Lol that's sad, i can't believe a big company like pokerstars can suck so bad at setting their own deadlines

sigh. it's called 'creating hype'.

and by the length of this thread, they have succeeded

Quote:

why can't they just give a clear and fix date? is it soooo complicated? they should not announce it when then haven't even finished it...

they should hire you as marketing co-ordinator IMO

Seriously, when it's released it's here forever. Personally I don't want it until it's perfect, it won't be good if recreational players dump it because of some random bug or server load can't be supported adequately. Hopefully there will be a ton of redundancy added because there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of redundancy in Stars' servers - occasional stumbles during very high traffic periods are common.

This is what Pt4 is doing as well. Work out all the bugs and get it right. I am a little surprised that the programmers at fulltilt where able to get rush mobile out so quick. It makes is seem like stars is slow but when you look at other poker clients on the market they are not slow by any means.

Wheres Stars said it will come in 1st ?
Well they said early, and they can change dates untill it got perfect.
Well who dont like that true, can sit back to wait rush on FTP.

[All employees] WTF!!?? We could make millions of dollars from ZOOM in those 3 weeks!

[Isai] You are wrong. It's been 10 days since Feeding Frenzy got paid, he is obviously busto. We must delay the release until he can afford to deposit and lose $50.......

Sick read bruh

Ah youre right Mr Troll. Multi billion dollar companies never strategically plan when to market and release new products, they just close their eyes and point at the calendar.

I guess its just coincidence that student travel companies up their marketing around times students get paid their loans.

Trolls gonna troll.

No. Pretty sure it was max 90 seconds. And you would gain time in your time bank back to 90 seconds a couple of seconds every hour or so back to the maximum of 90 seconds. I'm pretty sure it didn't activate preflop unless you had a raise or something in.

his point, if you weren't so thick to see it, was not that they did not strategically plan the release of zoom. his point was that your assessment of the trigger was wrong.

which it is. the extra rake they would make with even 5 days of zoom by far crushes any advantage they would get by waiting until ppl get paid.

if anything, those ppl that haven't gotten paid yet will be even more giddy with anticipation, bc they WANT to play zoom but they CAN'T. something u can't have is always better.

looks like this is turning into a "are we there yetttt...." thread.

anyway, a couple of questions 1>was there any good vids made specifically for rush plo/nl.
2>conventional wisdom is that rush shaved about 2/3 bb/100 off your normal winrate. but are there any beat/brag stories out there -- like a brag about somebody beating rush +2bb/100 over normal tables or beat about somebody losing -5bb/100 over normal tables. sample size should be over 100k+ for any relevance obviously...

For like 30 seconds i thought it was released.
Accidentally clicked on the test clients icon.
Very disappointed now. Like a huge cooler.

Thank you for your email.

PokerStars is developing a fast moving ring games product. We expect it to be available for public beta testing in early March 2012.

At this stage we cannot provide more details, but stay tuned for more news!

Got this from support

Obviously more than one strategic factor will influence their decision to release it officially.

Your logic of extra rake over 5 days > avantages of waiting is ******ed. Based on this they would have released it ages ago, there arent any major bugs in the play money client that anyone has stated, so why not release it a day after that came out? OMFG EXTRA 7 DAYS RAKE FOR USS!!!
