yeah, that's pretty weak.

It's better than what Party offered for it's Billionth hand dealt, which was NOTHING.

[RiverTheNuts]

I just hopped on, their hand progress moves pretty slow, you could prolly jump on just before any of those numbers and multitable, and have a halfway decent shot to be involved with one of those hands... when you do, just raise the crap out of it if you play puss limits like me, cause your fold equity is like 500/1

[Sundevils21]

I don't think it matters if you fold preflop or not. You just can't be at the table and "sitting out".

No reload bonus for this momentous occasion?!?

Today, I was credited with $500 for winning one of the designated 2,000 hands before the 50 million one.

I'm pretty happy, it was hand 2,002 so the ones before must of been play money tables. I was hoping, but after several days passed I gave up on the hope.

What good people they are at Absolute Poker!!

I was at the table where 50,000,001 was dealt and didn't get anything yet. 50,000,000 was dealt at a real money table with only 3 players. And I got my 750. Pretty cool considering that I am not a millioniare, YET. And congrats on your 500.

Very cool, congrats to you! When I read your first post about not getting it, I had a feeling you would eventually. I didn't know I won until I pieced it together when I noticed my cashiers balance was way to high compared to yesterday. Thought maybe they reversed a withdrawal I made the day before. But nope, it was just there.

I didn't get an email or anything, did you?

[DougShrapnel]

No no e-mail. Which was surprising. If not for your post I would have not looked at my AP account. But I looked and there it was $750. My hole cards were 4 and 5 and I split with a pair of 5's lol. Can't imagine why anyone folded at a .02-.04 table but 3 people did and only the blinds saw the flop. Good Times. They must not have read the rules that 50,000,001 could be just as good as 50,000,000.

I had AA, and I looked at the hand number and noticed it was two off and said I'm going for it. I just bet and raised whenever I could. I was called down but they held.

Funny though they didn't email us or at least put the transaction in the transaction history section as a promotion credit. It took me five minutes to sort the haze out.
