I'm surprised there's no official thread on this. And I can't find the answers to my questions anywhere on the internet. Haha.

Anyway, my questions are:

1. You need Ks-Kc, does it include Kc-Ks?

2. Win post flop: meaning as long as you see a flop and win the pot with or without getting to showdown?

I'm 99% sure about the 2nd question, just need clarification. Clueless about the first question though.

4) You are playing Zoom
5) You Boom the hand

As long as all of the above are true for the same hand, your hand is a winner. One winning hand per player per day, Eastern (US) time.

Essentially, if you hold the hand KcKs (or KsKc) and you win when the hand gets to at least the flop (i.e. you make profit on the hand), you get 100bb for free from pokerstars for the limit you're playing. You have to be playing Zoom though, and then share the hand using Boom, otherwise your hand won't be eligible for the promotion.

Ahh. So split pots count too? As long as you profit?

is there a way to get hands from my handhistory (txt file) into boom!

Because I found out too late about the promotion but i have some zoom hand that i played where i won with KsKc.

I can't find how to do this.

I have official hand history of these zoom hands so stars should be able to verify but i can't get them into boom :(

grtz

Hey blackietje,

Probably best to ask PokerStars support about this.

support@pokerstars.com is their email address and you should have an answer within a few hours :)

Regards,
Gary.

Ehm is this still going on?

When I click your link the pokerstars main page just pops up, and I cant find anything under "special offers".

Is it because I am from Denmark I can't participate? :f_eek:

EDIT:
Nvm it ended yesterday. Damnit just won with KcKs! :f_frown:
