Do you guys have any estimates of how long it takes for 5,000,000 hands takes to be played so that I can try to guess the timing of when the milestone hands will be played?

For the 1 billion promo I used a simple Excel spreadsheet to track things.

I would enter the last 6 digits of a hand number and the time it occured. Then using that as a base hand I would enter the last 6 digits of subsequent hands periodically and the time they occured.

Then you can code excel to work out the differences between the hands, the time gap and use this data to project forward when the milestone might occur.

Bear in mind that the last hundred thousand hands are going to occur at a frightening speed due to increased play on the site!

Enjoy!

This bonus is useless unless you have uncleared stacked bonuses from previous promotions. I don't know what to do with the extra FPPs.

get a porche? or more realistically, enter the weekly $215 million guaranteed.

If you are a S&G player then use FPPs to enter satellites to $215 weekly tournament, unregister and get T$215. If you can get to Supernova that is 29% RB without double FPPs, or 58% with double FPPs. If you are an MTT player then you can use your FPPs to enter the $215 directly.

Nice suggestions. Thanks. I'll never get to supernova though.

For the 9-zillionth time: You are not allowed to unregister from the tourney and get T$ if you use your FPP's to buy a tourney-ticket (such as for the weekly $215).

It says it right there on the details about the item.

It is possible if you win it with a satellite FPP tournament
For exemple you can register for a 1500 sngo FPP, win it, use your ticket in the 215$, unregister, end of story !

It is really important to share this information since nobody talk about it !

MicroBob · #68 05-13-2006, 04:52 PM

Aha. My error.

Indeed you can use the FPP's for those FPP SNG's and what-not and then, if you win, can withdraw for the T$215.

I've seen a lot of people claim that you can spend the FPP's directly on the tourney buy-in (which I think is 12k FPP's), and then withdraw for the T$, which you cannot do.

Nirfur · #69 05-13-2006, 04:55 PM

Yes, I regret it also.

But at least there is ONE way to change your FPP in real money [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Yes, an S & G player can exchange his win to T$215 and then use T$215 to play in any other S & G, cash there, and thus convert to $$.

An MTT player can also convert his FPPs to $$ by playing in $215 weekly tourney and cashing. That's what MTT players do - they play in MTT tournaments.
