Great going! Wishing you the best of luck! 4:00am start times, Ouch! Will you have to call in sick to play those games?

thks for the info, so bad from ps

Confirm this is true when I'm upswinging. It does decrease with each chest if downswinging.

I'm currently on an upswing with 120k diamond chests. I haven't raked that much in a month for years (#personalisedrewards). So I guess I downgrade a couple of levels now and clear some of this blowout thing in the process. No chance otherwise.

Does anybody have experience of grinding both Zoom and Blitz they could share please? Wondering if I move my roll to grind out a welcome bonus. Don't want to do that if it plays like Party fast fold though. If it helps, I'm playing Stars 50z and finding it soft.

Ok so it does make sense to downgrade chests for blowout? Cause I'm moving to gold soon, and I'll get way less chests than at silver, but based on the potential rewards in each, it seems like I may be better at silver, depending on how much each bar is at gold. But does each level have an equal chance of getting blowout stuff? Why wouldn't highstakes people go down to lowest level and get TONS of chests for the promo?

I'm playing 10z, at 17k/chest for silver. I'm breakeven/marginal winner I think recently.

Also, I have another question. On stars it says you can exchange your current chest bar for one at a lower level, and then move down. But does it matter how far on your current bar you are?

For example to show my point:

If my bar is 50,000 points for a gold chest. If I can exchange it for a silver chest, I would be better doing that at 100/50,000 points complete than 37,000 points, because the more you have completed when you exchange aren't you throwing RB away?

Or can you only exchange at certain progress amounts?

reading the terms the rewards might be smaller if u grind blowout with smaller chests

Withdrawing money or not?

His green line is below $0, stars like these player profiles

I'm a newb on these charts. The chart shows he's a good player who is just running bad? He should be up $1200 or more instead of losing money (before rakeback)?

That is his winnings with RB adjusted line (yellow). The one you are thinking of is orange (EV line) and is not shown here.

Ah ok, got it now. Thank you Jayus.

Made the blowout challenge got a blowout freeroll but cant find it on the lobby, anyone?

You have to uncheck "Show upcoming only" to see it on in the lobby on a desktop. Trny id is 3063637304.

"Blowout Final Freeroll’ will take place on December 27, 2020 at 11:05 ET.

see nothing every filter is off upcoming also unchecked and in the searchbox typed the number and nothing

Try this:

At the homescreen: My stars --> tickets --> select the tournament --> Go there --> register

see no tournaments

I apologize, the freeroll I listed is the Pokerstars School Blowout Series Freeroll (both are on the 27th). You probably can't see that tournament since it has a lot of country restrictions. The tournament that you have a ticket for "The Blowout Final Freeroll" is not listed in the lobby yet. I'm sorry man.

For all the players who have completed The Blowout Challenge (reached or surpassed square 28/R), but did not win a Blowout Package, there will be a ‘Blowout Final Freeroll’ which will award 10 Blowout Packages to the top 10 finishers of the freeroll.

‘Blowout Final Freeroll’ will take place on December 27, 2020 at 11:05 ET. To use the Blowout Final Freeroll Ticket, players need to log in to the client, find ‘Blowout Final Freeroll’ within the Tournaments search tool, and register for the tournament.

is there any word on the size of the blowout final freeroll

Just have to be black chests and finish the promo, ~12 chests or so on avg. Only got the $800 chests instead, 0/10000 lifetime on getting the big piece of any promo.

Oh well, 1/2z has been super soft all month and I'll finish my exc challenge this weekend.

Finished my blowout, got 3 chests for $26 cash. Not so bad for someone at 10z. I also got a freeroll final ticket. I can't find it and I've searched it in the blowout tourney lobby.

got it also, chated with them it will appear later, ‘Blowout Final Freeroll’ will take place on December 27, 2020 at 11:05 ET. To use the Blowout Final Freeroll Ticket, players need to log in to the client, find ‘Blowout Final Freeroll’ within the Tournaments search tool, and register for the tournament.

managed to get one of the blowout packages, first bone stars has thrown me all year all it took was a big downswing, feelsgood

Congrats!! Ship one!

Can't tell you how jealous I am!

I got a new exclusive poker challenge today! Pretty happy. Also $200 for $80 like the last one.

FWIW, I play 10z and was down 10BI in 20k hands in dec up until it concluded yesterday. Not sure if I got it again because I was losing this month.

Anyone else get one?

Yep also got another one today, 20€ for 50€ again. Kind of surprised they gave it to me with the same point requirement as the last one considering I've been winning, and was able to complete the previous one 3 times.

On the other hand my silver chest went up to 15k points so I decided to downgrade back to bronze (6k now, when I moved up to silver they were at 750 ).

Also did a little research today, is this right?

Bronze chests
Rake paid to clear: 6000c
Expected value from chest: 120c
Rakeback: 2%

Silver chests
Rake paid to clear: 15000c
Expected value from chest: 300c
Rakeback: 2%

Black chests
Rake paid to clear: 335000c (this might be off, I just remember seeing some hs reg show his bar)
Expected value from chest: 7000c
Rakeback: 2.1%

Am i missing something? This is a joke, there's absolutely no point in upgrading your chests then.

My silver chests are 17k, and I'm a roughly BE 5z/10z zoom player. Golds were 50k, downgraded immediately.
