Fonzie14 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Re: Ipoker billionth hand coming soon - ETA 27th May - 6.05pm Paddy are showing pop-ups stating that today is the day!!! Not sure if all the iPoker network are doing this, but it could easily cause a 'sudden' increase in the hand rate, so keep a close watch people!! :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avongirl Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Re: Ipoker billionth hand coming soon - ETA 27th May - 6.05pm I'm working through my ipoker accounts at the moment (making some withdrawals) and checking the hands periodically. The rate isn't changing at all at the moment. I'll post another update shortly. Am also checking their promotions to see if any differences between the sites but all look the same so far.

GB80 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Re: Ipoker billionth hand coming soon - ETA 27th May - 4.28pm Am I the only one who fails to see the attraction in these? There's probably approx 1000/1 chance of you being on the table (assuming your 2/3 tabling), and then a 10/1 chance of hitting the big one. Unless you'd have been playing on the site anyway, it doesn't seem worth the hassle to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
