[OFFICIAL] PokerStars MTT Thread - Page 403 - MTT Poker Strategy

Don't know what the prizes are for this iteration, but the last win 2x 180man promotion had some of the highest EV in Stars giveaway history.

Definitely worth playing if it's the same.

It is the VERY same. The only catch - it's a big catch if you miss it - is that it is for a limited time... basically the 'ghost of christmas past' is bringing this back for a few hours only. Once you guys rinse us for six figures or so, it's gone. There will be no countdown or warning.

The correct strat is to load up as many 50 cent turbos and 1 dollar hypers as will run and just click buttons until you win 2 of them.

We are definitely paying $low-six-figures out today in this promo. It's not about a bat and switch to get people registering before taking away the prize, it is about first-win-first-served. If you give it a shot, good luck!

David, Will the on-demand $15 27-180 and $4.50 36-180 player sngs count or would they have to fill up to 180 to count? Or would they just not count at all? Thanks.

if you want to know, who binked this challenge, just take a look at Events - Christmas Celebrations - 25k shootout. So the few lucky ones who bink this 500$ EV shot also get a big chunk of this 25k thingie.

When u click Challenges from the PS client and then the "i" at top right - it is written that only 180 bots sngmtts counts. So if that on demand do not fill to 180, doesnt count. I suggest to play a lot of 0.5$ turbo/1$ normal speed /2.5$ turbo. The variance of 180 players 1# hypers should be pritty big so i wont play them.

The on-demands also seem to have just been re-deployed as up to 270 players, don't know if this is just for today to avoid confusion or a permanent thing.

"up to 1k"

https://puu.sh/yGcbh/f44e935d69.jpg
"up to 5k"

& also please check out if it makes sense to have PSKO HU Zooms as full KO. I played a bunch of them, but stopped playing them due to their insane high variance.

Just an example where 2nd place even ends up with a loss & first gets 60x more money than 2nd. https://puu.sh/yzPeL/2af045728d.png
I like the idea of a Zoom PSKO Heads Up, but as full KO people stop playing poker. As soon as they get a hand they move all in and hope that they get called.
I am pretty sure a 50 % PSKO HU Zoom would attrackt a lot more people.

The first decent promo on stars and obviously Luke's not involved in it

I changed my plans tonight and can't wait to play, well done. That's how you get people to play extra days

Challenge window bugged for me. After winning the first game the Start became "unclicked" again (100% certain I clicked it) and after clicking it it showed 0 of 2 won. Then after winning the second it still only counted that one.

Overall great promotion though, coming from someone who doesn't ever play 180mans and hates basically all the usual promotions.

Like 40 % of the players in those 1 $ Hyper Turbo 180s are from Japan.

Yeah strange but I guess they can't be that good and the extra liquidity is beneficial since this promo is all about volume.
