So I'm using Google to try and find leaked information about this coming weeks Promo, and it turns up this quote in a 2p2 speculation thread.

"2x the regs"

I lol'd.

2x reg
ahahahah, very very true

The promo announcement is up... drum-roll please...

As the world’s largest online poker room, PokerStars has reached many impressive milestones. And when we do, we like to show our appreciation by giving you great cash bonuses! Between July 14-20, we’ll be doubling the pot for the winner of every 1,000,000th hand dealt in our real money cash games. In addition, all players dealt into the hand will receive 22 big blinds* at the limit being played. This amount will then be multiplied, according to your current VIP status!

Yet again it totally sucks.

Week 1 = The best
Week 2 = Pretty lame follow-up
Week 3 = Get us all excited about "double the pot" in teasers and the max it out with the lamest week yet

BOO! Weakest promo ever.

Edit: Anyone with an estimation of how often 1 million hands are dealt in Pokerstars Cash Games? Average cash game traffic would be helpful here IMO .

lol this week's promo sucks

that's lame

i just want double fpps all mnth long

I hope all the hands happen at 200/400 deep stacked so it costs them bajillions. This promo peaked in the first week.

i wonder what the last week is gonna be
anyone know?

wtf man this shit is so fucking gay. are they that naive that they think ppl wont see right through this fucking shit. god why is this so GAY

I'm holding out for 2X cashout

Hello Pokerstars. I just want to say that this week's promo is a total joke. Seems like the 2x VPP/FPP was a lost for you people or you guys simply couldn't think of anything cool. I don't know how fast u guys deal Milestone hands but from my perspective, it will only help a very very few number of players, I may be wrong... still what a joke lol... I've been laughing since I read it... just won't stop. Yes, I'm laughing right now. ok bye

I'm doomswitched already so i dont give a fuck lol

if you play a thousand hands there's 1/1000 chance that you'll hit the millionth one right?
so if you play 10k hands in a week there's 1/100 that you'll hit the millionth

which isn't TOO bad

edit: except doubling the pot helps 1 person on the table.
wtf

probably 60% of these are going to end up being blind steals, double the pot big whoop

wonderful, some lucky microstakes player just won a whopping extra .62 cents from this shitty ass promotion

haha yeah lol
