Pokerstars Milestone Hand Promotion

[5thStreetHog]

I think they just add to the stated prize some depending on your VIP status Ali.

Surely if you keep track of what hand # it is and if you are lucky enough to be on the table that is the special hand # then you should open push allin preflop with any 2 ?

Depends on the stakes...NL 25 and I'm PUSHING

NL5K 9 handed...UTG and I have a $12K stack....I'm not open pushing especially if 3-4 guys cover me and are behind to act.

why are you guys saying the stakes matter? the brief info on the site said they pay out depending on your vip status. Meaning a supernova would get the same pay out if he was on the micro tables.

Lee Jones turned up, the winner got either 2400 or 3400. Roman was the other player in the hand.

Yeah, it was kinda interesting, because they didn't notice (or didn't care) that the winner would get a big bonus. They played the hand very hard, with Empire2000 [1] ultimately folding.

You should be able to reach the promotion page here.

Best regards,

ali - the link had already been posted in the thread.
Lee just posted it again.

To find such stuff from the lobby you can 'help' and then 'news'.
Right there in the pop-up about the promo is a blue linky for it.


you're a smart girl, I know you would have figured out such stuff eventually.
for your purposes I don't believe this promo is terribly exciting because the prizes aren't very high at the micro and low stakes which, I believe, is where you play.


I'm kind of enjoying it at the medium stakes as a supernova though.
I have always hit these milestone promos pretty hard. I've yet to hit on a single freaking one. Came within 1 hand a couple times and within 5 hands on several occasions.


Not doing the auto-fold thing this time around because I don't think there's a group doing it and I'd just rather play and try to make some dough anyway.
They're going so fast anyway that I'm not sure that the auto-fold stuff really has much value over playing 'regular'.
