Posted by jeffaboy: Seems like a really good promo tbh since you can play mtt's for as low as 2 cents each some free money to be made there
My thoughts exactly. it will be the spin and go ones that could get expensive. $81 down if you lose every one. I will do the others first and see where that leads me, I think

Seems like a straightforward enough promotion from our friends at pokerstars. Maybe I will give it a go, I haven't played at stars for a while and fancy getting back into it so this could be a reason. As for who it's available to, it's advertised on Pokerstars UK so may be it is only for UK players!

I adviced my girlfriend ( as she is playing now) to register and donk the 2 cent mtt's 990 players or just sit them out completely (waste of time and earnings to play ) and try to play 1$ spin and go's with a goal to break even , so far she has unlocked 3 golden tickets from the spins and $3 profit. curious to see where it will end up at the end of the night , going to try and help her unlock atleast 2 of the 3 puzzles tonight by means of some coaching and helping out where needed

golden tickets, or the $20,000 tickets? I think they are different and I read it as golden tickets being hard to get

looking at pay tables the odds of getting a cash prize are about 10% so one cash prize for each puzzle, 3 in total for $15 would be a good expectation (though im aware you could run bad and get none, or run good and get more)

Success done the Spin & Go chalange , all 9 tickets already used , hoping for the best as i lost only 1$ , return me the 1 $ please
Besides i was bumping all 5 at once , so not a bad run i think , sometimes i thought why do i do it to my self as it's hard to be good at 5 or even 6 tables in just fue seconds

Well this promotion seems to be pretty good. I will most definitely play all the tournaments or sit n goes for the Ronaldo Nazario puzzle. This is the cheapest way to win something and I do not like playing these spin n goes.

Since Amaya is running the ship they decentralized all their websites starting with jokerstars. Means you could probably read their promos on their 'localized' sites with your own language but anytime you try to open a link with somebody elses local PS webaddress in it just going to be re-routed back to yours 'cuz it will recognize you again - based on IP address/browser language/system setup. Not sure it's good for us, but it is what it is.

Seems decent i got two allin tickets for spins so far. Think for JJ ill use my regular stategy and just push allin preflop and hope for all folds. Worked for me in one of the other challenges so hopefully will work n not lose to many buyins in the mean time

The spin and goes you only havta play 63 i believe. 7 games x 9 blocks
I just got JJ twice after playing about 500 NL2 zoom hands. I've been running pretty hot too, lots of big pairs and sets/flushes when I need them xD
First time I raised 3x everyone folded and got 5$ from the challenge, second time there was a raise to 7c and a 3bet to 19c before me so I just called cause I thought 3better most likely had KK or AA. Flop came J 6 8, guy open shoved with QQ, 3better called him with KK, and obviously I called too with the nuts.
Also Im a bit more than even after playing about 20 1$ SpinNBingoes, and all I won is 2$ ones. Running some 2 cents MTTs to clear the other bonus will be pretty easy. This promo shouldn't be to hard to clear in 1 month. Hopefully some of us will cash in the all-in shootouts too!
Had a little downswing this afternoon mostly due to many suckouts in zoom. Worst hand was when one guy open shoved JJ pre flop, I called with AA, another guy took almost all his time then called with 22 (with around 250 BBs in his stack ). Flop came KK then the guy with pocket deuces rivered his full house lol. Funny thing is it was obvious I had KK or AA, and that's probably why the guy called with 22... hoping to get lucky. Also got JJ like 5 hands later when 2 guys had AA and KK, that one was hard to dodge with the promo. Then I got top set with KK and lost to a river flush xD Kept grinding and got almost all of my losses back though.
Then I got lucky to get another 5$ and a 25$ in the puzzle and then won like 7/10 spinNBingoes (finally won some 6$ ones too) so made a good profit there This promo has already given me 35$ and tons of tickets, and I only have about half of it cleared

Well, it took me around 1.5 hours at the zoom tables.. but it depends at what buy-in level you play i guess. I got all JJs , played like a maniac and won each time. In the end i would be $2 down if one of the pieces didnt gave me 10 bucks

Yesterday I started the challenge by playing five tournaments on Ppokerstars. The good news is that I am already in plus moneywise. Today I will go on playing and should receive my first price by tomorrow. Let us see what it is.
some free money to be made there
