Instructions for railing Pokerstars in the US

Stars have been banning accounts for hiding your location, so don't do this if you have money on there.



Posting hands

Please use the following options for converting hands:

Preferred by most: http://www.handconverter.com.

Set to "Two Plus Two Forums" output, "Use player names" and "Show results". You can convert multiple hand histories at once, but please try to separate them once pasted into your reply for ease of reading (e.g type a between hands).

How to capture Stars hand histories:

On the Stars table click the "previous hand" link on the top left, which brings up the hand history box. Click the hand you want to post, Ctrl+A to select, Ctrl+C to copy. Bring up the converter tab in your browser, Ctrl+A/Ctrl+V on the left hand box to paste the new hh. Click the "Convert" button. Ctrl+A/Ctrl+C on the right hand box to copy the converted hand, Ctrl+V into the quick reply box on here.

We generally post ~200bb+ pots, but if there's an interesting hand/showdown, or if there's not much action feel free to post smaller ones.

If that converter is down (happens occasionally): http://www.pokerconverter.com.

Set to "Show all names", "2+2 Forums" output and tick "Show results". You need to reset this converter after every hand.

I use this converter for NL hands, to make them easily distinguishable from PLO hands.



Grabbing Partypoker hand histories

A free Partypoker hand grabber is located here: http://www.jukofyork.com/freephg.htm.

It imports hands straight into your HEM, so you can post hands/EV graphs. The thread is here if you have any problems: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/16...-available-118.



Posting screenshots

Hyperdesktop is a fantastic app for capturing screenshots and auto-uploading them. It gives you the link to post here, no need to even visit the hosting site.

Biggest pot of 2011:

Happy new year kids! also, great work as always villagio

I think it is safe to add former warcraft player Davin "mTw-DaviN" Georgi in the high stakes reg list.
Some one pointed it out last month and google confirms.
Cheers

Jens Kyllonen plays under the radar but is a huge winner both on PS and FTP.

384k sample with 1,5m profit, i'd say random fish, without any clue, just getting lucky and heating alot.

Vil great job as always

Yeah, I thought I'd added him. Mustn't have saved it after I edited. Thanks.

Ah here it is, saved it on the wrong file:

mTw-DaviN = Davin Georgi Gosu profile

fully endorse both these messages.

hope both my grind is better and high stakes action keeps up too!

wow @ isildur. he self excluded for 3 full months, often didn´t play for weeks and still played twice as many hands as the 2nd/3rd biggest grinders. pretty sick.

Gus managed to have a winnning year! It's been a few years since he's done that online & he managed that in 4 months lol.

"winning year" is kind of an understatement

If all his other years ended in the first 3-4 months he'd be one of the biggest winners in online poker so it kind of worked out well this time.

So RaiseOnce is Phil Ivey?

the king has arrived.



...long is in and the barcode guy as well but only 1tbl running atm. let's see how much monies isi has cashed out this time...could be around 350.

2tbls now
