Another poker challenge - from 5$ to 100`000$ (17.08)
'Boku87' has achieved some impressive things in his poker career - he was a Supernova Elite
2007, successfully completed a challenge to turn $100 into $10,000 in
just 14 days, and finished 14th in the EPT Grand Final in 2008. However
his latest challenge will be the biggest yet!
His goal is to turn $5 into a staggering $100,000
in just 12 months - a true test of not only his poker skills but also
of his bankroll management abilities. $5 does not allow much play
without a serious risk of going bust! 'Boku87' will be completing The
Challenge exclusively on PokerStars.com, staring out at the 10 cent
SNG’s and 2/4 cents Fixed Limit cash games. Once his bankroll begins to
build, he can start playing 25 cents SNG’s before moving to the $1.10
SNG’s once his bankroll allows it. From there, he has the option of
$1.75 18-man SNG’s and $3 SNG’s before moving to bigger buy-ins once he
builds his bankroll to roughly 70-80 buy-ins of the next level up.
‘Boku87’ will be playing for about 8 hours every day to try and reach
the magic $100,000 mark as fast as possible.
PokerStars.com
will be bring you regular news of how the challenge is going, and
Boku87 himself will be writing a blog for PokerStars charting his
progress. His blog will be updated twice a week with his thoughts on
how the challenge is progressing and the strategy he is using. Sit
back, enjoy the ride and make sure you look out for ‘Boku87’ at the
tables to wish him luck!

withdraw the money you want.

to pay more than 1, 5 Euro, regardless the sum you are transferring.
You can at every time check the balance of your account only by using
your e-mail address. You can transfer the money from Moneybookers to
your bank account (some pre-verification is necessary).
You
can check this possibility simply by transferring some money from your
bank to Moneybookers. Or you can change with somebody who has already
opened his account by Moneybookers, and pay him for making the
transfer. This Service is completely safe. You do not have to be aware
of financial crises or robbers.

640.000$ bad beat jackpot, and still growing (22.05)
You feel like screaming. You claw at your hair in agony. You've just
lost a huge pot to a really bad suck out. You just took a really Bad Beat. Though instead of the agony and frustration...what if there was cash. Lots of cash. More cash than you could count.
Currently Bad Beat Jackpot
Well if you're playing on the listed bad beat tables at CarbonPoker your worst bad beat may become the best hand you ever play with the massive Bad Beat Jackpot.
In any Texas Hold'em game, you will be looking to maximise your value
when you pick up Quads. The chance to go all-in is automatic, but what
happens if your opponent is holding higher Quads, or even a Straight
Flush?
These are the worst of the Bad Beats, though with the Bad Beat Jackpot, these hands could see you pocketing thick wads of cash.
The jackpot is seeded by taking 50 cents from every pot on the specially labelled ring game
tables. As soon as a player has a monster hand cracked, the jackpot
will be won, with every active player at the table receiving a portion
of the prize money! The player with the losing hand will pick up the
biggest percentage, so if you have Quad sevens or better using both
hole cards, you should definitely hope to get beaten!
Bad Beat Payout Structure
Requirements
Bad Beat Jackpot requirements:
The losing hand must be at least a Four of a Kind 7's
The winning hand must be at least a Four of a Kind 8's
Both the winning and losing hands must include both hole cards.
At least four players must be dealt in at the start of the hand
The hand must have generated jackpot rake (ie. $0.50)
Two or more players must be active at the end of the hand, and it must go to showdown.
CarbonPoker
does not tolerate collusion. All players must act independently and not
reveal their hands to other players, nor tell them how to act. Failure
to adhere to this requirement will result in automatic disqualification
from the Bad Beat Jackpot.
Players sitting out at the Bad Beat Jackpot tables are not eligible for the Bad Beat Jackpot.
Should
two qualifying jackpot hands hit at precisely the same time, the
jackpot will be awarded to the hand that began first according to
CarbonPoker's server time. The second of the qualifying bad beat hands
would be eligible for the reseeded Bad Beat Jackpot.
If
there are two or more hands that qualify for the jackpot within one
hand, then the two highest hands will be considered for the jackpot,
with the highest hand being the winning hand and the second highest
hand winning the bad beat.

How to win a Porsche Cayman with Pokerstars (11.05)
The $1 Million Turbo Takedown tournament is one year old, and to celebrate we’ve decided to turbo charge the prizes up for grabs by giving away a brand new Porsche Cayman S - the 10th Porsche to be awarded by PokerStars! Even better, we’ve lowered the buy-in to the May edition of this $1,000,000 guarantee tournament from 5,000 Frequent Player Points (FPPs) to just 2,000!
Having already awarded 9 Porsches to our players so far, we have chosen the PokerStars Turbo Takedown as the perfect route to reward our players with the 10th! What’s more, we've also increased the tournament cap to 30,000 players - that means 10,000 players will receive a share of the $1,000,000 prize pool. So for just 2,000 FPPs, you could win a Porsche Cayman S and cash prizes worth a combined value of approximately $100,000!
This special edition of the $1 Million PokerStars Turbo Takedown will take place on Sunday, May 31 at 14:30 ET.
This No-limit Hold’em event guarantees that 10,000 players will walk
away with money, so you stand a great chance of turning your FPP
credits into real cash.
If you don’t want to use that
many of your Frequent Player Points, don’t worry. You can qualify for
this one-of-a-kind tournament via one of our many satellites -
they’re running around the clock from as little as 8 FPP credits. You
can find the satellites located in the PokerStars lobby, under the

gives you a real opportunity to withdraw some money from the poker room
or from the bookmakers. Straight after successful registration, you may
withdraw the money you want.
This account is free of charge.
You have to pay some insignificant sums by doing certain operations.
For making a transfer from international to polish bank you do not have
to pay more than 1, 5 Euro, regardless the sum you are transferring.
You can at every time check the balance of your account only by using
your e-mail address. You can transfer the money from Moneybookers to
your bank account (some pre-verification is necessary).

can check this possibility simply by transferring some money from your
bank to Moneybookers. Or you can change with somebody who has already
opened his account by Moneybookers, and pay him for making the
transfer. This Service is completely safe. You do not have to be aware
of financial crises or robbers.

The Method to Our Madness
To participate in Sit & Go Madness, look for Sit & Gos highlighted in green. Buy-ins for these tournaments are broken into four separate groups, as shown below:
The 48 hours of Sit & Go Madness will be divided into 24, two-hour blocks (e.g., 16:00 ET to 18:00 ET, 18:00 ET to 20:00 ET, and so forth) throughout the weekend with a Leaderboard
for each of the four groups during every time period. The top seven
players in each group will be paid at the end of every two-hour block:
Sit & Go Madness
GROUP A $1 to $2
GROUP B $5 to $11
GROUP C $20 to $33
GROUP D $50 to $110

Overall Leaderboards
There is also an Overall Leaderboard for each group over the entire
48-hour period. The Overall Leaderboard is determined by the best
performance in one of the two-hour time periods. There is no cumulative
calculation with the Overall Leaderboards.
So, if a player in Group A earns 100 points for the 22:00 ET to
00:00 ET period on Friday and then 150 points for the 00:00 ET to 02:00
ET period on Saturday, it's only the 150 points that will be reflected on the Overall Leaderboard.
The top two players in each group's Overall Leaderboard will meet in a $5K Sit & Go Freeroll where the top three places will be paid. The Freeroll will take place the following weekend - Saturday, April 4th at 16:30 ET. So even if you put up a high score in one of the two-hour blocks, it pays to keep trying to best your score.

Thomas "boku" Boeckhoff has reached the end of the
15-day challenge and he has successfully managed to turn $100 into
$10,000 after playing more than 7,000 SnG's in two weeks.
As we reported earlier Boku made a prop-bet with the poker community,
claiming that he can turn $100 into $10,000 in just 15 days by playing
nothing but SnGs.
Boku's challenge is over and after 14 days of play he managed to reach
his target - a profit of over $9,900. This means that not only he
succeeded in winning the challenge, but he did so with some time to
spare.
$10,000 in 2 weeks
After an incredible start, which allowed him to quickly settle on the $11 & $16 SNG levels Bokuhad to persevere several long break-even and downswing
phases in which he stagnated for up to 2 days without moving forward.
Instead of despairing he increased his volume and started playing even
longer hours. His record was 678 SNGs in one day.
According to his blog though, the true
breakthrough came when he realized that it wasn't just the volume - but
also the quality that was essential to winning this bet.
He therefore reduced the amount of tables he would play during the
second half of the day, which was rewarded with higher win rates.
Overall, he played a total of 7,432 games (with 381,804 hands) with buy-ins ranging from $1 to $16 and his average ROI was 15%. In short, he made $1.36 for every SnG he played.
Below you can see boku's overal graph for the 14 days:
The "boku Challenge" has brought Thomas '
boku' Boeckhoff more than just the "Victory" and the money gained from perma-grinding for 14 days and winning the propbet.
His challenge was the main topic of discussion for thousands of poker
players all around the world, with many calling him a living legend and
over 1,000 players railing him during the final tournaments. Even PokerStars has seemingly gained interest in "one of the best SNG players of our time" (as stated by PokerStars VIP supporter Scotty).
PokerStars
is apparently planning a blog story, a podcast interview and few
further "items" on boku's sensational achievement. In addition to this
the poker room will be offering a $10,000 freeroll for all those players that decided to bet against
boku in the challenge. That means $10.000 prize money, nine paid spots and
the chance to kick the player to whom they lost their money, out of the
tournament is waiting for the 37 players who had bet against him.

March Madness - up tp 2000$ free cash (15.03)
You can win a pot of gold in our March Madness promotion!
As you play real money poker,
you earn Comp Points which have a variety of uses, and we're now adding
even more value to Comp Points to help you win free cash as you play.
To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, we've gone Irish and added pots of gold
for every player to win!
In your player admin section,
a customized rainbow will track your Comp Point earnings throughout
March, and pay out a pot of gold with each increment achieved. Each
color on the rainbow will have a Comp Point goal, and as you work
towards that level, the colours on the rainbow will fill up. Every time
you fill up one of the colors, the corresponding pot of gold will light
up, and you are a winner! The more Points you earn, the more you will
win.
You can receive up to $2000 free cash in total during March Madness
by winning all pots of gold on the rainbow. The payouts increase as you
earn more, so go on a roll to reach the top prize of $1000 free cash!
Comp Points are automatically earned as you play real money games, so you can simply continue to play your favourite ring games or tournaments
and work towards free cash at the same time! Look out for the rainbow
Comp Point counter in your player admin, and create your own free cash
goal for March!

Are you ready to face Team PokerStars Pro?
Think
you've got what it takes to be part of a team that can beat the biggest
names in poker? It's time to prove it with the PokerStars All Star Week. We are assembling a team of All Star Challengers that will go one-on-one with Team PokerStars Pro in a series of heads-up matches March 23-29. Get your place on the team and you'll be playing for cash prizes, and the pride that comes with beating the best players in the game.
Any PokerStars player can make it onto the All Star Challengers line-up. If you scooped the Sunday Million in 2008, finished high on the Yearly Tournament Leader Board, made it to Supernova Elite or reached a WCOOP final table, you'll be getting a special invite to take part in the All Star Week. But even if you don't fit into any of these categories, you can still be part of the action. For just $11, you can qualify as a wildcard
and get your place on the team that takes on Team PokerStars Pro. Every
player that makes the cut will also be rewarded with a ticket to the $1,050 SCOOP - All Stakes Main Event.
Whether
you're a wildcard or an invited player, beating Team PokerStars Pro
isn't going to be easy. It's a line-up full of champions, with 17 bracelets and millions of dollars in tournament winnings between them. If you're up to the challenge and are ready to prove that you can be a poker All Star, see the How to Qualify page to find out how you can take part in this exclusive event.
We'll be keeping you up to date with the latest news on our results page. You can also get reports from each heads-up match at the PokerStars Blog.
Heads-Up Match Schedule
There will be five heads-up matches every day, from March 23-29, starting at 12:00 ET, 14:00 ET, 16:00 ET, 18:00 ET and 20:00 ET. Each match will see one of the Challengers face off against a member of Team PokerStars Pro. All matches will be No Limit Hold'em, except for the 16:00 ET match, which will change each day in the following order: Stud, Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Lo, Pot Limit Omaha, Limit Hold'em, Limit 5 Card Draw, Limit Omaha Hi-Lo and Stud Hi-Lo.
Prizes
Each heads-up match will award $1,000 to the player that wins the match for their team. What's more, when all matches are complete, the winning team will share a prize pool of $1,000
for each match they won. For example, if the Challengers win 20 out of
the 35 heads-up matches, they'll get to share a total prize pool of $20,000! All money won by Team PokerStars Pro will be donated to a charity chosen by team Captain Victor Ramdin.
We'll also be giving away a 1-stamp PokerStars Passport to the Challengers team member named as MVP. Check the How to Qualify page to find out more.

tables. By gathering PartyPoints you can collect cards with which to

full poker hand. If this 5 card hand is a Royal Flush, you will win an incredible $1,000,000!
You can build a full poker hand twice a day. That means after having
collected 150 PartyPoints you will have reached the maximum number of
hands for day. The important thing to take into account here is that
you have to reveal your cards manually! If you don't reveal your cards-
they become invalid.
The promotion is vald from the 11th of March 0:00 ET (5:00 CET - Summer Time!) until the 22nd of March 23:59 ET(23rd
