PS: 10 Billionth Hand Promo Details

[bouglas]

Surely these are going to be Stars player number records, or have they already broken their own records?

I'm not going to be doing this but I've done it in the past.

Usually trying to get it organized for just one milestone hand is tricky. And if you are going to get a group together to do it for multiple milestone hands leading up to the big one then you are probably going to want to sit higher than .01/.02.

Even .5/1 limit gets you out of micro and into 'low' which is a better prize.

Or 1/2 NL gets you into medium.

Somebody suggested to me that you could have one person raise and everyone fold so it doesn't look too suspicious.
This is not necessary. Stars doesn't seem to care.
Back when they first started doing these thins you could auto-fold all day long and they never stopped you.
They had the heads-up tables eligible for the prize then and it was easy to find one other player who agreed to fold with you, then sit-out for an hour or so and wait for the next one, rinse, repeat, etc.

No cover necessary. Just click and fold as fast as you can on all your tables if you're going to do this.


I do not think it's a good idea at all to agree to split the prize with several other 2+2'ers whom you've never met before.
Surely there are 1 or 2 who will be in your group who would definitely think twice about splitting it with you AFTER they got paid the whole sum.

I think most 2+2'ers agreed with that idea when we did this before.

If you get the auto-fold thing going just do it for the EV of having a chance at the big prize.
Everyone can check it down instead of doing the push-fest if you like...but if someone goes all-in then you're stuck joining him of course.

Even if you had a group of people who you knew really well, I wouldn't be surprised at all if there were complications arising from a pre-agreed split.
Don't even be tempted to try to pull a Jaime Gold on this one.

[josie_wales]

I base my calculation on the number of hands over the last month or so (approx.) and it worked out to average about 9k hands per minute over the last month.

Even if we bump that up to an ave. of 10k/minute...with about 18mil and change to go, that means we are looking at about 30 hours from now.

Or Sunday at 10:30 (ish)

Others thoughts?

[WutRUTryin2Hit]

I think definitely before that. I think you are underestimating how fast it's going to go when it gets close and everyone with a stars account is 12 tabling simultaneously. Saturday night latest, but I could see it being before that. I mean, if it's like a few million off on saturday, people are going to stay online in case they miss it, which will move it up, etc. Sooner than later, sooner than later.

If anyone wants to take a shot tonight auto-fold 12-tabling low stakes ($40 buyin, prize $500 winner $200 everyone else) PM me.

Setting up a team for the 10 billionth hand. PM if you're interested.

[Assani Fisher]

Everyone,

We have a team of 5(we had 6 but someone backed out) so we need one more. If you're interested I'll fill you in on more details but there are two qualifications:

1. You have to be somewhat fast on 12 tables
2. You have to be reliable

Let me know if you're interested.
