Hello, i am playing some Blast on 888poker, 4 at a time with $1 buy-in. Fist time i went, 4 x $5 ( it's good ), 1st place, 2nd, 3rd and 4th, $1 profit. BUT the next one right after my 4th blast, $100 pop up. Unlucky right? Well, it goes worst. I decided to take a break, came back after 2 mins, and registered again for 4 blast. got 1x$5 and 3x$2. won the $5 and 2x $2. BUT guess what... AGAIN... the next one after me, got a $1000 prize-pool. How unlucky can i be? I will register again for, 4. if the next one after my table is $10.000 i will jump off the roof. The biggest prize for me was 10x buy-in ... and played a lot of them. 80% of 888poker club points were made from Blast . From Level 34 to lvl 41.

No, that's what i said. I registered in 4 blast at a time, but the 5th one got $100 and $1000 not my tables. I was at 1 table away ( registered few sec too soon ) and didn't got the $100 and $1000 tables. For $100, 3rd place $15, 2nd place $25 and 1st place $60. For $1000, 4th and 3rd get $100, 2nd $200 and 1st place $600.

Wow guys you are playing some serious games with big buyins, you probably have a lot of money and are very good players. I keep on playing freerolls mostly and then if i win something i play small buyin sit and gos and maybe some tournament with loe buyin. Good luck to you

I'm not really sure, but it seems that was a fake and not only unlucky at this site. Every time a big prize pool after your playing was verry strong in my opinion. But i wish you more luck next time

well fellas this is the true reason i am investing my money into weed and vodka, and also some occasional melons... at least nothing is rigged in this department. i just don't have the nerve to play/work for few hours in front of the screen and not get rewarded for that.... fcuk it.

IMO the worst think to do is when you are in an unlucky day is to go in an higher buy in to compensate for your lost.
You are in a bad day you were already losing $60.00 so the best think to do is quit the game and come back another day maybe with an higher buy in it could be one of these lucky day.
But if you lose a few again you leave take your loss and come back another time with your regular buy in.

Hi, qzmag. I can feel your pain. Well, sometimes not knowing is better than knowing, isn't it? Some people may think that the best things in our life happen by chance. The next boom is coming. Best of luck to you!
Yeah your odds of hitting a top prize on blast sit n goes is way better then over on Poker stars with 1 in an million 12000x multiplier then next one drops way down to 240X. I played a lot of the blasts with the recent treasure map promotion biggest one I hit was a 10X.
I don't even understand the blast format. I mean, with spin n goes and spin n go heroes atleast there's no all-in timer... The structures don't last too long but atleast in the end it's gonna be your decision. I get it that rooms want to make as much cash as possible but why had more element of luck to poker? It already has enough as it is. Makes zero sense to me to play this format!

yeah i'm with the machine dude on this one- not really smart enough to wiggle my brain cells around this blast format, i guess i am too old for this, or too stupid... or maybe a combination of both. bring back the good old chinese infested dons, and ban all the blasts, zooms and craps.

damn, that blows. Is there a way you can just not check what the next prizepool is? Cause maybe it's better to not know, if that is an option...No sense doing your head over an RNG

I dont know if i think you are unlucky kore or nust that this format us hard to play and win for playing long time, maybe hust some short wins, but it is very hard to predict all the scenarios, i dont like these games, better just some normal cash game or doubke or nothing sit and go, with not too fast blincs. Less luck needed here, less surprises, less bad emotions
