Poker Stars F40
Poker Stars.com (www.Pokerstars.com) likes to celebrate milestones and this February is no exception. The poker site will be celebrating 40 billion hands dealt by offering many cash prizes to players and great value tournaments.
The site is calling this promotion the F40; the focus is on thanking the many players who have made Poker Stars the standout poker playing website that it is. Including cash prizes, the site is offering guarantees, milestone rewards, and many freerolls, as well as a special VIP club instant cash credit.
In the cash games category, one of the most exciting games will be the F40 milestone hands. This is a bit complicated, but here’s how Poker Stars is awarding cash. Players who are dealt into every millionth poker hand will be awarded money based on their play in the previous 40 hands played at that table. Every player playing at that table during the millionth hand dealt will be eligible to win this extra cash.
Let’s use the Poker Stars example to explain how this will work. If you’re playing at a table and you get dealt into a milestone hand, Poker Stars will automatically calculate how many VPPs you have earned at the last 40 hands at that table. As an example, let’s say you earned 31 VPPs. Every player in that millionth hand will be awarded one extra VPP. Now you have a total of 32 VPPs. Every player is awarded at least $40 per VPP just for playing in that millionth hand.
If your win is $40 with 32 VPPs, you would win $1,280. The player who wins the hand at that millionth table will see his or her winnings doubled, so using the same 32 VPPs scenario, that player will now be awarded with $2,560.
Once the 40 billion mega milestone is reached, every player dealt into that 40 billionth hand will be awarded $400 for every VPP earned in the previous 40 hands played at that table. If you went into the game with 31 VPPS, and got your extra VPP (32), times $400 for every VPP, you would win $12,800 just for being dealt into that 40 billionth hand. If you were to win that hand, you would win $25,600.
The site will also offer bonuses at multi-table tournaments, sit and go’s and to members of the site’s VIP club.
