Posted by Mipetin: Well that was fun. Nothing from the big one And completed almost all the challenges and won 1$ once. And just checked of course the only pro in the field of the 110k shootout finishes well in the money (1900, 8.80$).
No,...not what you'd call a great result,... BUT,...if you profited in the long run through the daily challenges,...plus the $1 that you did win,...then you can say at least it didn't cost you anything,...and you had about 30 pops at some serious cashola spendola...!!!
I cashed 4 $1 wins, and a $9 win I think it was in the January Shootouts, for 5 cashes in total,...and the BIG one I'm in tomorrow,...in which I expect to become $11K richer...!

Yeh I saw it earlier today. Now they sent me an email:
Regrettably, due to an unexpected technical issue, the January Bonus Challenge: All-in Shootout scheduled to take place on February 2 has been temporarily removed from the lobby, however it is launched again in the client.
The January Bonus Challenge: All-in Shootout scheduled for February 2 at 10:47 ET will now take place on February 4 at 04:47 ET, and you have been pre-registered in this tournament.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this issue may have caused and wish you best of luck in your Bonus Challenge: All-in Shootout!
Wow, just received an email, saying I finished in 137th place for $69.30
Nice!
Already got $12 from the daily ones, and a $20 profit from playing NL5 to qualify (at 11.5 bb/100), and clearing an additional $10 bonus in the process...

No, I don't play Rush/Zoom, because I don't feel I can create enough of an edge. My winrate at Party Poker (about 37 bb/100 over about 50000 hands NL4) is heavily dependent on table selection/bumhunting. I can't do that with rush. I can't do it on Pokerstars cash games either, since there are so many players, and no online table ratings available on the players.
If I would count the extra's on pokerstars though, I think in this case I had a great winrate...
I only play one table, because I enjoy that the most. Also I find it hard to really exploit the leaks, when there are many players to keep track of (even with the HEM2 hud). Adding more tables might increase the hourly rate, while dropping the bb/100 rate, but I doubt that would be the case for me (I think the bb/100 would decrease too fast for the increased hands/hour to compensate).

Well, didn't win the thing as I expected. Finished only 62nd - won 330$
It turned out to be the best promotion ever. I guess they gave me the money because they know they're going to get it back real soon with the way I play. Well, now I expect to win the Israeli lottery tommorow. Wish me luck

Noo, when I woke up today, the first thing I did was looking how the bonus all in shootout went for me. Unfortunately I only finished in place 32.465 and got nothing. I had really hoped to get in the money, for the prize pool was so big.

Not bad mate. So you have also played all shootouts as I did. I have only had just minimum cashs of one dollar too, but it were six or seven in my case. Thus I am very satisfied with the promotion, althoug I did not win in the bonus shootout.
And completed almost all the challenges and won 1$ once. And just checked of course the only pro in the field of the 110k shootout finishes well in the money (1900, 8.80$). 
, just a question have you ever played rush at ftp and if yes at howmany tables at once / what stakes and hm bb/100 did you get on avg there?
