I think because this promo is only open to 5NL Zoom & upwards, that the field is just as soft, or more likely, even softer than 2NL Zoom.
As for the 250k Tourney itself, IMO unless you are very unlucky or particularly card dead, then you should have plenty of chips by the time the bubble play comes into effect to see you through safely.

Before this promo I played only couple of thousand hands on 2NL zoom, cause I dont play cashgame a lot. So I was little bit affraid of playing on 5NL too. But in my opinion competition isnt any harder. It might be because A LOT of players who dont usually play 5NL are also playing, so the field of players is soften now during promo than normal. I made profit 30$ in around 3000 hands, just from playing CG to get into those tournaments.
And those tournaments? I played first one and I basically only needed to make 1 double up (Starting with 10K) and then won just few times blinds and I got ITM with no problem. There are quiet a lot of sitouts and also not everyone starting with 10k so you have advantage over huge percentage of participants if you start with maximum possible stack.

Don't forget to press START in the challenge window, or else your QQ winning hands might earn you $$, but won't earn you any chips in the $250k zoom FR... I made this mistake myself today, but luckily realised after the first pair of ladies.
Good luck on the grind everybody!

It took me about 2500 hands to accumulate 10 times and win with pocket QQ. On one table was even 600 bb
Grand total today +$37
Nice one Nab/Black! That's the way to do it!

I don't know about the rest of you, but I found that playing the 72 was actually easier than Queens. For starters, I was getting 72 far more often, LOL!!!
Imagine if there was a Pocket Jacks promotion? That would be sick. I think a lot of people should, in preparation of playing that exact promotion should watch the following video. I think it would be very helpful. I think many of seen this one before.

That was one of the most frustrating tournaments I ever played... I couldnt win any hand, was always worse in SD. I missed all flops. Won only one hand AIPF. Then when blinds started to eat me I was completely card dead. Finished like 90 places from money. SOOO FRUSTRATING To lose like this, its even worse than get suckout in first hand, cause it last longer and result is same...
And QQ challenge. I played 1500 hands and got QQ only twice... dafuq. At least I won with them

Congrats! Nice score considering your starting stack.Cashed for $69 in the QQ game, only started with 2k chips also
I went card dead in this one and I busted on the stone cold bubble. Anyway this was a great promo.
