This promotion sucks no fixed limit option I was completing it last two days on zoom 77 flop top set lose to higher set on the river. Pick up AA vs JJ the J hits next hand I pick up QQ vs KK flop top set lose to a flush on the river I think Amaya will rake more in then they payout in this promotion.

ofc they do rake more, they always rake more than they pay out. thats a casino rule lol
this promotion is very smart. the average percentage on players per flop increased. they all hunting flush to complete the promotion. i see every 2nd hand 4-5 players on flop and everyone just gets $2 or something.

I played this promotion when the pyramid was part of omaha's week.To complete the pyramid i must have gambled around 50USD and the reward was just 2USD. that was enough.Also from Mega2 promotion my reward is 2USD from deposits that are around 20USD.

This promotion requires loads of play. It's great if you usually play that much, but not so if you don't play very much at all, as you end up spending more money and more time.... You can win more but the outcome of winning $1 is outstandingly ridiculous. Good luck of you do play this promo though.
It really does not matter what promotion is being offered, there is nearly always one going, like sale's at the mall.
You should take advantage of the bonuses if it is your game and your level.
Do not start playing cash Omaha at any stakes unless you already know how to play this game and can handle the level on offer.
I pretty much only play MTT's and if they have a deposit special running for existing players I take it every time, I do not change the game buy-in or the game type I want to play for the day and then I get my FREE $1 or $20 or whatever and it is all good, regardless of the extra bonus I need to play good poker and if I want to do it long term I need to be PROFITABLE at the table(s).

all these promotions have some hidden agenda , inexperienced players as I can fall for the loss of more money than will be taken from the bonus , so it is good that more experienced players are talking here about what is right and what is wrong with these promotions
Yeah Pokerstars got smart excluding the fixed limit option with this promotion with previous cardhunt promotion it was an option and I was making good profit extra 40.
just play 3 tables zoom and only play AK AA KK AQsuited 10 10
also open the pyramid to track your progress live
I made 3 times 1 dollar and 2 times 2 dollar
overall profit cause PS is full of fishing donks
Most of your BRMers are fishing limping calling stations, THEN THIS PROMOTION IS BAD FOR YOU, hahahah
------------ also, try not to get that 3 of a kind or flush or whatever(that means putting too much focus on getting a flush/3ofakind, instead of trying to win), it happens by it self when you play AA KK, just 3 TABLES ZOOM and minimum buy in of 5 dollar.
I agree. Utter nonsense. It is necessary to risk much to win at least $1. I have participated recently and have collected a pyramid, my prize has constituted $2. Shares on Poker Stars became greedy.

the price is very sh1tty yes, because I already played like 5 or 6 times, but still you suppose to make profit by playing poker, if this thing makes you nervous, then you will likely tilt your money.
for a 5/10 cent you still need a big bankroll in case you get unlucky with your superb hands

If you are going for the promotion itself it may not worth it. Some promotions ( in all sites ) are for all players and others, like this one probably, is for the ones that are already playing the specific games, limits etc. They are not hunting, its their grind, so they get something extra out of it. When they are winning

I played here a very short time. Poor promotion, poor normal free tournaments, and those tournaments that represent that they are free of abnormally poor because they are small rewards and abnormal lot of players in the tournaments so it makes no sense at all and play on these poker sites.
and I have a pyramid of why something does not work ... and click on the button pops up a window with an error ... I tried different options but nothing has changed ... customer reinstalling has not helped .. and then in a social network, I read that the problem in so many players from Russia .. sad

As always with these kind of promotions, only worth it if its your normal game. If you normally play 1c/2c, probably not worth it as you will usually need up losing more than the bonus.

these promotions are made to manipulate you. you lose focus playing poker and is trying to focus on the goal of promotion that ends up making you play carelessly and consequently you will lose more than win. activate the promotion, because for that you do not pay anything and there play poker, keep the focus, keep the basic rules and play with authority to complete the pyramid and win the prize will be only the consequence of their great game.
Out with old in with a new One Million Freeroll sounds good if you can't win a ticket in daily Allin shootout there will be a July 15 mission where you can get a ticket to a 15000 seats sattelite GL.

We could only hope that Amaya would give up their 'pyramid schemes' after this...
I Only won few dollars and never a big price , if you are a regular 5/10 cent blinds player, then this is maybe something nice for you, this is not so nice if you are a micro grinder with a small bankroll, because most of the times you can play well and win a lot, but when you don't have much bankroll, you can have some bad luck and loose, the deal is not try to stress because you need to win with a flush.
the flush will come with AA or KK or AK AQ suited, dont hunt for it, just play with good hands and 4 tables and it will come. so don't pay attention to the mission, it will come.
and everyone just gets $2 or something.
40.
