Re: The PokerStars world passport (challange)
It's pretty decent if you're a tournament player I guess but it's not enough to get me to just switch to tourneys for a shot at this.
Essentially, the top 100 play in a tourney with a $150k prize-pool. so they each receive a $1500 value tourney-entry against a very tough field. Maybe worth slightly more than that if a handful of the entrants are unavailable to show up on Jan 13 or simply forget. But obviously the top 100 don't even have great odds of cashing. Still a $1500 value tourney entry is nothing to sneeze at and obviously the top prize is insanely ballin'. I don't know...maybe I'll play a few MTT's just to see if I have a shot of sneaking into the top 1000 for the 501-1000th event. |
Re: The PokerStars world passport (challange)
Yeah I posted this in the other thread. The 101-200 freeroll is worth like $250, 250-500 like $85ish and 501-1k worth $50ish. Not worth changing your play at all for anything but top 100.

Re: The PokerStars world passport (challange)
Just to be fair, I think Monte Carlo package is worth more like $18k-ish so the numbers you gave might be a couple bucks low...but mostly pretty close.
101-200 for example should be worth more like $280. Not enough of a differnece to make any change in one's decision of whether to try for this though. |

[ QUOTE ] Id rather they roll this 250k into more attainable rewards for the many.

So now they run a promotion targeting ONLY tournament players which rewards ONLY a few, with the main big prize only going to one player. I love the fact that they are doing some different things promotion-wise, but I don't like the fact that a ton of money is being shelled out in this way (targeting a specific poker demographic). [/ QUOTE ] Doesnt the whole vip program reward tourney and stt players the most? When we talked about the rakeback at stars I remember scotty talking about a good supernova rb for sng players. |
