Pokerstars X2 Promo - Page 6

I like they idea of this week's action, but many of their guaranteed tourneys normally hit like 1.5x the normal guaranteed prizepool right? So with the hype they make of it there are so many more players gonna do MTT's that this isn't gonna cost them a considerable amount of money right? Or am I overlooking something...

Only tourneys worth the time due to this thing are prolly SM/SW/SSC because of the WSOP action going on imo. Or can someone give me more MTT's <$250 that are worth playing because of the overlay?

i think the rebuys wont even be close to hitting their guarantees

for the 3r with 60k guaranteed you're gonna have to have 20k entries+rebuys+addons and that isnt ever gonna happen

i think they just need 7k entries+re+add

aside from overlay the fields will be way softer

daily fifteen grand (with almost 5k entries), sick level yo

daily 50 (100k gtd) running atm with 120k pool, its been running 3 min and more ppl are registering =]

Yeah that's kind of what we thought would happen even my obscure Omaha $10+R running at 10:30 Eastern somehow managed to reach its double guarantee lol.

gl for the 100k hand a month guys haha

Considering the guarantee tournaments entries seem to be fueled by the guarantee itself why doesn't Stars push the guarantees up as high as they can and see what the players can sustain?

the 5r has an 85k prize pool


17,000 buyins/rebuys/addons


sick

guaranteed my ass. More like we did the math before hand and all the tournament buy ins will exceed the guaranteed prize pool. this promotion sucks

Of that makes the daily 50k have 120k prize pool, it works for me.

wait so this week =/= double VPP/FPPs?

good call on this -__

thats fucking bullshit, 2x VPP > 2x donkament shit

it is gay but for the tourny players I guess they have the illusion of bigger payouts but under such short time frame I doubt many serious tourny players will profit from this in a big way like double VPP did

Bump! What will the guarantee be this week? Should be announced today. Any speculation ?

2times rake i heared
