I Run Good At This Promo

I recall in 2009 I was a little disappointed about not being dealt into a single milestone hand, despite putting in huge volume as I was in the heart of my SNE grind. After being dealt into my first milestone hand 5 days ago (the HH is pretty awesome, it's included in a previous blog post), I was dealt into my second today. I run really good at this promotion obviously!

Here is the HH from milestone hand #39,867,000,000. I ended up receiving $696.80 bonus money for the hand, though had I faded the river and won, it would have been doubled to $1393.60! Oh well, I definitely can't complain. Note that the people folding are completely retarded, especially those with less than 100bbs behind. Even with my ~102.5bb effective stack, this is still a snap shove with 74o given the bonus money effectively already in the pot.

Total pot: $181.95 | Rake: $3

Results:
Button had 6, J (one pair, Queens).
BB had 2, A (one pair, Queens).
Hero had 7, 4 (two pair, Queens and sevens).
MP1 had 4, 8 (two pair, Queens and eights).
Outcome: Hero won $57.30, MP1 won $121.65

If you're really paying attention, you may have noticed my bonus amount was far more for participating in this hand than for even winning the previous one and receiving the double bonus multiplier. This is because in the first milestone hand I unfortunately had only been at the table for an orbit or so. This time I had been around for the full 40 hands necessary to receive the maximum possible. Hurray for free money.
