960th- $25 AQs Vs KK, probably could've waited for a better spot, but was 3betting from BTN Vs. CO, so I'm happy enough, seen Damacon chipping up, so GL to all CC'ers left, run good & deep folks.

739TH FOR 36 BUCKS

For me pain all day on all the sites. This one Blind vs Blind shoved AK called by A8 and he makes a str8.

As they say: Better luck next time!

Just seen this taken down by Ukrainian player, $25k, not bad for 5 hours & playing Pocket Aces!!!

 

[ROGUE63]

well up to 5k chips with 72

 

[skrsh76]

playing with 72 can end up losing a lot for winning a few more starting chips.. risking in my view

 

[Keith_MM]

its reasonably easy to win with 72 on 6max 5nl table assuming you have a tightish image....open to .30 and most of the time everyone folds thinking you are trying to get value out of a premium hand, if you get a caller cbet will take it down against 1 player and fold to all raises or give up. be wary of 77 or 22 on the board this week as lots of people will be playing for the 72 win

Got my 10!! Feels good to be folding 72 again

 

[ROGUE63]

me too fugured i was gonna have to start short stacked but got them;
fack i had pkt Ks so many times

 

[moots]

The 72 challenge was way easier than the ace's one (at least for me). Got my 10 in maybe 4 hours of playing.

After just a couple of hours of playing the KK challenge, I'm missing seven deuce! I'm not normally a zoom player, but I've been making steady profits everyday (bar one) since this promo began....
But today!? My God, now I understand coolers & bad beats are a natural part of the game, they help make it so great. But it has been a funny morning, I was up about $10, yet ended up more than $20 down in under 350 hands @ 2/5c. Now I'm not gonna cry about KK running into AA or flopped set crushed on river by backdoor 7 high flush (<-I kinda just did! ). But what happened next, made me decide it was time for a break: I called 20c pre flop from CO with pocket 4s & 3 others came along too, flop comes A,4,4 & BB bets 40c, EP original raiser min raises to 80c AND...... What did I do? Raise you might think, or flat call hoping someone else raises for me?? NOPE You're all wrong, gobshite here fast folds before action reached me...
Greatest missclick ever!

Have already completed 10 hands of the 7-2 zoom challenge, it was much easier than the AA one or the KK challenge, In the first tourbnament ( AA challege ) , i begin with 6K chips and up to 80K and was eliminated with QQ w 99 for 15$ , he got the trips on the flop.
Hope i will get a better result in next tournaments, but already it's a better promotion than the All in format

 

[papi1207]

72 challenge completed just 5 times, lost more than 20 hands. maybe be better luck with KK

 

[juanmapoker1]

good easy promo thx

 

[pain_pain_go_away]

Oh my God! This KK challenge is driving me nuts! Got it all in pre flop for just over $7 with KK Vs. 88 woohoo! Right? Until the flop brings an 8! $14 Heading to Russia.... Another 280 hands & another $11 in the red
... Oh yeah I said above I was only down 1 day before, actually it was 3, but the most I was down was less than $3 ($2.92). So in 1 bad morning I've lost more than 5 times as much as I have in my last 3 bad days combined.... I hate Kings!

 

[ROGUE63]

halfway there with the KK challenge
just the one bad loss lol small blind had AA me in the BB had KK

 

[Gorak]

I just finished the KK challenge. Glad it is over. I lost twice to someone making a boat on the river. Mootso witnessed one of them lol the guy had 97 and rivered a 7.

I was shortstaking so limited damage there. Good luck to all in the 250K tourney.

 

[ROGUE63]

well the 7-2 challenge freeroll goes off today about 19k ppl reged so far down a bit from the AA Game good luck all CC players

 

[blobman]

To qualify for the freeroll, did you have to win at showdown with the requisite hands or just win at all? Like if you just over shoved the pot preflop and it folds around, that counts?

I wonder how many players had no idea about the promotion but were randomly credited with a freeroll ticket because they won with the hands in question.

 

[ROGUE63]

just win and you have to hit "start" in missions window

 

[pain_pain_go_away]

Good luck everyone!

 

[ROGUE63]

[pain_pain_go_away]

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr out 6017th 5 spots from money sigh

Ouch, that's rough!... I'm out in 2351st for $15, TT ran into AA from BTN Vs. The Blinds. Good luck to any CCer's left in the mix!

 

[enolan]

Out in 933 AA < KJo, all in pre. Cash for $25 ... 25k would have been better but I guess I'm $25 closer.

gl to anyone still in.

 

[TryTo]

I'm barely playing in NL2 and afraid if it is worth to deal with. Is zoom NL5 much harder than zoom NL2? And how really is that 250k tourney near bubble: push-fold or "lof-of-blinds-comfortable" enough?
