Stars 5 billionth hand promo

Pretty sweet, seems like a good time to sign up for Stars if you haven't already.

I'll be multi-tabling like there's no tomorrow!!!!!

But where's the cake

This site isn't offering cake like poker.com did

LOL! You can't have your cake and eat it too.

I read more on the details of it. You have to be at a ring table. The players in the hand dealt gets $2,000 each! The winner of the hand gets $5,000! Even if you lose, you win! I have a feeling I'll be back at the Pokerstars ring tables very soon.

That is just for the milestone hands which is every 5,000,000th hand. The 5,000,000,000th hand gets:

Every player who's dealt cards in our 5 billionth hand in a cash ring game wins $10,000 and entry to the WCOOP main event. The winner of the main pot wins $50,000 and entry into the WCOOP main event.

Guess I had better put some money back in that site.

Woot! Well, now that I've earned my points for the Poker.com freeroll, maybe I should mosey back on over to Stars. Thanks for the heads-up, Chris.

They were approaching hand # 4.93 billion, which was supposed to be the first milestone hand, last night. I stayed up trying to reach it, but i just got too tired, and eventually gave up and went to sleep. So anyway, this morning i was curious, so i logged onto stars, and requested the hand history for hand #4.93 billion, so so i could hate myself if it was on a micro limit table. turnes out it was at a 3/6 dollar table, but i thought i'd share this hand anyway, as i thought it was a little weird. if you'd just won 2k, and would win 5k if you won the hand, wouldn't you at least see a flop? perhaps they just didn't notice. so let this be a lesson to you, watch the hand counter.

Looks like the hands are going at a rate of ~280k an hour. I'd start looking for the next mileston around 15:15 EST, assuming a slight uptick in hands, increasing as you get closer to the milestone.

Ack, my head hurts, and i missed it again.
Playing 6 N/L tables is not good for you.

Managed to get into a couple Omaha tables. Man it was crazy, like 12 people waiting on every table then when the milestone was reached every person at one table left and half from the other. lol

Hey stay away the money is mine - lol. Playing the right tables, awaiting the Easter Bunny. Good Luck all.

4,966,000,000 is next.

he probably shit his pants after takin that down
craziness

Had 4 tables going at once, managed to make $16 in about 10 mins. People were folding like crazy to cycle the hands :-D

Why is VegasSK2005 keeping saying "OMG"?

a) He's having an epileptic fit and is bashing the keyboard uncontrollably.
b) He's been dealt a really good hand, and has got a lousy poker face.
c) He's been dealt in to one of the 33 "Milestone" hands that this thread is about and has therefore won $2,000.

I dont think it's a) - the key presses would be a lot more random than that.

Probably not b). Even if he cant control his emotions when he gets a good hand, surely he can avoid typing OMG for 20 seconds.

Which leads me to suggest, possibly c)?

ROFLMAO!!!!!

smart ass of the year award goes to....
LOL @ rob
