Such an awesome promo! Its really rare to have such good cash prizes for this kind of stuff. Tempted to get in myself but I don't think I will have enough time to make it worth it unfortunately!

Who is going for the big 250k?

well I personally don't like fast foward games but probably I'll try this out. let's see it I can do 250k hands.

let's make an deposit on bwin.

I'm aiming to play 60k hands at 10NL as part of a BR challenge series I'll be doing for the site, 250k is just way too much for me timewise unfortunately!

I've just opted in on Bwin. I probably won't get that many hands in as I've got a lot planned this leave. But still worth a try. I also foun €160 in my Bwin account that I completely forgot about

Anyone experiencing any lag? I'm playing on Bwin and its very slow. Its more than likely down to my internet or laptop, but just encase! Only managed 500 hands today, but I've only been playing for under 2 hours so I can't complain. Might have another bash later on before the wife gets back.

the site is very laggy..pobably due to the increase of the player pool

Nice start in terms of volume. shitty results, too many suckouts...lost 3BI lol

well 25k left to the first 150$ let's see if I can continue without depositng (I have about 8BI

) a bit crazy but the suckouts need to stop sometime

Quick question, I already have a Partypoker account which is not link to Pokervip, can I create one on Bwin and link it to Pokervip or Bwin and Partypoker are the same thing (since they offer the same promotion)? Thanks and sorry for any mistake, my english is still not on point

Hey. I also had a party poker account which wasn't linked to PokerVIP so I made a Bwin account which is now linked. So I would recommend just making a Bwin account through PokerVIP.

They are not linked so gogogogogo and make your new Bwin account now

And what about the poker?

Sod it I'm in. Aiming for 60k hands 4 tables of 10nl. Good luck all!

I have officially started out my grind today with some very low volume to test out the new software.

Can anyone explain to me why the 3x button is making it .60c at the 10NL tables and not 3x BB's?! This seems like a pretty controversial way of doing it!!

Overall though I'm pretty impressed with the software, it's super quick. Multi tabling this I can see myself hitting in excess of 1k hands an hour which will be awesome for this challenge.

Solid start

Well that was an unmitigated disaster. 2.4k hands played and down 5 buy ins. Some of the highlights of the session:

JJ all in fourway for a 400BB pot on a J34 board vs 33, 67 and AA. 33 hits quads.
K9s all in for 150BB on a 7TJ monotone flop vs ATo with the naked A high flush that gets there.
J8 all in a QT9 board vs QQ and KJ. I binked a runner runner flush to take it down.

Overall the pool seems nitty enough. Far less aggressive than the stars zoom pools. I made some pretty thin calls/bets and the majority of the time they seemed to have it so will need to adjust my strategy and move towards a more ABC game. Also it took a bit of getting used to 4 tabling again, I haven't played 4 tables of fast poker in quite some time!

Nothing you do about the weird raise sizes, at least that I have been able to work out. If you are using windows you can download Party Caption. Its free for !0nl and below.

@fergrberger

I was fortunate to have a good start. I do miss my HUD a little.
