well the odds are pretty crap, but 0-25 is awful.Β We had a guy spend 96k on POM boxes to get everyone, others spent 10k and got everyone. Just the way the see-saw works I guess.

Yeah I know it can swing either way, but 25 straight with nothing should never happen! Of course you keep thinking it has to be the next one and then nothing again. I seriously want to know how long it will go before I pull a player (and Iβm sure it will be the worst one thatβs never a bonus player) but Iβm basically just pissing gold away. I might just say screw it and take the next week off, Iβm turned off enough where Im losing all interest in the game.Β
Haha nah Iβm done, wouldnβt be surprised if they monitor these boards and adjust the odds for the people that complain. Maybe that would explain how not hitting on one box is even possible.Β

This gets me a lot too. I fell into this βtrapβ last month. I didnβt even like the potm boxes but I was thinking I might try one or two. Well, I didnβt get anyone and one thing led to another. Did 20k and got a player 3 times(2x Mercedes and a melodeon). Neither player got leveled but I just couldnβt believe I was whiffing....sigh. Denial can be a killer.Β
I actually did real well with this monthβs potm boxes. 9k got me everyone except Tatis. I decided to quit while I was still happy.Β
I opened 40 POTM boxes last night bc I felt 360 players were worth it.
I got THREE total players in 40 pulls. No, not three different players a few times. Three players IN TOTAL, one of which I pulled twice. Those odds are lies. No way one inΒ five boxes gets any player.
Then I remembered: It is VIP weekend. Box odds are rigged VIP weekends. I have only myself to blame.

For those who are curious, this is similar to failing to land a player in 17 consecutive boxes.Β
Or...you get the player when you dont play. It's no different than online poker. the hands are built to drive action.Β
I wonβt get into the theories. I have my own. Regardless, I was speaking from a mathematical perspective. If youβre a believer in this or any other theory, then the math doesnβt matter.Β

Can we agree that math plays no factor in their box pulls?

I use the odds as a baseline for expectations. My friends and I use it as a guide in terms of how we approach a given box. Some( hello @jmsorioles33 ) even have detailed spreadsheets to optimize spending. That said, I certainly don't discount the engagement theory. In fact, I'm a believer too. For everyone else, the math matters. Or at least, that's my theory.Β Β

Recently getting bored with TSB, I went back to my poker site and played a tournament Wednesday night. I completely bombed. I had lost my patience. So I played in βplay moneyβ tournament and finished 3/37 just to practice patience. Since then Iβve only played 2 tournaments (both free to enter) and finished 58/652 and 16/731 to make a whopping $3.05. The poker money goes to Loweβs where my wife and I get stuff we need for the house. Needless to say, she likes me playing poker a little more than TSB.Β
Opened two boxes yesterday.. one 500 box pulled acuna.. one 250 box pulled machado. True story π€·π»ββοΈ
Iβve had some luck over the years but never best player first pull in each box consecutively. I suppose it might be another 5 years before this happens π€
Note: didnβt login at all Friday had no signal in southern Florida. Maybe that played a factor..it worked last year but typically waited 3 days without logging in.Β

That's 3$ gained, and zero money into TSB. I love it. And, I'm sure you had fun too, which is a big plus
I do miss getting my ass handed to me game after game brother when you would start that POTM pitcher against me a few years back π₯. But other than that I got a new phone and haven't even downloaded the app to it so I'm pretty sure I'm done for this year at least (not that I even started).

I've played pretty much every day since April of last year since our live games got shut down. Switched from NLHE to Omaha HI/LO though since Hold'em is too boring for me online. Now all the tappers complaining about rigged box odds should play a game or two on these sites and see how rigged THEY are. All action hands pretty much 80% of the time to keep you in the hand. Can't wait for WSOPC to go back live again. Used to take a 3 hour drive to Cherokee NC 3 times a year for it πΒ

YUP. All action hands but I don't mind the sites being "rigged" since when you realize it then you just need to play conservatively and make sure you win bigger pots than the ones you lose. If I flop a set of aces with two suited connectors on the board then I pretty much know I'm gonna get rivered with a straight or flush π€¨Β

edit: i will add that box results notwithstanding, these potm boxes are fire if you're in the top bucket in terms of matchups.Β
