$1m Spin N Go finally pops on Pokerstars X3 - Page 5 - Poker News

They should really have better payouts or allow for deals. Something like

1- 750k
2-300k
3- 150k

I mean this is for 5 dollars, flattin the structure out a bit with this much money on the line ffs.

posts like this are a bit LOL , im sorry, but the whole entire marketing campaign is a 1 MILLION DOLLAR SIT N GO, its difficult to have a 700k 1st then.

how is this concept unattainable to some ppls comprehension.

Any transparancy whatsoever regarding hacking would result in the immediate death of an online poker company imho.

With all the hacking in the news lately, maybe Stars/Tilt should get into the security consulting biz imho. After all, their software is 100% secure and has been for 15 straight years (as far as the public knows anyway). The Pentagon and NASA probably called them after their security breaches Im sure.

Also, dont expect a legit/fair/objective discussion regarding this topic on a poker forum website whos very existance and continued success/popularity is driven by online poker either...imho..an attempt to start such a discussion would immediately be dismissed as rigtardedness imo.
Hes saying there is some sort of pattern the game has and it can be learned to cheat it, and dont tell on him or investigate, just learn the pattern and profit.

I'm sorry you cant win at online poker friend. You don't have to be so upset about it

It is along the lines of the WSOP gang who doesn't help chops who are subsequently bent on their $10 million for first, no matter the payout structure damage at the FT. Player funded advertising at its worst, to hit a round number. If the $63 million prize pool wasn't enough to draw people, putting $10 million on top drove 1000's of extra entries... no, actually it didn't seem to.

WTF?

Did the account get suspended for the period that it takes Pokerstars to complete security procedures?

It is odd he isn't playing 10k headsup superhyper allin hyperflip 3D turbos like most luckbox donkament winners. Maybe something's wrong with the guy.

It's a contest to win a Million. THAT'S HOW IT WORKS. You can't go on Wheel of Fortune and ask Pat to give you twice the letters in return for half the prize. So annoying listening to nerds talk about variance in all aspects of life. It's gambling, that's what attracts people to these types of things. Go f yourself with variance.

I enjoy hearing bitches talk like they are the coolest in the internet.

it is ******ed not to make a deal, even if you have an edge it's still an hyper turbo with 3 players and luckiest will win, not the most skilled.

I understand stars wanted to get their twit "from $5 to 1 mill in 5 minutes" and that's why no deals were allowed, but they should allow it on next one, or make it a reg speed or turbo sng, putting this much money on hyper is just ****ing lottery

if you acknowledge it's stupid and still don't do it for other reasons is it still stupid? people don't make deals because they're gamblers not because they're stupid. if you want to think of it in ev terms. gambling gives them more life ev because of the fun aspect than just having the money. i mean it's the whole reason they're gambling in the first place or else they would put their buy-in in a savings account or something.

I mean really if you are playing a 1$ luck fest tourney and you know it... Next thing you know you're GTD 100k.... Shouldn't be complaining.

Nope. I just think it´s odd that he isn´t playing at all.

Again, the account may have been suspended for some sort of security procedure.

That´s basically the only reason I could think of. It´s not like he´s some "5000 SNG per month grinder" who´s fed up with Poker anyway and quits instantly when he hits that magic score.

These things are always won by Micro Stakes players. Same as the Milestone Hands promotions.

Why? Because its better marketing for Stars, and more likely to get more rec micro stakes players to play. A $0.01/0.02 player winning $100k or $1m is a far better "chase the dream" story than a nosebleed player winning a few buy-ins.

Call me cynical, but.....
