PokerStars Christmas Festival

[Gorak]

Soooooooo sick i just won $5000 from todays promo!!!!!!!!
If you can put a lot of volume in the $0,50 turbo's 180mans. They are SUPER soft and can easily ship 2 before it ends.

Big Congrats.

I was thinking the same thing this morning; but too bad I had other things to take care of.

Congrats PFK! I just starting playing these about 2 hours ago when I saw your stake thread. I just won one now. Too late to win another

edit: 4 of 16 in another one with 9 minutes to go. Don't think I'll make it. Will have to see it actually ends at 12AM EST.

2nd edit...boooooooo! Finished in 3rd.

 

[moots]

Got my 2nd win, but only got a $50 prize

 

[PokerFunKid]

Thanks Gorak and Mootso, good job on shipping 2. Unlucky with the prize Still a great promo. Probably also made a nice profit on the $0,50 games themself and then a a shot on 5K with a $50 minimum.

 

[PokerFunKid]

Was expecting $20,000 with the run good this month, but ill take the $5

Thanks!

I only played 21 games, so made about the same amount as the bonus.

Still hurts just getting the minimum

Yeah for sure. Damn thats nice, only 21 games to ship 2

That is awesome Moot. No wonder they only shipped you $50. The fix is in.

I did the deposit bonus today and only got $5 which is probably the min but I deposited the min.
It seems the only bonuses I can make are the ones where I deposit. Probably because I suck at poker and haven't bothered to do anything to change that in the 12 years I have been playing it online.

Congrats again on the 5k Mat, sick run.

Took me almost 6 hours and 62 games just to bink one last night but the last set of 12 raked in 3 3rds as well as the bink so turned a profit for the quick hit mini stake from Mat/Mod .... if not for being 3am at the time and having work this morning I'd have kept going for another 3 hours that was available to try for the 2nd bink.

It was sooooo nice having such a great value game in general kicking off so quickly to get in volume last night.

Min is a all in shoot out ticket, min cash bonus is $5.

Thanks Still can't believe how great i am running this month.
You did all you could, sucks you had work because i know you would have shipped a 2nd one in those 3 hours most likely. But you would be a zombie at work haha. Happy you tried your best and we had a good shot at a bonus. Always a next time, maybe next christmas or they will finish with a great promo this christmas. We'll see.

 

[Gorak]

Min is a all in shoot out ticket

Yeah, that's what I got.

And the way I'm running in those, they might as well said $0.00.

 

[PokerFunKid]

Sooooo sick thanks stars for this xmas present the run good is real

Oh wow, that's really sweet!! Wish I was that lucky, but I admit I dismissed this one right away laughing, thinking that it's near to impossible to take first place twice lol

 

[underdog140]

Straight flush for a chance at $5000 today ... hit mine in 670 hands. I was playing every suited connector. Hit the lowest prize $20.

 

[moots]

OMG..zoom session is full!!! Going to be even harder to hit that straight flush

 

[6a6yJIbkO_o]

The most interesting that pokerstars has ever done )) Christmas Festival forever

 

[moots]

Straight flush again?!?!?!?

I played so many hands and couldn't hit

 

[underdog140]

Straight flush again?!?!?!?

I think its a typo ..... there are $1000 freerolls every 30 min listed in lobby. If you click the icon for more info it gives details for the freerolls.

 

[moots]

You're right, thanks!

 

[EvoSlike]

I'm playing Christmas freerolls and their school freerolls at the same time at PS and I think my head is going to explode I'm not used to playing four tables at once

 

[sergkonev]

Freerolls and generally quite good, a lot of bad fish

Hopefully they will run the 180-Man promo again.

I would love to see the financials for this Christmas GIFT promo by poker stars.
I am pretty sure that the increased profits they made on some of these missions far exceeded the payouts.
Scrooge would be proud of the generous people there that thought these up.
