Rubbish! I played Poker for the first time in months last night and won the 9 player Sit and Go, Just to keep my treasure chest Active, It was due to cancel itself out on the 8th of this month so I needed to play in order to keep it running, It is now active until sometime in March. but just before I logged back out I noticed I had an active chest, so I opened it and won a Power Path ticket, so I thought why not?
I joined in the first available game and like the Spin and Go games there were 3 players, the Wheel spun and the Prize was $1 Dollar so not wanting to waste my time playing for a Dollar, I pushed all-in on my first hand A/J and the other 2 players probably felt the same way because they both called and it was game over, one player had Q/9 and paired the 9.
You might be better off playing the Lottery because that is all it seems to be a LOTTERY!

Precisely, I find the structure of hyper and turbo games abusive, as we have been saying all along that poker is a game of strategy, and thought, however, how to think in an interval of 1 to 3 minutes, that is, between 1 - 3 minutes or The big blind goes up a lot and you end up having to go all in in just 3 to 5 poker hands.
These structures make me believe that we play against robots, as they do this to test their card systems.
There should be a rule for poker stalls, one of which is that games in this format are prohibited where you are forced to go all in with less than 5 poker hands dealt.

My suggestion is to Cardchat, that instead of giving us power path tickets, they could give us free tickets for any tournament. This would help us much more, as we could choose fairer games

I tried to qualify through tournaments, but the stacks in the qualifiers are small, there are a lot of players, and it feels like you’re playing a lottery, I don’t see the point of playing specifically, except to load up with the main ones

GG SUNDAY 109$
AA vs KK
turn K

This is just another chance to win something without investing money.

It definitely works I’ve won a silver power path pass worth 2.5k I’m going to hopefully use for EPT Barcelona. I don’t play much online poker, maybe once or twice a month. I topped up 11 dollars and played the 11 dollars step. Placed in that game and was auto registered to 109 dollar game, came 2nd in that to win the silver pass. Decent return I think from 11 dollars

I'm not a huge fan and I dont take them seriously, although I have a few $11 tickets stored, i dont force myself to use them instantly. Just and when I can be bothered. For those with smaller bankrolls I can see the advantages of taking them seriously and try and move up the ladder

I think it's boring. It's just boring. Playing for a ticket to win another ticket, and then a ticket and a ticket again... and even before that, some tournaments are hyper turbo. Boring and, in my opinion, not very promising.

Is this a valuable game to play? I'm going to be doing the daily free game but I was wondering if it's a game that has good odds for making money. If it is good to play, what step would you guys suggest? Thank you for replies.

Of course, the more expensive the ticket, the better it is. At least I consider more or less promising tickets starting from $1.5. The ones that cost 50 cents and a $1 are some kind of junk.

yogo9 · Dec 5, 2023

It is definitely a valuable game to play with a chance to win big, Start with step 2 and play many of them and you can make a lots of money from such a small buy-in.

ADRI7HO · Dec 7, 2023

I think Power Path is a good option because it guarantees a lot of tickets and the number of players is large, so it's easier to get into ITM.

moularaki · Dec 7, 2023

i think it's a joke and waist of time

M13A13 · Dec 16, 2023

Reading the comments I noticed that most players didn't like Power Path, this is because, although the idea is brilliant, Power Path is a horrible satellite, where you participate in those horrible hyper and turbo tournaments.

NootNoot · Dec 16, 2023

Hate it! I usually save up a few $0.50 tickets then play 5 or 6 in a row.

Furthest I've got is to level 3.

That's why for me. Players jamming all-in every hand, the variance is huge at that first level. So many suck outs.

I'm not going to lie, I could adjust and hopefully improve at them. I mostly play cash games so it's not really my thing.

I don't blame Stars for wanting them over quickly, it's a free ticket. They're not going to want deep stacks with a slow structure using as it would cost them more to host the longer they last.

Miyagi not miyaji · Dec 17, 2023

I've played a bunch of the 0,50 and 1$ ones with daily tickets. It's pretty much a crapshoot to gain better prizes. Won a 11 ticket once but I couldn't win the Sunday Million Ticket.

Rost · Dec 17, 2023

In my opinion, this challenge is not particularly promising. I've already spent over $50 worth of tickets, but so far I haven't been lucky enough to win a $109 ticket. Sadly. Of course, I will continue to participate in this challenge as long as our freerolls have these tickets instead of cash prizes.

I've spent $10 & won 3x $109

This promotion has got to be the easiest way to get a $109 ticket. On top of the satellites being filled with very bad players, they also have 'seats added' making them even greater value!

I strongly disagree!

hexplore35 · Dec 18, 2023

Free ticket 0.50 is cool

Station_Master · Dec 18, 2023

Now I've finally won a $109 ticket, I am beginning to like these! I havent won much actual money yet, but on the other hand I am only using the free tickets

Andrii Lubentsov · Dec 18, 2023

Yesterday Power Path from 0.5$ to Sunday Million.

GDKavindu · Dec 18, 2023

i felt the power path wasn't worth it

Roobz75 · Dec 28, 2023

I personally would prefer a cash prize, even if it was a couple of dollars. It seems that Pokerstars have devised this so that paying individuals for their choice of game has been removed (saving them money) and you're now just competing in knockout rounds for prizes and not playing to win money.

Roobz75 · Dec 28, 2023

Ultimately this is a Pokerstars problem or way of thinking. It's a shame that CardsChat community freerolls games have to be part of this (I think a moderator said) so you are not really playing your choice of CC games like you used to. You will be mixed into turbo games with thousands of players with a chance to win another ticket......

I have noticed the CC players registration to play at weekend freerolls have fallen a lot, since these powerpath tickets came about.
