Two Million Dollars Worth of Payoffs




Well that's confidence. Look at how PokerStars is being so magnanimous and declares that all these lucky players will be sharing in two million dollars of rewards cash. Like there was a committee for advertising that said, "Let's give out two million dollars of rewards on milestones cash! We are sure to rope in all the play money players that weren't impressed by hooking Rafa in!"

The problem is that these alleged milestone reward hands are based on weird formulas where things like amounts bet, frequent player points and doubling the amount for the lucky winner. If there was any sense to the claim they would admit it's an estimate and say something sensible like "at least two million."

But we all know by now that PokerStars doesn't really operate based on math.
