Congratulations to this big winner , $140.000 is a lot of money to be won, and only with a $20 investment . Big congratulations. I read that they changed the structure of these blast games , now you are not forced to go all in after some minutes of gameplay , thats a good change . But I cannot say I didn't like the old structure and rules , I liked it when I was playing in the moctlros , good way to have fun , win $$$ , pay rake to level up VIP levels

it's exciting this kind of game, the 888poker blast are great, plus they are always giving away great prizes like this one, imagine playing for a lot of money at the table, incredible, that doesn't happen very often.

I think that the 1st place earns too much money and the betting system must be changed. 140k for winner and 60k for 2nd and 3rd is something absurd from my point of view. There need something more balanced...
Removing the time element from the features alters the startegy deployed and the hand range you would need to win a heads-up. Probably makes the matches longer as well. So within the same time period they get less volume (rake) because matches are taking longer to play out even if it's just ten more hands...

888 changed Blast games and now players don't play with the clock anymore. This is nice because this poker room doesn't play very many games anymore. It was ugly when after 2 minutes the players were all in until the winner remained.

it is a good option, now we will no longer play against the clock, now we will play until the end with our hands, for sure this will help all the players, and also congratulations to this player for what he has won with these blast games.

I also like it, because now 888 doesn't decide anymore and maybe i will win more often. I have lost enough blasts, because of the software in this poker room. They destroyed me when their cards was good for other opponents,,,

I understand you, that's why now it's fairer, because before you played against the clock and at the end the cards were put allin, and that made you take more hasty decisions, that's why I like this new option much more.

that's right my friend, every year that passes should be improved for the welfare and benefit of the players, and 888poker is very expert in that, they knew that the players were uncomfortable with this option to go allin at a certain time, that's why they solved it.

I always remember in this 888poker room I got my first big prize when I started in poker when I played 0.10 cents blast and I was able to win 100 dollars on the turn, a great start.

but its importana that you make something more after this and that you invest in your play,no matter is it poker or casino and not to make cashout right away!but ofcourse best feeling is when you make something from nothing and that you didnt invest your own money in it!

I'm not a strong poker player, my level is average, so many times I closed my eyes and dreamed of catching x10000))) but no, now it's even more difficult, the timer has been removed. But nothing, I believe, I hope)
