Here We Go With the Milestone Hands




One of the last vestigial brain cells that the geniuses at PokerStars have coughed up is the ever enjoyable Milestone hands. I might tend to say that it's a nice try, but it's a miserable failure in an attempt to make it look for real.

The upper right hand corner alternates between a fast moving countdown to the next milestone hand and hands remaining until the next milestone hand. Needless to say, just like dreaming pocket kings might be a winner, the math doesn't work.

Milestone hand #116,552,000,000? Not 116,550,000,000 which would be typical and more believable as in past milestone pushes for encouraging real money players to go all in. Not 116,550,138,271 which would address the reality that with so many tables cranking out so many hands that the milestone hand would actually be played on a table that didn't have an exact multiple of a billion.

Please cheat me some more when I do play. It really makes me want to break out the credit card and buy free money chips.
