Interesting tournament series this time from 888poker, for me personally it is not many tournament where i can buyin with money because too much to me, maybe this last event micro main event for 5.50 buyin. But good to see satellite tournament of good prices

That $250/$500k gtd toruney is looking quite like fools gold to me - I mean with that structure is quite the opposite of affordable/great payout. Dunno. Sunday Million still better bang for your buck.

These kinds of series are always very welcome for the smaller buy in players and this looks like it will be very popular. I often try and win one of these satellites but it has never happened but i will keep on trying!!

The satellite strategy for these tournaments is not a very good one. Their structure needs to be changed to be better for the players. Static construction is not good and must be changed with a mobile one. It is necessary to do so, to qualify as many players as possible. This would be more successful.

Well for what I see, they keep getting involved in the promotions and the truth is that it is very good: D so that more people attend, besides that they never have a new attraction to wake up a bit ... so come and give them
I received two tickets to the Satellite of these major poker tournaments ... but there were a lot of players there ... And so I could not get a ticket to the main tournament ... but it was clear ... they are now offering a task to get new tickets .... If only by chance I perform these tasks

The one thing that a promotion like this from 888 means is that there will be loads of recreational players getting involved and from whom one can start to try and make a profit if you use your skill and patience. Patience is definitely the thing in these promotions, along with positive and aggressive play.

Another good series of tournaments, this time from 888poker. And they are going to have satellites starting from 1 cent. Not easy to get a ticket like that, but many will try their lucky, getting a big ticket for almost nothing. Good luck to all the ones, that will be playing there.

I have not received any free tickets for XL Blizzard, even if i checked my email. Instead, i received other email and here 888poker say something about the technical issues that affected their sites. If i had difficulty receiving a bonus, please take the process back and try to claim it again. I tried but it did not work to receive these tickets. In return to compensate for possible inconvenience, we invite you to attend FREE $ 10,000 Crazy Sunday Freeroll. In other words, i did not get anything because this game is freeroll and my XL Blizzard tickets are evaporated because of technical issues.

The more promotions and tournament series are running, the better for the players is. Besides it keeps the competition up and running, it gives more choices to all the players that are professionals, or making a side income by playing poker. It is a win win situation for the players

If I think you need more pormociones from several, and thus open more competition and people are not going to go over there more offers or promotions, because almost all are now games that you have to pay to stay untill you do not know what to do ...

No site can survive by giving free promotions over and over again. They are giving away money with freerolls, tickets for tournaments etc. But somehow they need to get back, at least a portion of the promotions they are having. After all it is a business, and their purpose is to make money, not to please everyone by giving them away free cash
Today I turned the wheel in the 888poker client .... I won the satellite ticket of these major tournaments .... last time 2 tickets I could not achieve any achievements .... maybe this ticket will help me to qualify .... and play in one of these major tournaments ... Well, of course it's very difficult .... very many contenders

I have just found the promotional offer email for this XL Blizzard and have claimed my two free tickets to the qualifiers. This means that once I have played one i will start receiving daily tasks to earn more tickets. A little disappointed i didn't get the email sooner and have lost about a week of play here. Good luck to you all in this promo.

Everyone gets annoyed when a software doesnt work as it should. But if you are making money in the specific site, you just turn your eye the other way Glitches and bugs happens everywhere. Something regular you can say. And now when it comes to attacks, thats another story.

These series tournaments are very good for all players even for fish or amateurs because they are in ,,another format'', where you can make money much easier, than in regular tournaments. I played a few tournaments from certain series and i really enjoyed playing with that kind of people because they are not regular and do not know your style too well. In this way you can make stack in a easier way if you are a smart boy. In the end you can do something good for your pockets...

Because of the lack of time you can not always look bonuses and promotions but you can play a lot of satelittes with little buy-in. These blizzard tournaments series are as good as possible. I like this genre of tournaments and if i qualify for major tournaments it will be very good.
