PokerStars 25 billionth hand promotion....

[shdw01]

so they are having a 25% reload bonus as well as a shitload of money given away on every 1,000,000th hand.....I think 150 hands in total....the higher the limits the more money you win if you are playing on one of the 150 hands.....I'm not balla enough for the "high" but 5/10 lhe gets me in the "medium" level.....i think if I'm dealt one of the monsters I get 1200 to win and 500 for everyone else on the table.

but this bullshit is -EV by a mile....i'm losing a truckload trying to hit a miracle lottery-type freebie....


keep in mind i'm on the button....

In the 5/10 game the winner received $3450(<)<
I have some cash in there ,but i am depositing tomorrow..can't pass up that 25%<<

 

[moneyinthabank]

That 25% is a pain in the ass to get. Took me months to clear $40. I might just make a small deposit. Shdw next time raise more. At least $15. Everyone is going to call a double raise.

Best Advertising these crooks could ask for. They will pull in more than they give out.

Gotta hand it to these guys .. they sure know how to make a buck! And fast I'd like to add!

 

[WorldNumberOne]

like to know what the founding fathers of this site are worth ...

not to mention they have a site worth about 10 billion.

Watched the 1st hand hit yesterday at a .50/1.00 table and the winner of the hand got $1600...never heard the others say what they got but im guessing no more than 10% of that?

Better deal is at AP...BBJ is over 710,000 as we speak. You can play 6 tables you'll just about have it covered when it hits...

true.....me trying to hit the milestone when I have 1-6 tables open (out of a possible 50,000) isn't good odds....but there are 150 chances and I know when they are comming....

The BBJ might be a better one but after the stars promotion is better...i've NEVER been dealt on a hand that would've qualified for a BBJ....although I think you only need to be playing, not on the table?

why continue doing this carnage to yourself shdw???

 

[Rude]

90% of the winning milestone hands are from the .10cent tables

 

[shdw01]

i noticed this, but I am telling myself it is because there are 50x more of these tables during the promotion.....and ALL tables have the same amount of opportunity to hit (obv 6-man and NL is greater than 9-man limit)....

....i do not want to believe stars is hitting these on the lower limits to save themselves money

I think it is simply the swings of a gambler....things come back around and I will be the recipient of these sick hands one day

poker tonight Dante?
