Seriously! This is not poker I am sorry. Look it took me a long time to stop dissing the bingo players, if you cant beat them join them right. Today I will daub numbers for you as if it's soon to go out of fashion. But I have a shoving range and will definitely not say all in without looking at my cards.
This brings me to my biggest gripe with the abomination, you are not expected to even be present let alone look at your cards. I registered for a shootout freeroll once not knowing what it was at the time. Now usually the software would launch your table for you when the tournament starts but for some reason this didn't happen.
Searching for the tournament lobby, at this point it was already running for 5 minutes and glancing over the numbers it appears we are approaching the bubble and I am still alive. Join table and there I am holding pocket kings... sweeeeeeet. Lets see I'm in early position so lets just min raise and see what action... HEY! what the hell who said call!!! Faaaaaaark theres the bullets... OH NOOOO we're faaaanked. OUCH! done, busted, before the bubble what the faaaark happened there!?!?!?
So I've actually been winning in my absence until I obvious jinxed it by observing and that with great stock as well, wonder what I shoved before to get here. [b[Lets go all in! That's fine but I should at least have the option to fold. This is nothing more than a raffle, why not simply call it a raffle instead of tarnishing poker, tournaments, shootouts, heads up and all things near and dear by this fiasco.
I would still wonder who on earth actually signs up for this crap, staring at all these fanatics in disbelieve. This is the biggest racket since well... pyramid schemes I suppose... wake up people!
My 2 cents take with pinches of salt or not at all... nuff said

Posted by spinicrus21: where do you play this kind of game?
It is on Ppokerstarss. All you have to do is fullfill a mission for the day (you can choose between, playing cash game, two sit n goes or one scheduled tournament) and then you get a ticket for a 10.000 Dollar all in shootout.

ok mobbits you convinced me to go ahead with those shootouts. i did play the min amount required and practically guaranteed myself of top 3 finish in the $100K one, but decided its enough 0.02 games and enough of torture seeing one loss after another... guess i grown up from then and i am ready for another act of sadomasochism

i hope this bad luck with all in shootouts (ussualy already in 1st round - like what i know 70%+) means that on the final one i tackle the main prize (only 1$ for me so far )
Well, you could play shootouts in shooting ranges, laser tag and paintball places and of course on the best vacation destination Amaya can offer 4 you: Jokerstars. This one is played with cards, and you just donk and push your way through a very wide playerpool to take down the ultimate prize at the end: one dollar. Not much sweat for a buck, right?

Posted by Skpmorita: i have question the big one at the end of the month is already full did i miss my chance to play that ? i have 8/10 completed
I have completed all daily challenges so far and I do not remember to have registered for the 100.000 Dollar all in shootout. But I can search for my name and see I am in. I guess it happens automatically. And do not worry one is full, but another one is still open. There only 20.000 are registered so far.

Unfortunately I could not play an all in shootout today, although I have fulfilled my challenge, because my internet connection was completely down. Yesterday I won nothing, but the day before I have had another minimum cash of one Dollar.
(only 1$ for me so far
