PokerStars 25 Billionth hand strategy + Estimate

Like many others I plan to Mutlitable the 1c/2c tables for the 25 Billionth hand. I have only every played 4 tables at once (SnGs), so feel a relative novice to multitabling. I was just wondering how many tables you guys think are possible? (I only have a 17" screen). Also what is the best layout for multitabling considering I'm going to pretty much fold every hand?. I'm also wondering what is the most efficient "Advanced mutli table option" configuration?

I'm also going to have ago at estimating the rough time of the 25 billionth hand. Below are some milestones hands and the time they took place:

24,978,000,000 15:56
24,979,000,000 16:22
24,980,000,000 16:47
24,981,000,000 17:12
24,982,000,000 17:38
24,983,000,000 18:04
24,984,000,000 18:29

The average Time between milestone hands is 1530 seconds.
There are 16 Milestone hands left to go.
So.........
16 X 1530 = 24480 seconds = around 7 hours.
So the 25 billionth hand should take place at around:

6.50am GMT
12.50am CT
7.50am CET
1.50am ET
11.50pm MT
8.50am EET
10.50pm PT

Obviosuly this is only a rough (very rough) estimation as because the amount of players online changes so does the amount of hands played. So don't go setting your alarm clock 5mins before my estimation and blame me if you miss it. realistically I would give or take an hour or two either side of my prediction, but atleast it gives you a rough idea. Joe.

I like the effort you put in... thats a lot of timing so kudos to you. Hope you win that 25 billionth hand!!

I'd start with 6 tables and tile them using the poker stars tile function.

Then add a 7th, tile again, and see how it fits on your screen. If you can handle 7, then add an 8th. Keep going until you are past the capabilities of your monitor.
