Today to me in a mail box, as the spam the interesting letter has got:
On pokerstars for you * every day * is given the opportunity to win real money. You can win up to $ 5,000 in cash in daily assignments!

Here's how it works:

- Find Jacks or Better Poker Challenge

- Play in suitable * cash games, and every time your winning hand consists of a pair of jacks or higher, you get points.

- As soon as you score the required number of points, you instantly receive a prize of up to $ 5,000!

That's so easy!

It's true? :confused::confused::confused:

I did not have such a letter but I do not think that pokerstars decided to just give away their money)))

It's very difficult to win such money, you need to play professionally.

The key is the wording:

"of up to $5000"

that means it could be as low as .01 cent.

I think the probability of that game is too low

That's what always come to mind when sites offer "Up to 100% of your deposit match!" but in reality the likelihood of even getting half of it matched is extremely slim.

this "until" that breaks, at first I got into quite a lot of these promotions, but it's really very difficult to win something with them, I gave up!

I have completed it a few times never got more than $0.50


Probablities of prizes:


$5000 - 0.003%$50 - 0.1%
$5.00 - 5.0%
$1.00 - 55.0%
$0.50 - 39.87%


It makes sense to complete challenge if you already play these type of games on a normal basis.


If you don't play cash games or don't play at these stakes it makes no sense to complete.

I usually opt in for the Jacks or better challenge, but so far haven't won anything. I'm either not playing enough these days, or the "challenge" just isn't that lucrative.

I do it on a daily basis but is there something wrong with "your" price distribution? I have got $0.50 once or twice but mostly $0.20, which isn't listed above. Does it depend on the limits? I'm still on NL2. On average it takes about 400 hands to complete unless you get quads.

There is nothing simple. Just so nobody will give you a lot of money. This is confirmed by the examples of the participants.

I play and do such tasks, but only prizes fall out a small 0,20 cents and 0,50 cents, this is a rare case that can drop to 5000 dollars there a chance of 0.001 percent!

That's kinda disappointing.

The challenge is not found that hard to complete limp every hand and check call down to the river.

A very small probability. A few cents you can win.

The percentage of winning opportunities is only very low.

If I'm not mistaken, then 0.0001%

I mean the sum of 5 000

I'm confused? How is this ^ a winning strategy? Aren't you getting pts. for each time you have JJ+ and are winning with them? Limping & playing passively will mean you're only winning when you're ahead at showdown (& we're letting them get there). Do all hands need to get to showdown...or do they just need to be won?
