Yeah I was looking at that, seems pretty cool. As I read it, for cash games, the promotion starts now right? Just start playing right? You don't have to opt in or anything do you? Wish they had a counter lol, but would probably be unfair.

thx for posting, unfortunately I wont be able to participate because I ain't got any money stars and not much time to play in it. Hope to play in a freeroll (if any available), to all who will be participating wish you all the best of luck and win big or go broke;) . :)

Most probably know this but in case you don't. If you happen to be "lucky" enough to be sitting at a table where a milestone hand is about to happen, you will know this before the hand starts, just remember SHOVE any 2 cards you gonna get more than you have at the table any way and the winner of the hand gets double. I have watched these in the past and you'll get the first 4 people to shove and 2-3 folds and then find out the folds would have won the pot, they don't know whats going on.

Here's an interesting question.

Out of 40 billion hands, how many were royal flushes?

Does the 40 billion include weird games like triple draw?

Does the 40 billion include real money and play money or just real money?

How are you going to know - do you look at the hand# (which most people including myself usually ignore) and see that it is 10,000,000 or whatever?

It includes all hands dealt at PS. If my memory serves me right, one of their other celebrations paid out on an Omaha table, me thinks.

You will know because the table will pause and a host will come in and tell you your about to play the next milestone hand. Dont be like the table that just had everyone fold to a small raise LOL it was at a .10/.25 table and winner of hand got $399 no one knew what was going on.

Why is it I can imagine Stars throwing a freeroll with Deep Stacks, long blinds and 4 million players in it?

for one hand to be 40 billion must be very lucky in this because that is one is very difficult, but provided satisfactory,

You have the honor of being the hand that title 40 billnones not everyday odtiene

so good luck to all and hopefully something in this promotion charge as well not win the hand 40 billnones but just before she

good luck to all in the table
