Maybe not LOL, but I actually did chuckle out loud.

lol

this promotion is such a failure. I 5-9-table as always & close to the promotion 1mils, looking at gap time between hands I found out I have about a 1:1500-2500 chance of getting it on my table... giving me an averaged equity of slightly less than nothing.
For this promotion to be worth even close to anything it'd have to be at least every 100k hands if not more than that. The 2x vpp to this one is ridiculous.

Definately ^^ week 4 better give me a hard on

the rail is always ******ed during milestone hands
and so are the players, obv

Seat 5: CollegeStd23 folded on the Flop

so close. pushed all-in on the flop with flush draw and got 2 callers. no luck. the lucky bastard won with top pair and received over $1000 bonus. It was on nl200 table.

shoving preflop is dumb just because the pot is 2x for the winner, so the rail is pretty stupid
