New Upgrade - High Hand Progressive Pools -

[NateVest]

Attachment 1666

What is this?
If you recall, we recently changed the promotion deduction from 4% to 5%, a small but large change because it allows us to add more progressive prize pools.

The High Hand progressive prize pools is just that, whenever you get a high hand in ANY of the PokerOwned tournaments (Yes even PokerStars) you are eligible to win the progressive prize pool.

What do you mean eligible? What would make me ineligible?
1) If you are in default at the start of the tournament you will be disqualified.
2) If you didn't opt into the tournament you will be disqualified.

How do I claim my prize?
On the main page, each of the prize pools has a hyperlink. Essentially you click that, type in the tournament ID #, and then upload your "Proof" which should be a screenshot of the hand or at least the chat history if you no longer have the hand. If you don't know how to take a screenshot, I suggest you learn!!!

The Mods or Myself will then verify that you actually did win and release the prize pool (in points).

YOU MUST SHOW PROOF THAT YOU HAD THE CORRECT HAND. OTHERS MUST SEE IT

What if I didn't take a screenshot and I can't find the chat logs? Can I still claim this?
Possibly. The bottom line is, we need PROOF.

Your hand either needs to go to showdown OR you must show your hand to others. If you had the winning hand but no one else saw it, YOU WILL NOT WIN THE PRIZE PERIOD. I am not about to deal with photoshop edited pictures.

If other people saw your hand, if a Mod can verify and so on, then yes you can still win the prize without a screen shot.

What other rules are there?
- PLO Tournaments do not count
- You MUST use both hole cards.. Period..
- For the Bad Beat, if you have 4 of a kind or better and get beat, you must use at least 1 hole card
- Rabbit hands are NOT acceptable


How much do I win?
You will win 60% of the prize pool. I expect this to be won often with as many tournaments as we run!!

Excellent promotion, Poker Owned is improving weekly and I am sure you are seeing the extra traffic, Kudos to you Zab!

Added this rule:

- Rabbit hands are NOT acceptable

I definitely agree with this stipulation.

wheres my money?

Nice Hand! Definite bummer you missed it, two days early. Yikes. Looks like you were paid out fairly well ($3500 pot) Hope you hit one again soon when it is in effect and completely rolled out.

i have no idea how to do a screen shot?

Hold Control and Print Screen and then open a paint document and click paste, you can save it in different formats and then just insert it like you would any other image on Poker Owned forums.

Hold down the "Alt" key and hit the "PrtSc/SysRq" key. Then open up the 'Paint' application and hold down the "Ctrl" key and hit the "V" key. Voila! Screenshot.

Okay, someone tell me how to make a screen shot please.
