Posted by StheP: so he did something that happend once in couple of billion times.... that is incredible... like you said chances to get it once are 1:1.000.000 and he hit it twice in couple of hours...
I think our hero should start buying lottery tickets as well...

well i guess that's why they call his hero, right? now all that is left is to heroically move to the high stakes poker tables and lose it all to other hero's and we have a hollywood drama in the making... not bad really 1:100,000 odds don't look that long after this dude's performance...
There is such an expression in Russia - a fool is lucky ..... and this is often confirmed .... I'm probably not quite a fool and I therefore do not have such crazy wins ... probably .... but I believe that at some point and I'm lucky

very nice winning for everyone who was involved at this blast tournament and to win for only 30 $ at least 30K,its big success,but its one time chance and its better if you can get first prize!but this is small number of this kind payout for small buy in!
Yeah who knows if it was tilt. He lost the opportunity to win in the first huge multiplier at 1$ buy-in but he didn't lose anything there he won 1000$ for finishing last. He may be a bit disapointed but I doubt he was on tilt. He probably just decided to go up to 5$ because his bankroll could now easily support playing that level.
I wonder why he went up to 30$ though, a 1000$ BR isn't really enough for that level considering the very high variance involved in blast SnGs.

He was feeling lucky and gambled for it He could play 33 games with a 30$ buy in. Winning one with a good multiplier would make him some profit. In this case, he didnt even have to win it, to get an awesome prize. Last position with 30k its like a dream come true.
I agree with tropical the only way to win with the blasts is to hit a big multiplier otherwise bankroll will go downhill. I played over a thousand of these since the start of the year and biggest multiplier hit was a 10x.

That is some serious number there, playing all that blast games and yet not a good multiplier. I hope you are on the plus side. And by reading about this players luck, someone wonders, how many he had played, till the moment he got the two big hits.

Its a shovefest at the 2x multiplier the odds of hitting a 100x is 1 in 2500. I broke even with a lot of gold tokens.

There are a lot of 2 multiplier, off course, but the chance to win a big cash prize was interesting. And in the micro Blast games you can find a lot of gambler without a plan. I like this kind of games, verry fast, but it was not so easy to go not on tilt

I guess you are right vie about the fest. At least for the low buy ins, there must be many players treating it as an all in game. So if you dont hit a big multiplier winning some of your money back, you can only hope on getting even like you in terms of bonus from playing the specific format.
If you are getting even though, i bet you are still playing them hoping on the big X Good luck hitting max.
