3 Weeks of Raked Hands Races at William Hill - $36,300 to be Won [exclusive]
Finally a race promotion for everyone! In each of the three weeks, the race is split into four races for different limits - that way, players on both smaller and higher stakes have fair chances to get their share.
What is a Raked Hands Race?
In a Raked Hands Race, you compete with fellow PokerStrategists for the highest number of raked hands you played in cash games during the race period.
A raked hand is defined as a hand where you are in the pot (e.g. by posting a blind, calling or raising) and where rake is taken by the poker room.

The 3 Race Weeks
Each of the races run for one week. The Race Week starts on Monday at 00:00 GMT and runs until the following Sunday at 23:59 GMT.
If a session starts before 00:00 GMT and ends after 00:01, then the whole session counts for the day on which the session ends.
Example: If you start a session on Monday, July 10 at 19:00 GMT and continue playing until after midnight, the entire session will count for Tuesday and not for the Raked Hands Race.
After each Race Week, there is a one week break to recover from the grinding efforts.
Race Week 1: July 4 - 10
Race Week 2: July 18 - 24
Race Week 3: August 1 - 7
The 4 Races
In each of the Race Weeks, four Raked Hands Races take place, separated by the limit you play. That way, you compete with players on roughly the same limits – giving a fair chance to everyone to compete in the races.
