erm what?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

great package - but what are these!?

boys only trip?

looks fantastic package on offer

Wow that's some pkg.

That's what all the girls say to Kev.

FYP

i edited my first reply to save all these jokes :)

What is the competition like on those? I'd imagine they're going to be rather competitive.

generally the standard is very weak but may attract a few better players for this promo

Cant wait for them to start tbh ...  $10+2 comps they are going to be in everyone's price range.

Just imagine the tension if you get 5 under the belt and get heads up in the 6th .... NURSE !!!!

You've only got to buck odds of 46,655-1 to win the package.

Easy money.

or 1000000-1 if you play like me

We all thought it Iron, noone was cruel enough to say it!  ;ifm;

Do they start once every couple of minutes. Do you need to win 6 in a row as in have all 6 going at once?

The first six you enter i think mate.

yes, its the first six you enter, despite what order they finish in.

Normally start every couple of mins

I doubt I could handle 6 at once.

You dont have to handle 6 at once, you could play one a day if you wanted to.

By my calcs you'd just need a 1st% of ~18.5% to make the $1 jackpot rake a profitable bet.

As I would expect most good players 1st % to exceed 20%, this isn't a bad punt assuming the $25k package is something you want (ie, if it's worth $25k to you personally).

Kev, the numbers in the OP with the prize breakdown only add up to $24,650.

Have I miscounted, is there something missing, or is the $25k figure quoted just a rounding up for simplicity?

The kind of player who only averages exactly one out of six wins when playing $10 jackpot 6-person STTs on i-poker is likely to get spanked by normal rake and lose in normal games too.

A competent player gives up nowt on this $1 jackpot bet imo.

Dinner for 2= :dontask:

Isn't that one of the executive perks, the total value of which was listed at $2,150

Do you get the normal loyalty bonus on jackpot rake as per normal rake?

confirm executive percs, are hookers and coke and im in.

rotflmfao rotflmfao

Playing Devil's Advocate here, but don't promotions like this encourage collusion?  And, given that, what do you think of the following scenario.  Say you play all your entries against the same group of players, be that six from a group of six or, say, six from a group of ten.  In the games themselves, you play it totally straight and do not collude in any way.  In the unlikely event of someone winning six in a row, would they receive the jackpot?

You would NOT get paid out under this scenario ... there is a lengthy T&C list to accompany this promo, I will post it shortly.

I didnt make the rules ... It really is a case of if you are happy with the T&C's play them ... if they dont suit you, then dont play them.

Kev, if you play a $50+$9 jackpot game, do you get XX% of $9 worth of loyalty bonus?

Where XX% = 30% or whatever

I get it as 6755-1 based on my 23% winrate

31 man operation

1 winner

6 batches of 5 stooges ftw

 ;bump;

Good luck with that.

yup

Worth playing then prerhaps.

I wonder how people approach them?
I'd probs learn the ICM on 3 different payout patterns

50:30:20:0:0:0 for the normal games
50:50:0:0:0:0 when you've 3 x top 2 in a rows.
and of course
100:0:0:0:0:0 when you've 3 x 1sts in a row.

The big drawback being that it hurts the multi-tabler when one comp goes quicker than another, because you don't know what the previous results will be and of course they will affect how you should play the later ones.

That fact alone is probably what kind of turns me off them a wee bit. Having to batter into the 5th and 6th tourneys in 100:0:0:0:0:0 mode or 50:50:0:0:0:0 mode without having the knowledge of where you're going to finish in the 4th one.
This will hurt you in these coz the payout is ridic flat for a six max 50:30:20.

Hmmm
