Radio 4 will have The Archers Omnibus Edition later this morning.

Or.........

Sky Poker will probably be giving away a bunch of money for the 797 millionth hand.

Da di da di da di da

Completely unofficial of course as I may have missed one or two or indeed got the above wrong!

Added in 3 players I missed and took out 1 I had in error

Tikay10

8am =      796,953,713

8.30am =  796,955,352

So, 1,700 hands in half an hour.
 
45,000 hands to go. So in theory, it will take another 22.5 hours. But......the site is very quiet @ 0830 on a Sunday, & will get much busier, by a factor of plenty, later.
 

Tikay10

8am = 796,953,713

8.30am = 796,955,352

9am - 796,956,936

So, 1,600 hands in that half hour, much the same pace as earlier.

I don't suppose it will get much busier until after people have got back home from Church.

Irreplaceable, though I do think Jack Dee has made a good fist of replacing Humph.

Did you see this piece recently about him supposedly resigning over "Samantha"?

For those who do not listen, "Samantha" is a fictional character in the Show.

Have to say, I can't really manage "Thought for the Day" myself, either.

"Tweet of the Day" has been awesome though.

8am = 796,953,713

8.30am = 796,955,352

9am = 796,956,936

9.30am = 796,959,276

Interesting (?...) to see how much the traffic is increasing. 50% increase in speed that half hour.

TeddyBloat

I think it sends up the stuffy nature of radio4 more than demeans women.

There is a notorious optical illusion that can be seen as showing angels or naked female form. An apocryphal story is attached to it where the local priesthoid complained about it being hung in a gallery only to withdraw their complaint when the artist told them he painted the piece to test the purity of the viewers mind: the righteous would see only angels.

Amazed with whatthey get into day time R4.

And the lionel blair material is even filthier. If you have that sort of mind....

Tikay10

8am = 796,953,713

8.30am = 796,955,352

9am = 796,956,936

9.30am = 796,959,276

10am = 796,962,018

So the rate has increased dramatically again, its now around 5,500 hands per hour, & increasing.

However, The Archers Omninus Edition is just starting, so that will kill the poker traffic.
 
I'm off home (via Tescos), then gonna try & get some PLO8 DYM's going. Gotta be in it to win it.

I went to two of them........

8am = 796,953,713

8.30am = 796,955,352

9am = 796,956,936

9.30am = 796,959,276

10am = 796,962,018

11.30am = 796,975,771

So, that's up to around 10,000 hands per hour. 25,000 to go, but the site will get busier now. Early afternoon looks the time to be on site.

9am = 796,956,936

9.30am = 796,959,276

10am = 796,962,018

11.30am = 796,975,771

Noon - 796,981,206

Up to 11,000 HPH now, so looking like around 1.30pm?

What you need to know for the 796m - 799m Milestone Hands


1. The hand can be dealt on any cash game, sit & go or tournament and the player that wins every one millionth hand from the 796m up to 799m will pocket themselves £100 + £1 for every Sky Poker Rewards point earned in the 24 hours leading up to the milestone hand. Any player dealt into the hand will also receive £50.

2. If you play in the 24 hours leading up to the milestone hand between 796m – 799m and earn 50 Sky Poker Reward points within that time you will gain access to an exclusive £1,500 freeroll the following night at 7pm

@ FCHD

SQUAREKEY is down for Saturday. Also, kidwiz10 should be on the list with 11:08:16 (however, he needs the milestone to be acheived before 13:03 to win).

Looks like you made a good prediction (Y)

FCHD

Odd, I distinctly remember typing Kidwiz in, I thought that was the first name I typed!

Previous post edited, also added in Alex & Jordz and corrected Churchy & GCDF's user names

11.30am = 796,975,771

Noon = 796,981,206

12.30 = 796,989,013

Big increase in traffic, 16,000 HPH now.

Even at current rates, looking like around 1.15 or 1.20, but it'll speed up now I think, & won't be much after 1pm.

If you are on the Tables, good luck.  

Tikay10

Under 10,000 to go now.

12.30 = 796,989,013

13.00 = 796,995,680

Just over 4,000 to go. Looking good for 13.15-ish.

Tikay10

BOOM

Don't have the "official" time, but it was either 13.15 or 13.16.

cenachav

13.15 I should think.  I had hand 797000005 at that time, so near and yet so far

F_Ivanovic

I had 796999991, also so near and yet so far!

Another table I was 40 away - was so frustrating because the 2 people in the hand were taking quite a while to act - if one of them had just decided to fold a bit quicker it might have hit the mark - as it was, it was 30 or so over!

Nuggy962

I was 7 hands out....... Damn them slpw players

Congratulations to all winners
