The winner of the hand receives 50% of the jackpot, and the rest of the table will share the remaining 50%.

Wow.. and you know exactly what hand # you are playing

Reminds me of the adjusting your play to size of the ante in the TOP.

Basically, proper poker theory would dictate that you call any number of bets or even all in with any hand in order to try and win the ginormous bouns money in the pot.

approximately ~4000 hands pass each hand, if you're ten tabling then you have a 1/400 chance of being at the right table. but damn what a lottery windfall that would be.

I'd love to be UTG in a no-limit game on the big hand.

[Nigel]

Given the current rate of hands/minute what time should we all start playing?

I'm too lazy to do the math. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm guessing Sunday night.

[DoomSlice]

I feel lucky!

[FlopMe]

That's my guess as well. Around 40-42 hours from now.

11,000,000 to go. @ 3000 a minute it's 61 hours. I would guess my 3000/minute is on the low side
