I'm guessing Sunday night.

Is this for when the 3B-th hand is expected to hit or the first of the jackpot hands (I believe starting with #955M)? I don't feel like doing the math now.

[Losing all]

The first one.

My estimate- A SH table plays around 110 hands an hour - and it looks like they are currently playing 2500 hands/hand, so 275000 hands per hour- but the pace should pick up as its friday and there will be another 20,000 players online tonight probably. so guestimate at 300,000 hands per hour for 10 mill hands (currently at 2.945 billion) - and we should see it (the first one) between 9pm and 1am tomorrow.

SNG play would be covered under this

Players who are sitting on tables with one of the lucky 10 hands, playing either $2/$4 limit tables or lower, or $50NL/$50PL or lower and those playing tournaments will share:

right?

on paradise, a while back, they had a similar milestone of like 1 billionth hand. Can we say that number again, 3 Billion. Thats a lot of internet packets.

Anyways, got like table 297,000,000 (forgot the actual #) and everyone at the table got $100. Winner of the hand got like 1k. It was just a 1/2 limit table at the time.

With very large stacks (2.5k plus) it might not be worth going all in for the first couple bonus hands.

This will be fun for limit players. I can cap every round with 72o and it'll be the right play.

Also, I predict the first one will come saturday morning/afternoon not sunday night.

Looks like with 7000 tables (55,000 players) the hands are being dealt about 100 every second.

This puts the first bonus at around 10pm est Saturday night.

After that, each lucky hand will be dealt around 13-14 hours after the previous one.

This puts the 3 billionth hand at around thursday night.

Of course, the number of tables going severly affects this rate, I'm not sure if 7000 tables with 55,000 players is a good average for a week, I think that is probably pretty close but might be lower than that, however, there will be more peak times around the hands being dealt.

Anyway, I'm probably completely off, but I can safely say that it looks like the first lucky hand will be tommorrow evening and there will be 1 or 2 dealt every day after that.

I think around 40k players may be closer to daily avg. The action on Party slows down significantly when americans get their beauty sleep, go to work and so on.
