Thats just plain awesome. Was kinda dissapointed that the video didnt last longer. Would love to see his reaction if he busted out on the FT bubble with his AA cracked or something like that

There was a 2+2 thread of someone who drew a picture of the monster supposedly operating the doomswitch, and e-mailed it to Stars. That mail exchange was pretty awesome, if I remember correctly.

Can't find the thread, of course.

Can we expect a place in the Museum with a screen-shot of a table with a 40bb-player?

Under this picture in small letters:

"Last hand of a 40bb-ratholer played on Stars, 1. July 2013"

When I saw the thread title I thought it was someone making a thread to make fun of all the old stuff in the PokerStars VIP Store!!!!

That would be a nice moment in PokerStars history, I agree with that.

" That is my child " is just a timeless classic! Love that one and I love that one CR video where they are talking about that one. I think its an MDoranD video and just the way they bring that one up and discuss it is funny as hell.

Confederate is another good one. I think I was late in the game hearing about that one, maybe a year or so ago, but funny none-the-less.

The museum is off to a good start :P

EDIT - Oh yeah and RaineTech first post in this thread is historic but that was quite the first post to kick this thread off lol, well played.

EDIT #2 - Also donniccolo, 100% agree there. They are the best thing we probably will ever have in this industry and they just keep getting better and better. Their support is top notch, their representation on this forum cannot be beat and we do not have to worry about any nonsense of cashout delays or the other things that seem to be an issue for some of "the others" out there giving the online poker world a bad name.

I am one happy customer and as long as they never remove my choice(ability) to table select, they will never lose me. I am there for life. There is no reason to go anywhere else. They have a proven track record and although it is said that past performance cannot dictate future success, I think its a safe bet that PokerStars will continue to thrive and do what is best overall for the customer and their site.

Guy that got sent to jail for threatening PokerStars support staff

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...staff-1104328/

Very hilarous stuff, because the player that was sentenced posted in the thread multiple times

Needless too say they totally ignored me and never replied to any of my emails in this period after Black Friday, which resulted in me firing off the death threat one when i was pissed!!

Fair to say they replied to that last email!! I fought the Internet and lost!!

I also never lost anywhere near the $$$ that has been reported, that figure is just the total of deposits and does not include any withdrawals made.

Happy days

Damn, I never heard about that guy before.

I mean these days who the hell knows anymore. I do not blame them for contacting the authorities but I am impressed that they actually acted on this.

Of course, thats the U.K. so not so sure it would have happened like that in the U.S.

Heck, again, maybe in this day and age it would have went down the same but the only thing that really needs to be said is:

" Wow, what a dumbass. "

I was doing some research yesterday and found that the first time they ran a $215 buy-in tourney was back in January 26, 2002, which was a Saturday and 349 players played that one with first prize close to $14k. Also, found the schedule of the first ever wcoop in 2002. The whole series had $200k gtd back then

Schedule:

Boooom:
