Throwables Challenges at Pokerstars are back!

[Marshmalo1994]

pokerstars has announced new challenges to get throwables!

I barely use them, but there are some throwables that I like and don't have them.

The conditions are simple:

-You have 15 days from today to opt-in. That allows you to instantly get one throwable (the toilet paper one).

-Then you have 28 days (till Sep 19) to complete the challenges, or at least complete as many as you can.

-There are 3 categories, 4 throwables each.
The first category are Spin and Gos.
The second category are Zoom games (excluding ring games).
The third one are mtts

Only real money counts, and there's no a minimum stakes required.

I personally think that simply playing regularly, the different challenges are going to be completed.

As an extra category, if you complete a 'column', you'll get a special throwable. I haven't see them before, I think that are brand new ones. Each one represent a suit of the cards, but I haven't seen the animation.

Let's share you're progress throu this event!

Good? So we can practice throwing these throwables on you right

Probably it's fun for those who like to throw them and who play regularly. But I somehow think it's two different groups of players.

Absolutely. I was surprised when I saw someone using them at the SM final table 😅

Such a shame that people in sweden can not take part in this promotion. I would have loved to play formats, I normally dont play, just to get something new to throw at other players. Or maybe not

 

[Marshmalo1994]

I played Spin and gos today, the minimun ones of $0.25. Is the only format that I'm not use to play regularly. I got 3 throwables, and +$3.

I've realized that there's a very hard challenge with the objective to play 2 games with a x5 multiplier (not necessarily in a row). That's 2.5% each.

I've always thought these to be utterly stupid. I still do and cannot see me ever thinking otherwise.

I've always enjoyed using Throwables. It's a fun way to communicate with other players at the table.

ive collected 9 out of 12 so far and made some money. i love throwables, brings a fun edge to the game.

Anyone else lost throwables though? I had a heart of fire that disappeared from my list. Pain if you completed challenge for it. Was quite a good one.

I lost the free one. The toilet paper. At the moment I still have the other ones.

Has anyone completed the 2 X5 spin and gos? I played at least 20 games, but never had a X5 multiplier.
Edit: odds says that you can get 2.5 X5 in 100 games

All multipliers above 5 count, so a 10x and a 5x will do it, completed this today.
Below is the table and the probabilities for the amount in the spins, it's much less than 1 in 100 games/spins

The hardest one is the Zoom one for the trashcan/bin, win 1 hand at the button with an A high street (both holecards must be used),
You have to play any broadway combo (AK, AQ, AJ, AT, KQ, KJ, KT, QJ, QT, JT) mostly as a call behind but the dynamics are ultra aggro mostly you get a 3-bet from the SB or BB, this thingy is costly. If you 3-bet there with AK mostly the action is dead, and all fold.

Oh ok, at least higher multipliers count. Good to know. So it'll be 35900/1M > 3.59%

In zoom I was able to do the Ace high straight, I didn't remember it had to be from the button. I think that I needed like a hundred hands. Now I need to win like 8 more hands from te button.

I will have a look, thank you. Sometimes, some player on table really deserve to receive a Throwable.

 

[Marshmalo1994]

I finally did it! The tomato is gone tho

You don't win any 💸💸💸 , right ?

Why did you assume that?
Did you mean during the challenge? Some bucks I guess

 

[greenlarrow]

I will just play and execute in parallel. Because I once lost $20 while I did everything
