"Down to the Green" achievement

The description of the achievement says "Win consecutive all-ins", but: What is considered as "consecutive"? Do you need to win consecutive hands with all-ins, or it's enough if you win consecutive all-ins, even if there are a few not-all-in-hands between those all-ins?
It counts only when you go all-in, or it counts also when you call another's all-in (and you don't go all-in when doing it)?
How many consecutives all-ins are needed? Must they be on the same tournament?

    I think I got it by going all in two hands in a row (same tournament) and winning both of them. Pretty sure I raised all in both of the times and did not just call (being put all in).

    Seriously, what are the chances of unlocking this one? Chances are pretty low right?

    But, do other players have to call your all in to count?

    When it is down to just "heads up" (only you and 1 CPU player left), I would imagine this would be pretty easy. If you have the much smaller stack, it would be pretty easy to double-up twice in a row.

    Be aware that some people, myself included, are encountering bugs with this achievement. See this thread.

    I unlocked as SultS said. I went all-in form the very beginning in two consecutive hands. The other four players fold in each hand (I didn't need to show my cards). I got the achievement.

    Yeah it's unlocking for most people. Unfortunately, not for all.

    Well, I'm almost done with the achievements! I'm only missing the "Win a hand with a straight flush" one, and it's really hard!! Well, I'll keep playing for that achievement and for the tables and decks, I still have a lot to unlock.

    I'm pulling my hair out over this one, I have won numerous consecutive all-ins and I'm SOL regarding "Down to the Green" :( Hoping for a patch that fixes this...

    I wonder if it is the side-pots that are messing this up? I tend to go all in when I'm down, so there's usually a lot of side-pot action. I'll have to give it a try next time I play.

    Bizarre!!! OK this is what just happened to me...
    I had won 3 consecutive all-ins in my last game but then went on to get knocked out by another reckless all-in attempt with crap cards (that was a few minutes later you understand), I clicked on "deal a new game" but then I immediately ALT+Tabbed out of the game to make the post above and browse these forums (I ALT+Tabbed just as the first player chucked the first bundle of $10,000 on the table). So after I finished browsing and posting, I went back into the game for some more attempts at this achievement. Where is this leading, you ask? Well the instant I went back into the game, a popup appeared "Steam achievement unlocked: Down to the Green" !!! I mean wtf?! I guess I can't complain now that I have it, but this was one seriously delayed achievement which seems to have been bestowed upon me almost at random :confused::confused:

    Oh well, hopefully this may be of some help to others having issues with this achievement...
    PS. The first 2 of my all-ins were immediate all-ins before the flop and was my first action in the round, where all the other players folded after that (so I gained very little money from those). My 3rd all-in was called by Max and it went down to the wire, though I got lucky on the turn and it knocked him out. This was all at "Normal" difficulty.

    I did an all in, max called I won. The next hand I do an all in, the rest folds. And no achievement. Next hand I do another all in, Heavy calls I win, I get the achievement. Still don't know exactly how you get it, but hey, I got it. Only 4 of a kind and straight flush left. Has anyone got those?

    Apparently the achievement might be for winning consecutive all-ins when nobody has busted yet. Someone at the Steam forums couldn't unlock it, but it finally unlocked when everybody was still at the table.

    EDIT: Or maybe not. Somebody said he got it heads-up against Tycho...

    Well, I tried starting a new game and for the first two hand I went all in before the flop. Both times everyone one folded and I won the hands, but still didn't get the achievement. So that blows all my theories out of the water.

    Oh well, not really concerned about it, especially since I still have to get the 4 of a kind and straight flush achievements. They might take a while. :)

    This is the only achievement I don't have yet I've won as many as 4 showdowns in a row. I've tried erasing all the data and starting over but no dice. This achievement never pops for me.

    It's really frustrating.

    This (well, almost all of the acheivements) really just depends on insane luck.
