When will the 1 billionth hand be played on Pokerroom.com?
The site is shut down for play money games and multi table tourneys.
I'm very tempted to deposit $10.00 and see if my luck is good enough for that free Vegas trip for the lucky people playing at the billionth hand table.

Last week I finished 11th in a freeroll tourney winning $15.00
BUT because I had never deposited real money with pokerroom.com they will not pay out.
I understand their reasoning, just a little dissapointed

Hey,

Bunch of stuff I thought you guys would like:

1. Software:
Mac Poker Pro (latest v. 1.11): by openendsoftware - you need this. It is $39 and is the mac version of PokerTracker, which you've probably heard about. It has a 1000 hand demo - then you have to buy it.

Poker Odds Calculator: a program that calculates the relative strengths of poker hands for a variety of popular poker games.

iPoker: play every imaginable game against computer opponents.

Poker Academy Pro: an interesting little app. In the demo version you can only play 100 hands before they repeat, but It provides analysis of your play and reccomendations for improvement. Very slick. Hellmuth chose this as the materials for his Camp Hellmuth.

PokerCharts web-based play tracking system.

2. Bonus Whoring: There is a guide at PokerCheckRaise. This guide pertains mostly to PC users, unless you have virtual PC. However, the concept is valid for us as well. Consider all of the sites now available to us and you can work out your own bonus scheme. For instance Hollywood right now has a 500% bonus up to $1000 (so deposit 200 and get 1000 bucks - not bad at all).

3. Online Info/Resources
ESPN WSOP Broadcast Schedule

Poker-Mac: Mac site, dedicated to basically all of you. It is a compendium of all poker resources available to those on a mac using OS X. Software, online sites, where to learn, what to read, etc... Supported by affiliate click-throughs, but lots of good information.

Poker Pulse: Daily Stats for usage at all online poker sites.

I recently bought DD Poker (reviews at VT, not MU). It's quite fun, though probably more worth $19 instead of $29......... Learned of DD Poker from the "What's Hot" section of the latest Mac World.
