Cardmates Gambling Portal – All About UK Poker & Casinos

The interrogation is over, detectives! 🔎

Your theories took very different routes, but you all landed on the same answer:

👻 ETHAN "THE GHOST" STOLE THE $100. 

 How the case came together

Some of you cracked it instantly. Rocket_Pockets spotted the letters hidden in the sticky notes: G + H + O + S + T = 👻

Others followed the clues step by step:

🔎 The Timeline: the $100 vanished between 21:15 and 21:25.

🔎 The Wrong Place: the thief wasn't reading News or a poker article, so Felix and Harry were cleared.

♠️ No Poker: Jack was off the list.

🤫 The Silent Visitor: the thief was on Cardmates but didn't post, comment or message, which cleared Oliver and Riley.

🚨 The Alibi: Danny was inactive from 21:02 to 22:04, so he was offline during the theft.

📱 The Final Trace: the culprit used a mobile device during the theft window, while everyone else was on desktop. Ethan claimed he was offline, but the evidence said otherwise. 

 👻 BUT WHY DID THE GHOST DO IT? 

 Under interrogation, Ethan finally confessed. He didn't need the money. He wanted to prove he could take the prize, leave no trace and vanish without anyone noticing. For Ethan, it was all about pulling off the perfect Cardmates heist.

He almost did 👀 If it weren't for six very inconvenient clues. 

 🏆 THE DETECTIVES WHO CRACKED THE CASE: Endevour, Dorotii, Weldon, Lawv, DavidBrian, Cipherex, Ronojohno04 Congratulations, detectives! 🎉

And thanks to everyone who played along, especially those who changed their minds, questioned the evidence and kept digging until the end. That's how a proper investigation goes. 

 Until the next mystery, mates…

I am the guy betting in position, QQ pre-flop all in on the caller who raises initially.  Based on their VPIP of over 70% I called a fish move out of position and was right, they had 5/6 offsuit flop hits and I am pretty much drawing dead (1 of 2 remaining Q's or J/J runner). I am kind of getting used to it now, even late in tournaments, but would love to know if anyone has any tips for 888Poker, it';s not really fun when the fish get the run of the river way more times than variance would suggest is possible.

Six days. Six clues. One thief.

The incident

Something strange happened on Cardmates. Our $100 community prize has disappeared. No broken doors. No obvious suspect. No one saw anything. But seven people were around when it happened - and every single one of them has a reason to look suspicious.

Hello,

My name is Ross.

I am your average low stakes grinder, who loves a good free roll or very low stakes.

I started taking poker serious at the beginning of this year, in which i have managed to grind to $1000 as of now.

Here is going to be one of my easy grind ups for you guys, this is for 888poker.

So i start by max late registering the tournament below. There is a fair few of these throughout the day on 888poker.

Because you late registered on the last 30 seconds, you will go in the tournament just before your aloud a add-on of chips, which i always do. Only 1 add-on is allowed its $0.04c for 15k chips and it will take you to ITM, sometimes you don’t even need to play hand to get to the next tournament.



Then you arrive in the Micro Rollers - 20/30 Seats GTD, and these usually only have small fields like 50/60 players and its really soft play. Once you win that you WIN your $1 ticket for the $1000 micro rollers mystery bounty, i have some nice wins from these tournaments they are very soft. Try it yourself see how easy it!

Any questions feel free to give me a shout.

Ross.

Hey Cardmates, 

Managed to get to step 3 today with a free ticket from GG.

I'm sure many of you have done this and it feels great winning back to back! I felt good and felt confident but then something changed in my mindset while looking for the step 3 tournament, I said to myself hey maybe wait and play this game a little later no need to rush, I did stop and think maybe that is a good idea, But also felt good and thought if I'm playing well why not carry on and go for the next step. 

I rushed entered a late registering game and was slapped with the BB first hand, I instantly knew I had made a mistake joining, Needless to say my head was gone and I didn't even stay long enough to warm my chair out in 24th, The dream died for today. 

But it isn't all bad we learn from these things and if I have learnt something today, It is listen to those little feelings and just take a little longer to reflect on them and taking a step back even while winning isn't a bad thing.

Feel free to share your stories.

Thanks for reading and good luck at the tables. ♠️❤️♣️♦️
