politelycdn 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I posted a while ago that FCP/Poker Room is getting close to it's 1,000,000,000th hand.... currently sitting around 987,000,000ish. I was wondering if there would be any promotions for those who play in that land-mark hand, but no one seemed to know. The forum admin didn't even make comment on it.At the suggestion of another reader I even pm'd DN himself to see if he had any thoughts on it, but received no reply. Considering how busy the man is that wasn't really a big surprise... had to try though!!!So here I am asking again, anyone know if anything's in the works? Maybe the forum admin could post some news, "yes, no, maybe, kiss my a$$..." something!!!I just think this is quite a monumental point for a relatively new site, and something they would get excited about.

bombsaway 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Such greedy people, always wanting something.I haven't seen a good flame from Stylin' in a long time. Here's to putting those wheels back on the wagon, sir. We already had one redpill, and looking at the way things are going, we may need to exercise caution with you. Link to post Share on other sites
politelycdn 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 Such greedy people, always wanting something.Hey, who doesn't like a good promotion once in awhile... but more than that is the magnitude of the roll over. I guess I'm just surprised there's nothing being said about it. Does no one else think this is a significant accomplishment??? Link to post Share on other sites

FCP Bob 1,321 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 since they reset their hand numbers a while back, you can't really tell what hand they are on.My guess is that there are 2 reasons that no promotion is planned for this on the Network.1. Since the hand numbers were reset awhile back the hand won't really be number 1,000,000,000 at the Network.2. Hand promotions like this cause a spike in activity that can also cause stability problems so to avoid a possible technical issue I don't think the Network will be doing anything.That being said if you're an FCP player and in hand number 1,000,000,000 let me know and if it's a real money ring game or tournament I'll give you some sort of a comp.

I guess I'm too new to have known the hand numbers had been reset... seems much less significant now.I appreciate the offer for a comp for those who may hit the big one... and don't get me wrong I appreciate free stuff as much as the next guy, but for me I was just surprised not much was being said about it. The odds of being in that hand I'm sure are huge... Anyway, thanks for the clarification. Link to post Share on other sites
