Hey guys, just thought I'd let you know there's a "Summer Games '08 - USA - Limit Hold'em Qualifier" freeroll starting in about 15 minutes on stars. Pays $5 to top 250 & right now there are only about 220 entered. I'm sure it will break 250 by the time it starts (8:30pm EST), but should be pretty easy to grind it to a quick $5. Look for tournament # 102286738

I would have to agree with mparker876 and SelligDrager. I played in one of those tournaments last week and came in 64 out of around 900. You just have to win a couple hands and you can pretty much sit out the rest of the game and still make the money.

they are running it every week till october. different game each week. with pokerstars normally massive fields, the idea of playing with roughly a 1000 people and the top 250 getting paid is kind of like a banana....very appealing.

No, they are sponsored by Pokerstars as part of their "2008 Summer Games" promotion. The game changes every week, and all pokerstars members from the US or canada are eligible to play in one game a week. Top 50 move on to round 2 (seperate game for each event) & top 10 in round 2 move on to round 3. Round 3 is a heads up game w/ 10 Americans vs 10 Canadians. Can't wait to get in on the Stud tourney.

Great tip. Thanks for the heads up. Not many would give that up, I think. It is greatly appreciated though, and I won't share it with any non- forum members. That's a gem when you're medium pimpin' like me!:D

:dito: What he said! It WAS fun!:hahaha: I wasn't sure if I'd remember HOW to play 7-stud! But it was like riding a bike!:bike:And, YUP, I was able to win $5--missed the qualifier by about 53 or so, but next week is yet ANOTHER different variation of poker to play--and that goes on until October when the finals are played.

I played in todays Stud tournament at 5 PM PST, had about 700 people registered but late registration pushed it to over 750. I didn't win a single hand in that tournament but I still ended up in the money (around 220), I got really lucky since I had to bring in about 5-7 times total during the entire game and the only things eating at my chipstack were the antes. It took about 45 mins to get into the money, so overall, very easy money :)

Each week's round 1 runs from Friday - Thursday. You can only enter 1 per week. I played my week 1(LHE) on Wednesday and my week 2 (7 Card Stud) on Tuesday. I entered the 2030 tourney each time. In both cases there were sitters that made the top 250 and cashed for $5. I cahed both times (I didn't sit out). Week 1 I made the top 50 and qualified for Round 2. In round 2 I finished 70th and added another $20.

So far in this series I have cashed for $30 by just playing really tight poker (and not trying anything spectacular.)

If that's your attitude then you should not be playing poker. Stick with the play money games and use the money you would have lost on your family instead of donating to guys like me. Do the right thing
