PokerStars Cash Game Quests

[10058765]

yesterday finished 2nd try , but took me about 300 hands because the 3 of a kind just wouldn't come.
Down about 10-15 dollar, but got $ 5 bonus.
After 2 quests still some profit.

NB the loss yesterday was mainly because of 2 times being dealt AA and paying against sets.
Both times (in hindsight) should have folded to river bets, so basically I paid for something learned.

You got to admit that pokerstars management are genius.

This promo will pay for itself by the rake generated. I'm 23 VPPs from Chrome ($18 rake) and so far, in 6 missions, I got $9 worth of prizes.

I think that with the new system we got screwed all the way; from the microstakes to the SNE. BTW there are no more stellar rewards.

Also they took away the 100K freerolls and replaced them with the crappy Giveaways.

And the best part is: people are playing more then ever for less rewards; brilliant.

Geez is someone hiding all the pairs, other day when it was 8s it took me about 1200 hands to get 88, today for 55 it took me 1146 hands and 69 pairs every other pair at least 3 times, got 66, 11 times

Sorry to break it to you, but these type of promotions are not done to spread goodwill

They're hoping to generate lots of rake while giving a small amount of money away.

Which I just did (losing $8 in the process) and getting a $2.50 prize

Getting 44 almost took me an hour.

Do you think it is a good way to bring new players into the games?

I mean noobs will get crushed at nl10+ while receiving small prizes in return. Maybe they'll quit after a bitter experience.

I thought Stars wanted to level the playing field. Now they are rewarding the nl10+ regs with some free money while they crush the noobs.

I got $2.50 too. BTW I instantly stop playing when I get my prize. I don't even want to see 1 more hand.

 

[coloradosc]

1st day: $1...... +$4 from games
2nd day: $2.5... -$2 from games
3rd day: $2.5.... +$7 from games
4th day: $1...... +$15 from games

Playing 0.05/0.10 Zoom.

The Mega bonus only 1 ticket Spin Go

Lmao at this thread, funniest replies. And yes I've never seen so many fish on the 10nl tables. There are double the number of tables running. It's just a massive distraction from which the vast majority win nothing Stars take a ton of extra rake and one random fish will get a massive disproportionate bonus. I'm beginning to hate Stars more everyday.

 

[Gorak]

and one random fish will get a massive disproportionate bonus.

I wish to be that fish.

 

[rhombus]

think they should have spread the rewards and levels., as already said alot of regs at 10nl even seen a couple of suoernovas.

Think they should have had it at 1c/2c to encourage more beginners to the site

 

[shomy21]

I took twice $2.5 and four times just $1.
Did anyone got more than 2.5 dollars

Yep, $ 5 on my 2nd quest.....3rd quest for me I did not complete because after 200 hands still no 55.
Giving it another try today....

Done all 8 so far for $10
Day 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 $1
Day 2, and 3 $2.50

The good thing is that I won something like 20$ from this promo...the bad thing is that Ive lost almost all my little bankroll doing this and it seems like I won't be able to play it again, unfortunately, cause I knew that I was going to win that 10K bonus

 

[Aces2w1n]

To me setting quests that are in higher stakes is a sick way to get people to go bust and break poor bankroll management to win a certain amount which who knows what it is.

Just a way to get ppl to deposit into the site it appears.

I'm in a bad mood today lol

 

[10058765]

well, as said yesterday I quit after about 200 hands not being able to get 55 and meanwhile losing about 2 buyins....close to 20 dollar....

Today, other story....550 hands to get there...$ 2.50 bonus and during the process a profit of $ 55.....

Not to bad for a day......

Tell me; what would be the reason to deposit on Stars after you lost your roll?

The Giveaway freerolls??? :rofl:

Get your money on a site with better promos.

 

[Gorak]

Completed today's quest. Lost $5 when my QQ ran into KK.

But when I received my $5 reward; my session ended about even+.

In the process I reached Chrome Status; Whoohoooo! Sigh!

 

[Figaroo2]

$50

not bad.

 

[Gorak]

$50 not bad.

Cool.

I got $1 today.

 

[Gorak]

Are you guys still at it?

Today was easy but only $1 reward.

 

[moots]

Yes, but I mainly get the $1 ones.

I did manage to become SilverStar because of this promotion, although there doesn't seem to be any benefit to it.

 

[mottotom27]

there's a $30k freeroll for silverstar+ once a month. also there's a rb% increase

 

[rhombus]

Ive managed the cash game quest everday except 1 and had either $1 and occasionally $2.50.

Not sure how the star things work but when you get to silver its 275 stars ($2.75) for every VPP earned, not sure about other levels.

 

[shomy21]

Finally, I got more than $2.5, yesterday I got $10 .
I'm getting easily some pair 55...but when I need to hit flush, every time I got into higher flush than me. Today I got "nuts" flush on flop but when I looked better...

I guess you already added 5$ to your bankroll, before you realised that you nuts flush is not so nuts
yesterday i finally hit something more than 1/2,5$, it was 5$
