If you spend any time around online poker sites you’ll be used to enormous numbers, but nothing compares to the numbers PokerStars is currently talking about: 65 billion!
Okay so 65 billion isn’t the number of dollars that PokerStars is giving away in their next huge tournament or series; however it is the number of hands that will have been played at the online poker site pretty soon, and there’s a very handsome cash payout to go with it.
The Road to 100 Billion is a promotion being run by PokerStars that rewards its players as they hit the milestones to that enormous number of hands. The upcoming milestone is that of 65 billion, and all members of the online poker community are in with a chance of winning a big cash payout. In order to be in the running all you have to do is play at the cash tables at PokerStars; the counter has already passed the 64,700,000,000 mark and so from now up to 65,000,000,000 all hands count. The player that plays the millionth hand in the count up will get a cash bonus payout worth up to thousands of dollars. What about the big one though? Well if you’re playing a cash table with hand 65 billion you will be awarded with a cash bonus prize of at least $65,000. In total the online poker site will be awarding nearly $1 million in cash prizes in the celebration of this milestone.
To help you along the way PokerStars even gives the members of its online poker community some tips for winning. The three big tips that the online poker site is giving are:
1. The more tables you play on at any one time the higher your chances are of being in procession of that winning hand. 2. The prize payout for the milestone hands will depend on the number of VPPs you earn at that particular session. Therefore, the longer you’re playing for, the higher your prize will be.3. As the prize relies on VPPs you should be playing on games that generate more VPPs.
