Yes, there is the chance that you can convince them to fold perhaps.

Lets assume that it's raised or 3-bet when it gets to you and you can read pretty clearly that there are at least a couple players you aren't going to fold out.

again, it can be kind of close in these situations because for $2 or something and trying to win $4000 maybe you really do have the odds to hit a 1:2000 parlay of your last raise being so intimidating combined with all your opponents being so stupid that nobody calls you.


I wonder if there have ever been ANY milestone hands that have been checked down. Seems someone is always betting.
I also wonder if there has ever been a milestone hand where the pot was won without a showdown. Even with all the stupid players in these things, I doubt that has ever happened.

Maybe on a 6-max table with only 4 dealt in or something perhaps.

about 1 1/2 hours, it is past prime-time so the number of players has gone down.

That's a 12k hand window.
If I'm 12 tabling that means I'm getting 12 tries in a 1-in-12000 shot.

Or roughly a 1-in-1000 shot of hitting the milestone each time I give it a full go and am 12-tabling through it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't our chances increase since play money and tournament hands count towards the milestone, but those hands can't happen there? Anyone can estimate what % of hands are at cash games? it could be estimated by taking a sampling of 100-1000 or so random, recent hand #s.

[/ QUOTE ]sorry for so many questions, but I'm 10 tabling now and its a lot easier for me to just ask than look it up myself....

so for every 1 1/2 hours for the rest of the entire week? If so, thats awesome.

1 1/2 hours is probably a good estimate, for what will be the next 98 times.

I don't know what kind of announcement they make to the table.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was at a different table and PS put up a announcement the winning hand was about to be dealt at table whatever and went over to watch. That table was on pause and in the chat box it said the hand will be dealt in a minute.

Then three tards folded preflop, one left. The rail kept encouraging everyone to push. Good times were had by all.
