Wow stars turned off heads up tables for the duration of the promo. That has to piss some HU grinders off.

at 1:30 PM EST Sunday it's at 24.972

I've order the hand history from 29.0, 29.1, ... 29.5.

It looks like it's going to be late tonight or early tomorrow.

Sundays are usually busier...I would guess since it's nearing the peak traffic now....that it will be around 4 and half to 5 hours or so for every 10 million hands.

Edit - I'm a math idiot. Since we are about 2.75 times away...even with 4 hours per 10 million which would be really fast....we are at about 11 hours away...meaning it would be around at 12:30 AM EST....but I can't estimate the traffic today.

Maybe someone with more time/focus can take a closer look at it?

This seems like a de-coder math problem to me.

As I type this, at 3 PM, we are at 24.9756

8 pm: 24,987+

.11 billion away....I have no idea how long that is....5 hours or so away?

Windbreaker · #6 02-15-09, 08:07 PM

Looks like from 24.97 to 24.98 it took a little over 4 hours 15 minutes.

So from here to 25 billion....probably estimate 4 hours or less to be safe.

I would get ready at 11:30 EST in case.

It also might help if you filtered your cash games set up now.

Filter 6 player max, Min $0.01/$0.02, Max $0.01/$0.02, Fast tables, Hide Full tables.

Is the idea to sit at 24 tables and autofold as quickly as possible, but keep an eye on the game number, so if you do manage hit the lucky hand, you can shove instead of folding?

I've never played that many tables before and hate overlap, so hopefully they will pop up when the action is on me.
