Re: Pokerstars 72billion hand milestone Haha - I've created a spreadsheet to track when I think it will hit, and first estimate coming in at 6pm .... on 21st December :loon Either my spreadsheets wrong, or I need slightly longer for my sample size.....
Hands Hours Hands/hr Estimated 72bn 09/12/2011 21:27 71,888,036,962 09/12/2011 21:34 71,888,493,809 456,847 0.12 3,902,452 21/12/2011 18:23 -
Re: Pokerstars 72billion hand milestone
That's a shame - just a couple of hours later and it would have been really off peak!probably looking somewhere between 1 and 2 am! -
Re: Pokerstars 72billion hand milestone Milestone hand 71,887,000,000 was just dealt 113,000,000 to go - will look again in half an hour or so and see where we are.

Re: Pokerstars 72billion hand milestone I'm thinking if they are shutting down at midnight, this far ahead, then its got to be at least a few hours after that.

I've been playing a little HU tonight on Pokerstars, and at the top of the page, there is the messgage: "Heads Up hands unavailable prior to 72B Milestone Hand - New Heads Up Tables will stop being created at 7PM ET Friday [Midnight UK} - Any remaining heads up tables will be closed after milestone hand 71,990,000,000" Does that mean that Pokerstars expect the milestone hand to hit sometime after midnight tonight? Early hours of the morning? With no US players now, is the site likely to be quiet at that time? Does it make it worthwhile getting up to try and hit, or is it a worse shot than the lottery? (I haven't really been following it lol)

Re: Willy Hill Points Freeroll Xmas Hampers Starts 8th Dec I'm tempted to play these (MTT comeback? :loon) - was just looking at how much 90 points is and it seems that it is £2 (or $3) in Tournament Fees - so not a lot ... I think that dissuades me from playing as being that easy, I guess entry will be large :unsure

Fishfest!!!!!!!! Actually, despite my glee, as a poker player at this news (if it happens), as a "decent human being", I'm a little uncomfortable at the thought of real money poker on a platform like Facebook :unsure http://www.pokerstrategy.com/news/world-of-poker/Facebook-Poker:-Real-Money-Play-in-UK-_54265/

Re: Pokerstars UKIPT Season 3 - Just Announced
I think the majority of casual players try and sat in' date=' so may not alter numbers that much...:unsure[/quote'] Could that not be precisely the reason why numbers might fall? If you'll pay outright 500 (plus travel and accommodation), then you'll probably be prepared to pay outright 700 (plus travel and accommodation). However, if you sat in and the buy in is 50, then instead of being 1 in 10 qualifying, then it becomes 1 in 14 qualifying. A sat with 50 players, only sees 3 packages awarded instead of 5. Number of sat qualifiers is almost halved! -

Re: Ongame - 100 PS3 "Freeroll"
And just looked up - 50 player points at Ongame takes £10 in tournament rake to generate - so the freeroll is (currently) worth more than the rake played :ok (I'm not in though :()That's still pretty good value? What does a PS3 cost these days, about £250? So prize pool is about £25,000 - divided by 1670 means that the freeroll is (currently) worth about £15 per person. -

Re: new player to cash who is struggling Cash is a more skillful post flop game than tournaments, because your stacks are typically deeper and thus the emphasis shifts from pre flop play (in tournaments) to post flop play (in cash). So in deeper stacked scenarios, your hole cards are less important and implied odds are more significant - this means that hands like Pocket Aces are not as far ahead in cash as they are in tournaments (the odds of them winning if you get to showdown are the same, but the implied odds you are offering are larger, so your punishment when you are outdrawn is larger - assuming your opponent only puts his stack in when he is ahead of pocket aces but folds post flop when the aces are ahead of him). I disagree strongly with the view of your mate. Microstakes may be harder to beat, because the percentage rake you pay is larger, but it should not be harder to beat because your opponents play worse and make more, and larger, mistakes. If you cannot work out counter strategy to poor, non thinking, players, then you will probably end up being crushed by good, thinking, players. I like your thinking far better than your mates thinking! (Lots of the best players claim to have done something like deposited $50 once, and never having deposited again!) If you find that you are getting multiple callers when you raise pre flop 5x with AA, then maybe try larger pre flop raises. This reduces the implied odds you are offering (you still want to be called by worse hands, but you want to get as much of your stack in as you can early in the hand, when you know you are ahead - if you could get all in preflop with AA, then you want to every time, regardless of the number of players in the hand)
