total player pool. Bettor Poker also never had a true cashier, so EPN isn’t going to have to scramble that much to make up for the loss of this particular skin. So despite the losses over the past couple of weeks, they are small in real terms, and shouldn’t send up any red flags about the site or the network.

When we take a look at an authority site and industry leader such as Game Intel, we see that since November 1st, when EPN lost the 5Dimes group and shortly after Bettor Poker, that the cash game traffic has actually improved and not faltered! In fact player numbers appear to be up five to ten percent since then!
