Stars' approval is great for online players...Marketing 101: competition compels a better product or those who fall behind go out of business...so 888, WSOP, Borgata and Party are now forced to improve what they offer or shut down...

and how about what this does for the city itself?...let's not forget that Stars has been waiting for this approval to build their live room at Resorts...once that opens, Resorts becomes by far the biggest on the boardwalk...Borgata has nothing to be concerned about right now and will certainly rule the live market for the foreseeable future, but they will definitely be looking in their rear-view mirror as Stars builds a player base on the beach...there is no down-side to any of this...

New question. Will players in new jersey be able to make transfers with players out of usa?

You apparently believe that the poker community consists solely of pros, and also appear to know little about the Northeast. For part time earners, recs, newbies and fish, Stars has brand clout and will be a welcome addition to the NJ market. For Philly, Delaware, and NYC resident players, Sunday will have the potential to become a day to cross the border and grind on Stars.

Stars/FT honouring the historic points of NJ players would be the best marketing tool they could ever come up with.

I hope for the sake of US players that they realise that.

Similar question that probably is unknown at this time but worth a try.... as someone who has researched moving to various countries to play internationally, one of the difficulties in some countries (e.g. Colombia) is obtaining a bank account to get money on stars.

Say you make a New Jersey Pokerstars account from some other US state and deposit into the account while never entering New Jersey (which I understand you don't need to be located inside New Jersey to deposit/withdrawal), then can you basically open the international client in Canada/Mexico or whatever and have money already in your account and be able to play immediately?

He doesn't play online anymore and hasn't in many years, his opinion on the subject is worthless.

P2P tranfers were specifically banned when NJ passed online gambling, and cannot even be made between players within the state.

Lol. Very little huh? How about a US govt mandate? There are big regulatory and tax considerations/hurdles when talking about opening US regulated poker to ROW. I think it's possible there could be a US only poker stars and separate ROW pool. And I would be 100% ok with that.

Then all you foreign **** talkers can cheat and steal each other's pennies (I know it's not most but there are some major **** talkers) while the US poker economy booms.

The geolocation issue is still a significant challenge for internet poker in much of NJ. But if any company can find a solution (such as direct internet connections), Pokerstars would be the one.

Or ROW players have experienced segregated markets. The smaller a site gets the worse it gets. Global pokerstars gets worse every time somebody leaves (US, france, italy, spain, portugal, etc) and the .fr sites that I was allowed to play on went from awesome at first to worse and worse as of late. And those have a player pool shared between half of europe.

A playerpool shared between the whole US would be good too, at least that site wouldn't suck and die off super quickly. It'd still be awesome to have a global site though, just like I want all the european countries back. Players attract more players, shattering records for tournament fields attracts players. Part of the decrease in poker growth/decline in the past years is all the legalization BS.

Ive heard others from DE say the same thing about seeing NJ stuff, however, oddly enough there has been very little here. Its been well talked about and im sure you can find it with some searches. People here are not at all aware, about poker at least, I can guarantee you that.

How long before someone sets up rental devices located in NJ for remote control

lmfao

lmfao +infinity

glad stars is back but stars is not the same company anymore. i just hope cause party/888 to step their games up and at least get their sh*t somewhat together

nj does need to merge player pools with another state. but nj allows huds , NV doesnt so one of them will have to flip. or a new state that allows huds merges with nj

pretty much. many people dont realize just how much the row stars has changed.

Finally.

I had just about given up on this.

FINALLY.

thats crazy ive seen/heard very few ads in nj about our online gaming. most of them have been off hours late at night

some similarity. Québec have a population of 7,8M. on our state poker site (merge with BC playerpool) we are able to have a 100K tournament 320$ buyin every 3 or 4 months. 1h am at the moment and there's 590 players online. 4 tables of nl200, 1 tables of nl400. 300 players in a 25$ freeroll.

that state poker site sucks btw. surely stars have more reg from québec.

pretty rare seing someone calling a 3bet pre nowaday on micro stars. pretty sure a ton of them fold AK, JJ facing a 3bet. pretty sad actually.

Sounds like a 3 bet is pretty profitable then.

Don't think that's possible due to certain security measures but I could be wrong.

of course. but you know, when you get AA you want a call. its kinda annoying. and dont tell me to just flat call. their strategy is mostly set mining. you cant begin to fold AA at nl2 everytime a chromestar decide to raise on a safe board.

overall, nl2 fullring is nitty af. its not supposed to be like this. its supposed to be full of bronzestars. atm, its full of silverstars and even few goldstars.

most of them are from 3th world country obv. very few canadians are nl2 reg.

What about Texas?

Here's to hoping for US poker stars and ROW stars.

what comes first, nj being in the same player pool as the rest of the world or another us state approving stars (nevada)?
