How many real money hands have you played at PokerStars?

Lipki3 · May 4, 2022

I don't know why these badges haven't been updated on my account for about two months. I only have 55 hands available, but I've played far more than the 50,000 hands advertised.

When it became possible to put the icons of the hands played, I had access to , that is, more than a million played hands. And just a couple of days later, the badge became available - over 2.5 million played hands!
Which icon is available to you?

Where is this feature located on Pokerstars?

I have more tha 50k I believe but as I found in several comments, no matter how many hands you have played that does not indicate the skill you have to play, for example, you may have played 10k bad hands or only 1k good hands, so the player with the fewest hands would be the most habil in this case. The same as another comment, it seems immature to teach in pokerstars how many hands you have played, it just shows that you want to show off and you don't really show off anything. Regards.

How could an increased number of hands played not have some benefit?
fwiw, 50k hands is almost nothing. Many regulars on Z00M will play that many in 1 week.

You could play 10k bad hands or 1k good hands... < the player with 1k hands has played 1/10th as many but neither has played any amount that would have any significant difference to one's ability.

Let's say that includes tournaments as well, I can say I've probably played 2 millions hands maybe I'm way out to lunch but I've played online since 2007. Had a couple slower years and about 5 of them played very heavy. I now play upwards of 20 tournaments a week. So I'm guessing nearly 2 million could be wrong just a guess but it's alot

opinion

A couple of years ago I played a lot of hands on stars, but then when I sat down at the cash tables, I began to lose often and the hands seemed extremely suspicious to me.

ADRI7HO · May 9, 2022

I can see what prestige icon is available to me, but I don’t know how many hands I have in total, so i don't know how many hands the next prestige icon is available for, which is confusing.

mina271 · May 9, 2022

It would be interesting to know how hands are counted. So whether tournaments are counted or only cash games and whether only hands for which you paid are counted or also hands where you have already folded preflop. So I only have 1010 at the moment, but I think it should be a lot more, but I suspect that they just started at 0 again from a certain time. I don't show it at the table either.

Because English is not my mother tongue, I often confuse the terms. I want to express the following, and I think I forgot to mention it sorry for that. Sometimes I think that the online game is rigged, thats my opinion ok, do not take it personal, maybe is not, but, if the game is rigged it means that no matter how many hands of experience you have online, it does not compare to the hands of experience you may have in real life playing in an honest way. Besides, I also think that many of the hands that someone can play, as I do myself sometimes, we do it to "see what comes out" and these types of hands do not make you a better player or gain experience with them. Regarding the number of hands I have played, I wrote about hands with real money, I'm not much to play like that, and to calculate the hands I've played in freerolls the last 10 years, I know it would be much more

Regards.

My badge is broken, I have a lot more than 5k hands played and doesn't have even the deuces, but I probably won't use it.

RustyRed83 · May 10, 2022

It's not something i care about to be honest, i have a badge for 100k hands, i probably played 10x that since i signed up in 2006. In fact this past month alone, i have put in the hours, and playing on average at least 2/3k hands a day. Still no update, so i don't really care for badges.

StepUp · May 10, 2022

Still a newbie there didn't invest any money yet but I think I will start a small bankroll there in the next weeks. Gl everyone

whitetailbuck10 · May 10, 2022

Like so many others mine had not updated in many months. I’m a 44 right now but I know I am way higher than that. I also do not show my badge. I possibly would occasionally if I ever earned a tourney win. But I wouldn’t show my hands played. It’s just more info for others and there are times where I want to look like a brand new poker player.

hilary antonik filho · May 10, 2022

I have no idea, I've been playing on PokerStars since 2009, I never stopped to calculate or score, I don't even care, maybe I can be invoked, upset, I don't know

Snake2007 · May 10, 2022

Ohoo, well since I've been playing poker since 2010 I have no idea how many hands I've played for real money but there are so many.

If you play cash games continuously you will be raked to death. With tournaments you have at least a chance to cash.

The badges show how many real money hands you have played. It includes tournaments and cash. Pocket twos means you have played 5000. I have pocket eights which is over 250,000 hands.it goes up to aces which is 10 million real money hands!

Axas90 · Jun 12, 2022

Hi guys my patch is not update since its comes out. I played over 12k SnGs and i have only 5/5
I think its a buggy System.

budweiser74777 · Jun 16, 2022

I played very little - I played a couple of days and switched completely to MTT

YuriSLopes · Jun 16, 2022

Since I started tracking PS on PT4 I have 18.581 hands played. Haven't checked on 888 cause it's not a significant number.

lacroir · Mar 27, 2023

Strangely I have

and

but no

or

.. 🤣
Btw, can we check in the App/website somewhere how many hands we actually played?

Victormalin · Mar 27, 2023

For now I'm on 77

IRINA70 · Mar 27, 2023

I have

badge already long time but I stopped play chash games since turned my attention to MTT and Spins. I think there is only cash games hands counting. And yes, it's shows the experience of player but not always his skills.

you need to turn on prestige in the settings. then there's a little PS icon on the left corner of your avatar where you can see which badges you got.
