On ipoker if you play a 1000x on the 10e buy in (or know of someone that did), you know that the probability of it coming out again is significantly reduced for the next couple of days (with their poor traffic), which is not very cool

i saw a pokerstars rep saying they were 0.5% over EV with prizepools at the time he wrote, so yeah, def you have always 1 in 100k to hit it.

Well, if you win the 1000x, you won't want to play during a few following days anyway

Just found this. Apparently stars made a spin and go poker tv show. So much cringe.

hahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahaha

How does this work? you find 3 random donks on the street and put them in a studio to play? and when does it spin? maybe someone with some french knowledge could enlighten us...

they qualify online on pokerstars.fr, in freerols.
they play 3 games, once someone won a game, the wheel spin and he gets a prize for up to 10.000Euros.

Hmm, here they spin after the game... if they did it before, there'd be too many 'uninteresting' games with the minimum prize (€20, I presume)

WOW, I actually think this is a great idea (no sarcasm). Love it and hopes they roll it out in other countries.

Edit: Seems to have a similar feel to those "Who wants to be a millionaire" and "Deal or No Deal" TV shows. Would like more personable players or attractive females.

Wtf did I just watch? Holy damn tilted beyond possibility. Live hyper turbo structure? Calldown with 93 on Q8425? They have to stand up to play, can't afford chairs? There's absolutely no way any of these 3 players have ever played a hand of poker prior to that show.

Edit: lol? J6 on KT98 is a double gutter according to them (if my french is still up to date). That woman got an hour of coaching from one of the commentators as well? Probably an hour of hand rankings explanation.
Edit²: definitly not rigged. They played 3 games and did €50-€100-€500 pay-out.
Edit³: sick range merging though. Mash pot button on Q9485 with T4 and get called by worse.

Buddy, you shouldn't even take it seriously. This hole thing is so wrong it's not even funny. I'm french and couldn't even watch the hole thing. The interesting thing is that I play this kind of players every day and this gets old at some point when they get lucky again and again...and again...and again... did I mention and again...?
HT 3max is made for this kind of donks and they seem to know it as they invade the format like locust. I don't even rant as I take advantage of it, but still, it gets old at some point when they keep on "luckboxing" hand after hand.
This is a strange feeling as I am glad I play such donks but at the same time I wish I played decent players so I could pull out a decent bluff from time to time when I am card dead which happens often enough in HT.
Poker is not dead for sure when you see such victims but the variance part of it can be bothersome sometimes.

I don't care if they make a show with the worst players in the world, I will just decide not to watch it. Worst thing with this though is that the players clearly didn't have a clue about the RULES of the game, and in essence, those rules are very basic. They had to be told what blinds were at some point, and try to bet half a big blind on multiple occassions, and tried to make an illegal raise from 100 to 150 or whatever as well. I don't care what her thoughtprocess was with the 93 on Q8425 but the thing is it probably had something to do with her COMPLETELY not understanding some of the rules of the game. Maybe she thought 4card straights are worth something or didn't know handrankings in general. Maybe she thought there's an ocean card after the river. Maybe she thought if you call someone that is bluffing your own cards don't matter anymore. God knows what she was thinking, but it surely wasn't "Oh he must have 37, the one hand I beat!"

Making a show about a game when players don't even know the basic rules of how the game is played is ridiculous. I don't expect them to know stuff like "Who has to show first on showdown?" or "What happens when the dealer flashes a card by accident?", but damn this was tilting.

That cracked me up, lol.

Man, seriously, there's nothing to watch. As I said, i couldn't even finish the hole thing, I speak the language so I get it, but it was just wrong...
I think the hole point is something like: "look guys, even somebody that has no clue what this game is about can win hundreds of Euros, isn't that just cool?"
My point is, I don't know about you guys on the .com, but this game, even full of donks is pretty damn hard to beat. At risk of sounding like a huge regfish, even with a freakin' fish festival, variance is crazy in this game and those guys are just showing why. I am one tabling, exploit playing my arse off and still having a hard time winning 60/40 and 70/30 at a decent rate.
Between the "POF pros", the "havenoideawhatIamdoing pros", the "whatthehellAI pros", this game is crazy and hardly beatable. I still love it though. What can I say, regfish power!

Also if my french isn't failing me... At one point the woman went all-in, and the guy in the middle thought he also had to go all-in then, no? With him having like 5-6x her amount of chips. He probably watched too many old crappy movies. I'm surprised he didn't expect her to put her car keys in the middle because she had less chips.

It's an open-ender indeed; but is there a distinction in French between these two concepts?

They could provide players with chairs indeed

The distinction does exist in French and spamz heard it well

See? My french aint too shabby apparently.

Hello spamz. Can you tell me the name of the character of your avatar?
Good stuff.

I bet u all jizzed watching that video,.

baller custom full tilt avatar.

His original intended avatar was the nuts.

I hope this is a joke/mistake but there is now a 5$ spin and go in the lobby with 1kk$ max Winnings. If its not a joke then you can see the future of stars right there. This is by no means beatable and complete insane

Hello,

It is no joke, and it is no mistake, but rather part of a promotion that will be announced on the main websites later today.

Thanks,
Baard

Took months before ftp made it but eventually was so awesome that it was worth the wait.

Also wow @ $1M prizepool. Can't wait for announcement tbh.

wow. When SpNG's first came out It was thrilling to play but since its just not wise to play them the feeling died down after playing a few.

Now seeing that 5 Dollar Spin n Go with a million prize is bringing that degenerate excitement feeling back again.

If thats what I feel as someone who has self restraint; I can only imagine the true degenerate gambler. Sad times.

For some reason this totally reminds me of a 5 dollar scratcher with a Million top prize.

Can you imagine hitting that and having to have to play it out... **** me.

For the petes sake, PS make a auto dealing option a priority already.


Promotion means that it will end eventually or only for a limited time; I dont ever see this new 5 dollar million ending.
