Remember guys,

Starting today at midday until midnight it's our Poker Points Accelerator.

Rack up Poker Points even quicker on Cash Poker for an awesome 12 hour stint.

12pm to 8pm = DOUBLE POINTS

8pm to 10pm = TRIPLE POINTS

10pm to midnight = QUADRUPLE POINTS

And... we're getting closer to our 900 Millionth Hand. Make sure you're on the tables to be in with a chance to win the prizes up for grabs.

Enjoy!

    I'm pretty sure the original promotional material did not restrict the boost in points to just cash games.

     I hope someone wins it tonight but I'm tired and I don't fancy sitting up to the early hours. If you get it, good luck to you.

     My plan is to start at 9am. I'm going to play 1-table of 25p/50p, I don't want to miss out. I don't really want to multi-table as I am not 100% sure if it's great if I win it, but I still want to be part of it. Hopefully I can just have a laugh with anyone who is around.

     Feel free to drop in and say hello, be gentle with me.

    It's now looking like the 900,000,000th hand will be played at around 3am.

    Based on the current rate, I calculate about 1.20am. But since many people will go to bed around midnight and the traffic will drop off, I guess it'll be nearer 2am.

    Hi Uncle,

    I have no idea if it was changed or emphasised at some stage, but when FCHD made that Post yesterday, I had a quick look, & it made it quite clear that the points accelerator thing was "Cash Games only", & it was in large, bold, print, not "vey, very small print".

    This is a C & P of the page as of now. (I have no way of knowing if it was different previously, sorry). I have not changed the font size, this is how it looks, or looked.  

    "....Poker Points Accelerator - Cash Poker

    Did you think that was it? It's our 900 Millionth hand, we're gonna spoil you a bit more! On Thursday 23rd, for 12 hours, we're going to have a Poker Point Accelerator....."

    In fact that is still there now (0750am, Friday), though if you want to see it, you'll need to hurry, as I imagine the page will be removed this morning, as the 900 millionth hand hit early this morning. The page is - or was - here.....

    Oooh, unlucky.

    Still very nice, though, as I think you win....

    1) £350 cash credited to your Sky Poker account.

    2) A ticket to the Viva Las Vegas £3,200 Semi Final worth £77.

    3) A ticket to this Sunday's Super Roller worth £110.

    Now turn that VLV ticket into a Vegas trip, win Sunday's Roller, & boost the old bankroll with the £350. ;)

    Another cunning plan goes awry. Well played to BeezerODB.

     I shall still sit on a 25p/50p game and help the old ticker on it's way to 10 million. I might not play until noon though, I'm suppose to have written the old Bluff column on Tuesday. Might play for an hour and then have a crack at getting that sent off before the weekend.

     If anyone fancies a game I'll be there in 10 mins.

    Good luck with that - I had to send them my May column before my February, March or April ones had been published. It's like looking into the future to write about what happened last month - 3 months before last month.

    Nightmare.

     I'm on Master Cash 8 if anyone fancies a spin.

     I'm lucky Tikay, nobody reads mine and I've done it for so many years now I can always send them one from four years ago and they won't spot it.

    It's possible that he/she didn't realise, which is very likely without the chat box open to see the hand number. If you don't frequent the forum you may not be aware either.
