PokerOK All-In Fortune: a Random Prize for Going All-In
All-In Fortune is a GGNetwork promotion that PokerOK players get along with everything else the network offers. It rewards the all-in itself rather than the result of the hand, which makes it a rare jackpot that can pay out even after a lost pot. Below we look at how it works on PokerOK, what decides the size of the prize and how to keep it in proportion.
A jackpot that ignores the outcome
Most poker promotions care about cards: a straight flush, a beaten full house, a finish on the bubble. All-In Fortune cares about one thing only, the moment you put your whole stack in the middle at an eligible table. At that moment the hand gets a chance to trigger a prize.
Whether you win the pot afterwards is irrelevant. A player who shoved and lost can collect the prize just as well as one who shoved and doubled up.
This makes the promotion easy to understand even for a beginner: no hand rankings to memorise and no special combinations to watch for, just the all-in itself.
How it reaches PokerOK
PokerOK is the Russian-language skin of GGNetwork and plays at the same tables as GGPoker. All-In Fortune is a network promotion, so PokerOK players take part on the general terms, with the usual caveat that details may differ slightly by region.
The full rules, the list of eligible tables and the current prize tables are in the «Акции» section of the PokerOK client. It is worth reading them in Russian before your first session, especially the part about which formats and stakes are included.
Because the tables are shared across the network, PokerOK players sit down at All-In Fortune tables together with players from GGPoker and other parts of GGNetwork.
Stakes and prize size
Prizes are tied to the blinds: the higher the level, the bigger the payout when the jackpot fires. A trigger at the lowest limits will not change your month, while the same event at higher stakes can be quite noticeable.
The link is logical, but it should not push you upward. Choose your limit by bankroll and skill, and let the jackpot scale on its own.
If you play several limits, note which of them are eligible: the promotion may cover some stakes and formats and not others, and the list in the client has the final word.
The $20,000 ceiling
The top layer of the promotion is Mega Fortune with a maximum of $20,000. That is the prize the pot of gold in the promotional art stands for, and it is exceptional rather than typical.
The general network description does not publish trigger odds, so we will not speculate about how often it fires. The honest summary is this: rare, possible and very pleasant if it happens to you.
Should it happen, the prize is still subject to the usual account checks before a withdrawal, so having your verification done in advance saves time and nerves.
How it compares with other network jackpots
PokerOK players have three jackpots to keep in mind. The Bad Beat Jackpot pays when a hand of aces full of tens or better loses at showdown in Hold’em. The All-in or Fold jackpot fires on a straight flush in Hold’em or a royal flush in Omaha in the AoF format. All-In Fortune is the only one of the three that depends on an action rather than a combination.
That makes it the most everyday jackpot of the three: all-ins are part of almost every session, whereas the combinations required by the other two are rare. In every case, though, the jackpot is a bonus on top of the game, not the game itself.
Knowing all three also helps you read the lobby: a jackpot counter on an AoF table, a bad beat promotion at cash games and All-In Fortune at eligible tables are separate programs with separate rules.
A sober approach
Do not let the jackpot change your ranges. Shoving with hands you would fold in a normal game just to buy a lottery ticket is a reliable way to lose more than you could ever win back from the promotion.
Play your usual game, verify your account before you need a withdrawal and set a budget for every session. If you have questions about a prize that was or was not credited, PokerOK support handles them in Russian; it helps to note the date and time of the hand before you write.
And if poker starts to feel like a chase rather than a game, take a break. No jackpot is worth playing beyond your means.
