Bleh. Note: I normally wouldn't play this hand this particular way, but when you're clicking like a madman across 8 windows things have a tendancy to slide. I'd have most likely dumped it on the turn when I didn't hit my set.

I missed once by 150 hands, twice now by about 500, and half a dozen between 800-2000. All I know is that I'm going to be 16tabling it if possible for 5 billion.

[bunny]

I haven't won any Milestone hands but I've playing many different limit tables.

Was playing in 6 but going a bit nutty, so settled on 4 tables now.

+$42 so far and counting...this is fun! lol

Nikita - Mind my asking why most people (including yourself) are sitting out? What's the advantage in that, if any?

edit: Scratch that last question, Nikita. You're sitting out till the next "milestone hand" is called aren't you? Smart, but I'd rather be making money while I sit and wait.

20 minutes till a possible 50k falls in your lap, get on if you aren't on yet! Keep in mind its hard to get on a table with like 10 min to go...

[omahilo]

the 5 bill hand just went down, have no idea who was involved but I know it wasnt me lol

[eejit101]

i watched it, everyone flat called, then the BB went in, everyone called, KT won it with a K T 8 7 3 flop


the only other show was 99

[Robbie Robb]

it was a .05-.10NL 6-max table. MaraJade won the 50K with KT, catching two pair.

[bunny]

What a time for my connection to give out, with 10 mins to go.

But I checked my 6 tables and none of them won. Still made myself $63 multi-tabling.

[Talking Poker]

I've been offline all day. Looks like I missed it. But these lucky folks sure didn't.....

{I'm going to break up this HH, so I can post ALL of the chat that took place. CRAZY.}
