I hope this is going to hurt them and hurt them good. They must pay all the players out of their own pocket if they want to save any face.

Romanians stealing other peoples money, what else is new. Wouldn't have expected it from Belgians though.

the fact that they waited one hour before pausing all tourneys is totally unacceptable. Thank god there were no romanian/belgium players at my table when this happened.

More whats strange, now when they are up again, all tourneys are full and there wont be any overlays.

Simillar thing to this happened this summer on friday there was like hour or so that you couldnt play, then i started regging all tourneys becuase i was sure there will be overlay.
But somehow they crushed all prizepools, bigger than saturday and biger than previous friday.

And there were so many unknowns, mostly i know a lot of players that are playing regular tourneys.

There must be something fishy going on

guys i can find ONLY 2 solutions:

1) to resume the tournaments from the time we crashed (i think is impossible)

2) pokerstars should PAY extremely high amount of money back to players...
that refund I got back was a JOKE...

To be fair he clearly had nothing to do with this; they at least refunded the rake to players.

Yes ... that doesn’t make it any safer...

Also can mods combine the 2 nvg threads into 1?

Just fewer donkaments to choose from so more entrants per donkament. Very simple actually.

Let people reply before you go on another rant. Apparently stars have frozen cashouts for Romanian and other unaffected players players and are in the process of sorting this out.

Guys stick to the point, are you serious about "spamming" ...?

I feel really frustrated right now, sorry about the "spamming"
but what happened was ridiculous... I cannot find words to describe how I feel.
We got robbed
