Other than that everything was great and I can't wait until Friday
Whats the highest Spin & go jackpot you got?

I hit a 60 myself and won, wonder if someone will hit the 10K this week.

These need to be raised to at least 50 buyin.

Also I realize NJ is a smaller market but row players get a 10000 multiplier for top prize, NJ gets 1000, they could make the odds tougher but if you could advertise 100,000 spin and goes or even 500,000 spin n goes, game over, Borgata and WSOP finished.

Was anyone given bonus options when depositing?
03-17-2016 , 01:07 AM
The sundays offerings are okay. The daily guarantees are a joke. I don't understand why these jersey sites don't get it. They could run tourneys with those buy ins and guarantees every hour, (almost) 24 hours a day turbo or normal speed and they would hit those pathetic guarantees. I just don't get why they don't want to get a good MTT scene going on one of these sites.

95%+ were not given the option. Send support an email before or after you deposit and they will manually credit the bonus.

Has anyone who emailed support@pokerstarsnj.com received a response? I figured I would at least receive an auto-reply that they received it, but nothing.

I agree with you for the most part and would like to see more options but I am hopeful that it will get better going forward. We will see. Im just dying for us to make some compacts as other states come online.

These tournaments are awesome. I hope this stuff sticks. These are almost hard to believe. If there's gonna be a 50k guarantee every Sunday with 250 players in it, I'm moving to NJ temporarily. I'd rather see it blow up tho with a ton of player traffic.

I went with the steps, but it was a hard choice. Did well tonight though and think it was the right choice.

Yes, HU in general would be a great addition - I could even live with zoom.

Not sure I understand the hate for heads up from a couple of you - if we are looking to play 'poker' I believe that heads up is 'poker' in its purest form. If you want to nit it up and play 15 tables of 6-max, that will always be available. That game caters to some and heads up caters to others; so I don't see why there shouldn't be heads up tables for those of us who still enjoy a real battle.

I agree with you, I tend to view this issue from the point of view of: "why can't we have it all". I dont see there being much of a downside to having options for every type of player.
03-17-2016 , 01:37 AM
For anyone asking about the bonus, I emailed support about 5PM and received a response along with my $50 bonus and freeroll ticket at 11:25PM

Looks ok. Would like some more turbos, and a few more superturbos. Maybe they will add them as the weeks go on? Also could easily increase these guarantees on these tourneys by 2x or 3x
03-17-2016 , 03:01 AM
I completely agree about the tournament schedule. The guarantees are way too small. I see there's a $10 dollar turbo with a $1k guarantee and a $50 dollar one with the same guarantee. Why? I don't see any rebuy tournaments on here either. Every night WSOP has a $30 rebuy tournament with a $10k guarantee that always fills and a $10 rebuy $5k guaranteed that also always fills. If you build it... they will come. Put in some rebuy tournaments and up the guarantees. I expected PokerStars to put up a tournaments schedule way better then both WSOP and Party. I do like the 10k starting stacks though in many of the tournaments.
03-17-2016 , 03:07 AM
Would love to see HU added in a Zoom only format so +1 to that
03-17-2016 , 03:29 AM
Would like to see some turbo Mtts added from the 5pm-8pm Monday-Friday timeframe. Perhaps a $15 turbo at 5pm with a $1k guarantee. A $20 turbo at 6pm with a $2k guarantee. And a $25 turbo at 7pm with a $2k guarantee. I guarantee you that these guarantees will be met every day, people will love these. You can even make them reentries with 10k starting stack and 5min blind levels. Would also like to see a $7500gtd $10rebuy starting at 8pm. Also there is room for a few superturbo Mtts to end the night, from like the 1130pm-2am timeframe. Perhaps an 1130pm $15 superturbo with $750gtd, a midnight madness $20 superturbo with $1k guaranteed, and a 1230am $10 superturbo with $500 guarantee. Please add these, Tyty!
