Yesterday in another post i said that i was happy of having win only tickets in the PS promotion and that it was over for me but i could change my mind.
So late last night i did change my mind and entered in zoom cash game after just a few minutes had nothing so i ticked the sit me out next BB but i was next BB and no sat out. I thought that i would play a few more hands and decided to come back.
I then won a little pot which brought me a bit over my buy in and a few hand after that here they come on late position J J in front of me there was a raise and a call it come to me and was afraid a bit of the raised but i shoved and the two other players folded. Won the pot and a nice $10.00 from the promo.
Grats Master Sifu thats some nice win. Step by step and soon you there. Win more of those by the way - only bigger.
Dont know nothing about this promo and if u care or somebody else to explain a bit i would b very gratefull cause i plan to depozit on PS. Yea i know i talk s**t on their behalf but wasnt myself it was just bad luck and my alter ego which goes like HULK SMASH!

Cheers and have a nice one!
first of all , nice job monsieur pinotte! 2nd of all ill explain u a bit matey so you go to your pokerstars challenges screen and activate the challenge , now there are 3 puzzles with 9 pieces of each puzzle , one c.ronaldo , you play 7 spin and go games for a piece of the puzzle and every piece can give you a reward from a all in shootout ticket to almost 8k in cash and a golden ticket with a shot at a million, also you got ronaldo nazario puzzle which means you have to play 9 mtt's or sng's for real money ( word of advice take the 2 cent mtt's for maximum profit) and one neymar Jr puzzle, you have to get j-j and win the hand in either normal holdem or zoom poker. so have a good grinding my friend

It is definetly a promotion worth clearing, except maybe the spin n go part. And even if you get only tickets, I think it's still nice to have some chances to win free cash. When I played like 1500 hands of zoom and got only 2 JJ I was kind of bored but then I started hitting them every 200 hands or so. It's pretty easy to clear if you play 2-3 zoom tables. And obviously the sit & go one is very easy if you abuse the 2 cents BI ones.

< Nice going partypinotte...!!! Nice little extra prize...!
< Playing the J J in pretty much any way the cards come, or preflop is practically a requisite... it IS a requisite...! Just play em and pray... You may not get another chance for a while...!

You got them in a very place UTG. I would have shoved pre flop however i am pretty sur that the guy with the A 9s had a big stack and he would have called and i would have lost my buy in.
You get them so rarely that you are very unlucky to be at the wrong place. However i maybe wrong saying he would have called a shoved will never know.
I would say just play the hand normally, don't think about the promotion. It was pretty obvious that he was never gonna fold on that river. But good try anyways. You were the agressor the whole time and that's good, but with that turn and river there's no way he's folding after calling with air on the flop... Guy was going for the runner runner nut flush and ended up with 2 pairs.
The promotion is what made you do this bluff. Normally you would've probablly not tried this on such a wet board. All 3 overcards to your jacks on the board, that's never good

ofcourse I wouldnt try this, to bluff 3 streets, when there is 3 over cards.... I know he had something... thats why I bet big on flop to represent str8... I was praising for str on river, I couldnt get it
------------ THIS HURT, phucking JJ, from 2k hands I only got them 5x and 2x lost

nice one pinotte a free 10$ is a free monies , it is always nice glad you feel ok about this promotion , hoping you get much bigger prizes in the future
you should have given up after the flop they gave you JJ in the first position , they take away the possibility of 3-bet or shove he got lucky calling that flop with ace high , and then with his stupid small bets you tried to make him fold but he hit a runner runner two pair , nothing you can do

Nothing you could do on this one very unlucky. I do not know if you can but on this one you lost 2 buy in in one pot. Are you able to just keep a lower stack.
will play again later to see will they come 
so you go to your pokerstars challenges screen and activate the challenge , now there are 3 puzzles with 9 pieces of each puzzle , one c.ronaldo , you play 7 spin and go games for a piece of the puzzle and every piece can give you a reward from a all in shootout ticket to almost 8k in cash and a golden ticket with a shot at a million, also you got ronaldo nazario puzzle which means you have to play 9 mtt's or sng's for real money ( word of advice take the 2 cent mtt's for maximum profit) and one neymar Jr puzzle, you have to get j-j and win the hand in either normal holdem or zoom 
Nice little extra prize...!
