PokerStars The Zoom Accumulator

Cashed for 15$. I was close to the 25$ mark but my JJ ran into 44 and lost. Sigh! At least there are 2 more of these 250K to go.

papi1207 · Jun 22, 2015

finished 421st for 86 $, not bad for freeroll with just 5000 starting chips

I'm barely playing in NL2 and afraid if it is worth to deal with. Is zoom NL5 much harder than zoom NL2? And how really is that 250k tourney near bubble: push-fold or "lof-of-blinds-comfortable" enough?

I think because this promo is only open to 5NL Zoom & upwards, that the field is just as soft, or more likely, even softer than 2NL Zoom.
As for the 250k Tourney itself, IMO unless you are very unlucky or particularly card dead, then you should have plenty of chips by the time the bubble play comes into effect to see you through safely.

Before this promo I played only couple of thousand hands on 2NL zoom, cause I dont play cashgame a lot. So I was little bit affraid of playing on 5NL too. But in my opinion competition isnt any harder. It might be because A LOT of players who dont usually play 5NL are also playing, so the field of players is soften now during promo than normal. I made profit 30$ in around 3000 hands, just from playing CG to get into those tournaments.

And those tournaments? I played first one and I basically only needed to make 1 double up (Starting with 10K) and then won just few times blinds and I got ITM with no problem. There are quiet a lot of sitouts and also not everyone starting with 10k so you have advantage over huge percentage of participants if you start with maximum possible stack.

Don't forget to press START in the challenge window, or else your QQ winning hands might earn you $$, but won't earn you any chips in the $250k zoom FR... I made this mistake myself today, but luckily realised after the first pair of ladies.
Good luck on the grind everybody!

Nice promo my resault not so good as I would like to be

BlackMember · Jun 24, 2015

It took me about 2500 hands to accumulate 10 times and win with pocket QQ. On one table was even 600 bb

Grand total today +$37

zarzar78 · Jun 24, 2015

Out in 5000+ position for 10$, and it was not that easy ; was playing on my phone, and bust bye KK < AA , so 25$ in total for 2 freerolls , not that bad

BlackMember · Jun 28, 2015

Good luck everyone today

OMG getting beat the shit trying to do queens

Shumkoolie · Jun 28, 2015

I don't know about the rest of you, but I found that playing the 72 was actually easier than Queens. For starters, I was getting 72 far more often, LOL!!!

Imagine if there was a Pocket Jacks promotion? That would be sick. I think a lot of people should, in preparation of playing that exact promotion should watch the following video. I think it would be very helpful. I think many of seen this one before.

ROGUE63 · Jun 28, 2015

pain_pain_go_away · Jun 28, 2015

Wow, just went from the bubble to 4.5k people left in seconds!

OUT.2220th:ciao:... Was already spending that $25k....
Good luck all left in.

WeenieSVK · Jun 28, 2015

That was one of the most frustrating tournaments I ever played... I couldnt win any hand, was always worse in SD. I missed all flops. Won only one hand AIPF. Then when blinds started to eat me I was completely card dead. Finished like 90 places from money. SOOO FRUSTRATING

To lose like this, its even worse than get suckout in first hand, cause it last longer and result is same...

And QQ challenge. I played 1500 hands and got QQ only twice... dafuq. At least I won with them

ROGUE63 · Jun 28, 2015

12 bucks sigh

vic75 · Jun 28, 2015

Out in 3370th place for $12 was card dead after the bubble decided too shove with 2 and a half big blinds A2 lost too big stack big blind Q8 nice promo got 10k Chips for next week GL.

LD1977 · Jun 28, 2015

Missed this one, cashed in first 2 though.

Gorak · Jun 29, 2015

I managed to cash for $11 in the KK one. Could have been much better if my AK didn't meet big stack with AA.

I have finished the QQ challenge. So see you in the next tourney.

Gorak · Jul 1, 2015

Am I the only one that feels those large field zoom poker tourneys are like Aggro Land on steroids? I mean 95% of my BB was raised. And when I defend, I better flop good because they will fire barrels.

ROGUE63 · Jul 1, 2015

ya its pretty, wild gorak ;got 9/10 on QQ so far

adenosine · Jul 5, 2015

Cashed for $69 in the QQ game, only started with 2k chips also

I wish I had participated in the other challenges cuz the field was super soft
