Milestone Hand Winners
Couple of things.
Firstly, the individual Milestone Hand Winners are being updated as they happen, including yesterday's winner, which was Dr_F.
All the Milestone Hand Winners, together with details of the Actual Hand, who else was in it, how it played out, are on those pages, HERE

Yesterday's winner got a bonus of £1,171, as he had accumulated 1,171 Reward Points in the 24 hours.
Now here's the thing, & why I started the thread.
In yesterday's case (& perhaps others, I've not looked) the winner took the pot UNCONTESTED - the other players folded to his pre flop raise.
You can see how it played out HERE
So by folding Pre for 40p they did themselves out of the chance of a really decent prize, which included a £1,100 UKPC Seat, a £200 Bonus, & the £1 a point thing. I don't know the math, so maybe folding for 40p is correct, but with those prizes on the line, it's not a bad value call for 8 bob.
I'm deffo not giving them a rubdown, but for future Milestone Hands, it pays to pay attention.
I can only assume they never realised.
Not many people use the Forum, of course, as has been mentioned. Maybe they should, as we try to make people aware here.

It's now been corrected.
"Plus, for those players that earned more than 25 Poker Points in the 24 hours preceeding the 993M hand, will also get entry into the £2,000 Freeroll taking place on Wednesday 20th January at 20:00"
I don't think stopping action on all the Tables would be very well received.
I was playing 6 Tables sat the time, & had them on "mini-view", & I generally have "Full Summary" turned off, as I cba with all that stuff scrolling through, I either win or lose the hand, end of story.
But as the hand approached, I opened up "Full Summary" on just one of the 6 Tables, so I could see where we were.
How close were you?
I seem to be having a bad morning here, lol......
Ha, yes, I agree.
I also agree that for 40p, I'd take a flop, & try to win the hand. We'd be getting a cracking price.
Some choose to make the effort to keep up with where they are, & if they do, they get a better shot at the prizes.
Was the same on previous Xth hand promos, unless you are playing high stakes cash it seemed a no-brainer to be happy to get your money in the middle asap and hope to bink the hand, yet most players dealt in just snap folded lol.
Great promo / prizes though, well played Sky.
I'm sure a more helpful soul will be right along to assist.

Agree, accumulating as many poker points in the 24 hours prior is key to "value" in these.
Do you not receive Texts & e-Mails from Sky Poker? They push them relentlessly via those channels. It's on the Website, too, on scrolling banners, & notice is always given when approaching a Milestone Hand.
If all else fails, I generally make plenty of noise on the Community when the Milestone draws near, so maybe best to keep an eye on the Forum.
I'm not being critical, I'm, just curious how you managed to evade the incoming barrage of spam.
Anyway, if anyone likes to keep an eye on these things, the current hand # is 993,550,006, so no fun & games today, but it will hit tomorrow (Friday).
What I can do is ask why you may not be receiving them, & work from there. They won't tell me the details, but that might give us some clues.
