Love Stars. They concluded their investigation within 48 hours, and reinstated my account. Big ups to them.

Stars might be more secure than some big banks if it weren't for the corrupt bailouts

Re: ****Official what happened to the rest of May HSNL **** thread ****

Basically I talked on the phone to some host who had no clue what she was doing. I'm not sure if she just didn't like me or what, but she wasn't very nice to me on the phone and then locked my account. Once Stars realized the only thing I did wrong was send one real money transfer for like 2 cents in the USA (didn't realize sending transfers was against the rules) they instantly unfroze my account. Just in time to punt some $ off in Sunday majors.

A word to the wise.. I believe that once you've built a comfortable bankroll/networth/nestegg/etc and have embraced poker as your main source of income, it's incredibly important to make life decisions based on +lifeEV and not +$EV. That's not to say that $ doesn't affect life, but its only one factor and you should genuinely ask yourself just how realistically important it is to you when making decisions like whether to go away for 3 months etc.. In my experience, people (not just poker players) that make every decision based purely on financial grounds are almost always unhealthy (mentally and physically) and subsequently, miserable. I think this minor distinction is integral to leading a "fulfilling" life if you've chosen the poker path.

very good post. I'm just discovering this and think I've found a pretty good balance between life/$ev
