Actually, my numbers are fairly similar. I think I have 7 x $2.50 and 4 x $1.00. Of those 11 days, I think I've only lost twice on the tables (it's nice to run good), so it's been a good couple of weeks all around. I've really been enjoying the promotion, well done to PS on this one.

According to PS on the scrolling banner at the bottom of the software, 4 people have won the 10k so far!

I haven't kept count but I'm about 50/50 winning $1 and $2.50. Enjoying playing slightly higher stakes as well!

Challenges are OK but the weekly ticket to a 10k+ players freeroll with 50x$11 ticket for is kinda crappy.

1000x$11 would be way better.

Absolutely, but 50 is just rediculous.

Was just rewarded with $10 in the Cash quest... A nice free buy in for 10NL

11x $1
9x $2.50
1x $5

Really enjoying the cash game quest. The games also seem to be softer as a result as recreational players are encouraged to play for longer to complete their challenges, which is good for stars as well. I hope stars strongly considers reintroducing this promo later on in the year as I expect it to be basically a win-win for everyone. I'm sure they'll have plenty of other good promos lined up in the meantime though.

So people who got $0.50 tickets in week 1 and week 2 mega bonus deposit, did you guys make a deposit again? What about other people? What did you win this week?

My bonuses so far:

Week 1: $0.50 ticket
Week 2: $0.50 ticket
Week 3: Probably won't deposit for this lame bonus

Week 1: 10$
Week 2: $0.50 ticket
Week 3: $0.50 ticket

Thous 27-28euro=30$ deposits are like 20% of my total ps roll so when i deposit i was making moovs with my hands and was saying - c'mon money, money money - and hey it worked i got 10$.

Nice promos PS, but that freeroll with 50x$11 ticket is totally crappy.

Very nice promo for depositing 45euro and getting free 27$ tcoop event 01 ticket coz it may have very big overlay. Do u guys think that tcoop event 01 with that promo entry boost will reach 1.5m gtd? I think yes.

Bryan who is in charge of all Coop events, even he believes there is a big chance of event 01 going overlay. As of now total 38369 players have played the phase 1, 22731 more players needed in 1 day to avoid the overlay which looks impossible even with the deposit bonus.

Week 1: 10x 50c Spin n Go Tickets
Week 2: $10
Week 3: 1x 50c Spin n Go Ticket.

Think TCOOP 01 will still overlay just not by anywhere near as much as it would have without the deposit ticket bonus!

Week 3: Another ****ty $0.50 spin n go ticket

Unlucky Anuj, getting worst prize 3 times Still it's a good promo cos each time you play, there's a 20% chance of winning $10+ which means across the 3 bonuses you're basically 50/50 to get a prize worth $10 or more. I got a total of 21 spin and gos (1,10,10) across the 3 weeks. Managed to make $16 from $10.50 worth of spins

Loving this TCOOP deposit bonus promotion. Collectively the promotions this month have been great. Stars said they'd be using the money saved from the VIP system (plat star+) to invest into marketing and promotions, and I feel this month we're beginning to see evidence of that. These changes are great for Goldstar and below, even the games seem softer now!

Try looking up push/fold charts if you haven't already. Shoving ranges can be much wider than you think. For instance, with 10bb you can typically shove any king when it gets down to heads up. People generally miss out on value by not being aggressive enough.

I am a bit skeptical on the TCOOP promo - smells a little bit like desperation to meet the guarantee rather than something pre-planned. They did only announce it 28 hours before Phase 3 starts after all. Even though i busted phase 2 it was still a welcome surprise

The Mega Bonus and Cash Game quests have been great though and I agree the games seem relatively softer.

Kudos Stars, long may it continue.

Would it be possible to have 10/20 Zoom HU plo, 5 card HU tables, and higher stakes HU plo hypers (1k's).

If you made it to phase 3 yesterday, congratulations! If not, you've got a second shot for free!

Yeah the $27 ticket has to be a push to try and make up for lost money in the guarantee. But I'm not complaining, I never thought I'd play any of the TCOOP's as I'm not rolled for it... so was 10/10 to see when I logged on. lost in phase 2 with 96% on the turn but I still had a lot of fun! More like that would be good

Yea, i agree it probably was a last-ditch effort to get people to play as a result of the big overlay as opposed to a pre-planned promotion, however there's no denying it's great value so I'm not complaining!

I've been wondering why there's such a big overlay, and it could be something to do with the format. I had to research how a phase tournament actually works, as I found it a little bit puzzling. I do think it's an interesting format (once I understood how it works), but I think it's just going to confuse too many people, especially recs some of whom may not have the patience to start researching the phase structure. My guess is that from Stars's perspective, it probably would have been a safer bet and attracted more players had they gone for a more standard, simple mtt structure (like in the Sunday Million), but I still admire Stars for taking a risk with this more adventurous and interesting tournament format.
