1. LOL Just now I was 8 tabling $.02/$.04 limit on stars trying to hit the magic hand. Was very close to the magic hand # when I got dealt KK. Almost raised but figured it wasn't worth it. Very next hand, same table I got dealt AA and mucked it too. So next time you hear "is it ever right to fold AA preflop..." you can send them to this post, lol.

    So how close did you guys come to winning? Any winners here?

    My closest table was 4950000025 25 hands off. What can ya do? hehe Next time I spose.

    Good luck all, and good night.

  2. we were 12 hands off on one of the .1/.2 cent tables......... love how they were playing so seriously like it was the WSOP and all. what's more important- possibly folding a 25 cent winner or trying to get that 5k.... some people have NO CONCEPT...
  3. a .25/.50 cent table got it... and some bitch rivered a flush to win the 5K
  4. It was a straight, but yeah, same dif. I love how half the table folded preflop. Must have had nothing!!! (or were not paying attention)

  5. When pokerstars did a similar promotion like a year ago the biggest milestone hand awarded something like $25,000 and entry into every WCOOP event to the winner. I believe (but am not totally certain) that the play was paused so everyone could come rail the hand. I think it was like a PLO game or something and someone raised to $2 preflop and someone folded.

    How dumb do you have to be, to konw of the bonus of winning the hand and fold for $2 more preflop. The guy did win an entry into the WCOOP main event and was trying to sell it on Recpoker (good choice I think) lol

    Cheers,

  6. I was 9 hands off the 1 billionth hand in 2004, was 3 hands away from the first jackpot hand late last night

    all about 8 tabling the 2/4 cent NL 6 handed tables

    gets a lil crazy on 1 monitor
  7. Seat 4: Cholo83 ($0.50 in chips)
    Cholo83: folds

    50 cents to have a shot at an extra 3k -EV? Seriously, sometimes we get busted by some of these players.

  9. but fun! Actually, tonight I took the easy route and just 4 tabled. And instead of folding I actually played (until the last few hands.) MADE A KILLING. With so many people on so many tables people aren't paying attention. Busted someone when he pushed preflop with jacks haha.
