i started this promo on Tuesday,for every 2 points you earn you get a card with prizes on it ( every card has a guaranteed prize). Well so far i have collected 10 cards with my prizes being $1 cash,2 tickets to $500 tourneys and a total of 31 race points,which puts me in position 2010 getting $1 if i stay there. Not a lot but it is for free,are there any other mobsters in this if so i hope you're doing well.

nice mate, keep it up
i have had $1.50, a load of race points and a freeroll ticket so far
hoping to get some more, also clearing the 30k hand missions but on fastforward i was getting smashed (seemed like i was losing to KK every hand) and p'ssed away $50 so have cut it back ad am playing normal tables, 4 tabling. means clearing points slower so not getting 5 cards a day now (not willing to play just to get cards)

Yeah it is a bad idea to go for the cards in promotions as you tends to play crazy just to get bonus stuffs and get nothing much. Also remember when pokerstars had the promos about 72o and 72s where if you win some money you can get a prize many people got abused and you saw people going all in with 72s just to get some money. It can make you do crazy thing so beware guys and good luck to all of you who is playing at the tables. Good luck and have fun and win some good money!

Aye, i started playing fastforward to get some points and i was down about $4 losing to some funny hands but i managed to get it back and made some points. I think i will switch to cash games if i'm chasing the points again. IceQueenAce have you tried the casino majors yet ? i tried it last week i went to the casino and won the 1 point you need to enter the qualifier ( you have to wager $50 to get it ) i was up $15 making $5 wagers on a spin and i lost my last 5 spins so to get the 1 point cost me $10 and i lost in the qualifier.

I wonder if some peoples mke money playing fast forward poker you play a lot of hands going not too bad and suddenly you think you have a wonderfull hand and someone have a better one. I lost twice at this game with a full against a bigger full. Fast forward is over for me. If some make money playing this game please let us know.

Aye, i've noticed that pinotte you win a few small ones and then bang your AA or KK gets hammered by 45 off hitting 2 pairs or your straight getting beat by a river flush

I suspect that unless you've got a HUD that works with fast forward, you have little chance of playing profitably. In cash games, the profit comes from knowing your opponents, which is hard to do in fast forward...
It is hard to see where you would get the edge, needed to beat the rake.

That is a great run of prizes you are having there. These sites do give away some nice free prizes and i will be trying to win some myself on Party Poker. Anytime you can get anything free is good in my book!

I have not had any decent wins on the cards.All have been points and I am way down the list so not much chance of catching up now. I have just seen that I did in fact win 20c on one of my cards.!All I want is a to win a new laptop,not much to ask for.

Get in touch with IceQueenAce she'll tell you how to do that.

Does the prizes of the cards are relevant with the limits you are playing? Cause it would be bad results playing high limits and all you got for it was some points and 20 cents Should have been like 1$ minimum

I don't know if the stakes you play have any bearing on your prizes,I think I was on a fast-forward mission playing micro fast forward when I got the 20c,maybe it is as if you play nose bleed stakes and win 20c it would be slightly insulting!! I think Ice Queen won her laptop by actually winning a tournament,could be wrong but I don't think it was just a random prize,have to say it would definitely be a greater accomplishment to win it by skill alone.
and i lost in the qualifier.
