actually the chances of winning are slim as you have to finish 1st, it will be some rich person who does not need the money.
aka actyper,ryanghall,crazykoby,pokerkai,choron,sirwat ts

Why in the hell would Watts or Choron want the job?? They make a shit load MORE money NOT working for them over the course of a year.
You get $5000/month, that's 60K a year. Technically, that's a huge drop in pay for me personally. The ONLY advantage is the additional 40k in buyins throughout the year. But if I were forced to use that ONLY for tourney buyins, I would in worse position in a year's time than I am now. Unless I lucked out one of the tourneys and actually cashed a decent amount.

4.The value of the PokerStars Dream Job package is $100,000 USD. This is comprised of a $60,000 annual salary and $40,000 W Dollar (W$) credit which will be paid monthly into the winning players PokerStars account. W Dollars can be used to register into any qualifying special PokerStars event. The winning player will be required to attend and play in the PCA main event 2010. I'd rather take $40,000 T Dollar (T$)

I guess you could still keep your day job and just bank the $5k a month.

Don't think this looks like a good promotion......unless there ends up being an overlay. As I see it, it's basically a $109 buy-in tourney, with possibly a winner take all (or most if no overlay) payout.
Personally, I'd rather play a regular tourney, win it, and pocket the $100G.
This looks like a terrible promotion...........unless they get small numbers for the tourney, but I can't see that.

I just fooled around in a sat to this, $10. Extremely soft.
Prize pool says $125k so looks like there will be $ added. Definately will not be overlay though.
