Default Re: how many hands are dealt in the sunday million

This will be a very rough estimation. Let's say they start with 800 tables and every hour the number of tables drops by 50% as the number of players drops roughly by this amount. So the number of tables would go like 800-400-200-... every hour. Now it would take roughly 10 hours to get to 1 table.

Let's assume every hour every table plays 75 hands. That means they will play 800*75 hands in the 1st hour, 400*75 in the 2nd hour and so on. This sums up to roughly 1600*75 = 120k Hands.

Now we got two results within the same region by different methods which means the results are probably correct [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
