Here's how you know a live game is good:
Full ring 20/40 limit OE game.
UTG raises, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, Hero folds, CO calls, BTN calls, SB calls, BB calls.
Hero figures all of the aces must be out for UTG to raise and get 7 callers.
At showdown UTG shows:
A
A
A
2
and wins half the pot.

I don't mind a couple of them, the prize pool boost and the bankroll challenge. They didn't answer your query in regards to that one though. Is it a deposit that you turn into those prizes or not?
I love BOP though

Battle of the Planets conclusion
Speaking of the Battle of the Planets, here is the plan for redemption of outstanding tickets. Keep in mind that those who were earning multiple tickets a month and/or stockpiled large numbers could never reasonably expect to redeem all of their tickets. There was never a promise to run this promotion indefinitely, nor was there ever an opportunity or promise of redemption of more than one ticket per month.
First ticket pays $70
Second ticket pays $50
Third ticket pays $35
Fourth ticket pays $25
Fifth ticket pays $20
No compensation for >5 tickets.
Prize total for 5+ tickets: $200
Players would have 2 months to opt-in to redeeming their tickets in the client. Unredeemed tickets would be expired after two months. Significant effort would be undertaken to notify players with tickets of their opportunity to redeem them.
Based on expected redemption rates, players would receive $290,000 in prizes for their outstanding BotP tickets.
