How long to play 1333 contributed pots?

[zasterguava]

Hi,
Im going to do the PSO bonus for Party poker. It will require me to play 1333 hands at .25/.50 nl/pl. Anyone have any idea how long this would take 2 tabling? Im a STT player so don't know much about hands per hour.

Only cash game hands qualify for clearing said bonus I am sure, so aprox. 100000000000 hours of STT tourny playing. Pick up some $25NL 6-max.

My best guess would be 14 to 16 hours.

I know it says contributed to the pot at PSO's instructions but that's not true. You get partypoint even if you do not contribute the pot. You just need to be dealt cards.

(small sample!)At 50nl you get one standard partypoint per 10 dealt hands while 100 hands are dealt per hour per table.

in your case you need 200 standard partypoints which means (calculated from my small sample) 2000 dealt hands which means 10 hours of 2 tabling.

PSO bonus is in partypoints nowadays so you can play STT/MTT and even blackjack if you want

Thanks guys. So are you all sure it does not really need to be contributed and that STT's are ok?

You can also see in the pso's requirements that you need 200 partypoints, not any amount in raked hands in poker so yes you can play stt's.

I couldn't find black on white for you for the contributed part but it's not that hard to confirm it yourself. It's always been dealt hands at party and probably/hopefully will remains so.

Thanks LEssu. I actually looked at the PP faq and couldnt find the that. If you put the mouse over the PSO "200 points required" it says that it needs to be contibuted, but im guessing it just needs to be updated.
