Also mindblowing he not busto yet, hands he jam for sometimes up to 65bb are hilarious.

it definitely kills the lobby. and jrock and i have both reported him mulptiple times for this because it does violate the ToC, but apparently stars doesnt really care.

Cool. Will drop them some lines as well later. Cannot be in stars interest either so im quite confident they might at least give him a friendly warning... would be good if others write them some lines as well, teh moar teh merrier

1. Those stupid winning percentages for each player when all-in that are now appearing when I play... is that a stupid new feature of the client, or is my TN2 doing that?

2. Is it worth playing one 100NL Zoom table with the AA promotion, do you think?

EDIT: 2. I guess it is. Red AA dealt every 1,326 hands. Average bonus of, say, $20-40(?) which is equates to increase of 1.5-3BB/100 for those 1,326 hands. (40*100/1326) = 3.02BB/100

too much math

free money from stars = play

and the %s are a "stupid new feature" on stars, you can turn it off in options if you want

I suspect it will be less.

The probability that you are dealt AAdh at least once over 1326 hands is only .63. Also, not only do you have the win the hand, but you have to win it post flop.

Bonus is always 50$ on nl100

"You get dealt Ah-Ad and win the hand post-flop, before sharing it with BOOM! Hand Replayer. Your prize would then be $1 (big blind) x 50 = $50."

1. I can't imagine the extra EV is not in the $20-$40 range, although $40 may be a little high because of [3]

2. I think that's irrelevant as 1,326 is the average number of hands you would have to play.

Yes, but the EV is less of course.

Who ever decided to implement that feature needs firing.

red aces is a stupid hand to give rewards on. lets make it black 7-2o and we've got some fun games

When they had a similar promotion before, and you had to win a hand with black kings (or something similar) I forgot I was using a 4-colour deck and missed the hand whenever it came up. I went through PT later and there were several I hadn't seen.

If you play until you boom a hand, then you would be correct, but if you sit down with the intention of playing 1326 hands, you would only get 63% as much as you are saying. While the expected number of AAhd hands is 1 over that number of hands, the expected number of AAdh hands you will be able to boom (assuming you win all your hands post flop) is only .63 because sometimes you will get zero and when you get 2 you might as well have gotten 1.

It's similar to going out with a bird and shagging her on the first night. You wouldn't bother taking her out for dinner the next day, would you.
