Milestone hands are back at PS

Looks like I will be playing a few ring games during this milestone.

Nice.

OMG!, And we thought pokerstars got overloaded during their last gimmick promotion!

Food for thought, the 10 billionth hand was dealt to a micro table (.01/.02).

And two players in that hand actually folded instead of taking their chance of a $100k prize for a $2 investment. That stands as the two worst folds ever...

I lol'd at that also, some ppl just have no idea whats going on right in front of them.

The prize package for the 25 billion hand is simply insane.

I'll be grinding a lot of ring games over the next few weeks, and I'll probably take advantage of that deposit bonus too. And this just a month after I withdrew 75% of my BR.

Oh well, at least it gives me an excuse to push my multi-tabling past my current 8 table ceiling.

Yeah that video was classic. HMMMM $2 gamble to win $100k+ ... guess too rich an investment for their blood. lol

Have to reference this link: Huge Pokerstars RELOAD Bonus Today through the 18th

Found out its 20 base FPPs for every bonus reload $ ... so at 100nl I earn .33 base FPPs per hand, so looking at 15k hands to clear the $250 bonus.

Good time to dive back into cash games at Pokerstars!!

I'm there every night 6:00pm to 10:00 pm cst.... hope it hits then!

ah memories

That was fun! Everyone note Tenbob sitting out that hand.

Lol.

So, did you get your $9 back from Chris?

Nope, I was totally sick about that hand. First time I was ever at a table that gave out a milestone bonus and I go ahead and disconnect.

Heck no.

And all this time I thought you had just gone to the bathroom at the wrong time.

Ban him, imo.

hey she was enough of a donk to call me with 9 high, not my fault.

You were donk enough to go all-in with 10-2 os.

poker rewards bold, aggressive play. plus doyle brunson won 2 word poker serieses with t2!

so as of a few minutes ago, they are still 150 million hands from this milestone?

Numbers too big, please check my math.........

Looking at my 2 tourneys, it appears the last hand # is changing by more than 100K per orbit! While that may be an extreme, the hands are coming fast and furious

way too many donks at pokerstars and just players period but I guess for the milestone thingy I will have to go on over and get some playign on and seeing how I usually do play the micro limit ring games then hey hey eho knows I guess I got just as good a chance as anyone else ...good luck to all I hope a forum member here can take down the 25th billion hand and the cash prize good luck all see you on the felt

wow i didn't see this thread,But i was in one of the tables last night only had $40 on .50/1.00 so i went all in with A5 with 3 other all in 98,10 8,and 6 2,the board came 10 9 10 A 8 so the 10 8 won a 280pot plus the 1k bonus for winning the hand and the rest of us got $250 so not bad for a $40 investment.

no you just have to be dealt cards unless the rules have changed, which i doubt.

however if the prize for winning the hand is $300 and you're sitting at a full 1c/2c table with the max buyin, you're still losing probably ~900bbs in equity by folding as opposed to shoving even if you have random crap cards (and that's assuming the rest of the table has the sense to just go arrin - obviously the more people that are stupid enough to fold the more equity you're missing out on).

You would be surprised how many are folding - it is hilarious lol.

Lol. Too bad for them. What happened exactly...

Are these tournies? are the free rolls? guess I will have to go to Poker stars and see what this is all about. Thanks for the heads up.

I watched a milestone hand go on a heads-up table today. Yep, you guessed it. One of the two players left the table before the hand was dealt. Hand was cancelled, and the other player won the bonus without a challenge.

Hate to double-post, but what are the odds of some Cardschat math savant crunching the numbers and giving us a rough idea when the big 25 Billionth hand milestone is going to go?

My completely off-the-top-of-my-head guess is Tuesday morning, at 8:25 AM ET.

I just timed how long 100,000 hands took. 100K took 196 seconds so 1 million should take roughly 1960 seconds. There are around 67 millions hand left; so 67 x 1960 = 131,320 seconds converted into hours is 36.5. So the 25 billionth hand should be played in roughly (very roughly) in 36 hours 30 mins. So here in the UK the 25 billionth hand should be played at around 6am Monday. Obviously as more (or less) players are online the time taken to play 100k hands will change, therefore my prediction is only a guess. Joe.

This is a nice promotion. Yesterday I played, but had a limited bankroll and I refused to add money. I saw a few Milestone winners then I went to play on FT. I am sure they will be having something similar soon. X

no where close thus far
some players take forever, just fold already!
