Does anyone think that they're going to have a difficult time hitting the 500k GTD for the MI Classic because it's Easter? I'll bet there is going to be some large satellites for it that also might overlay to compensate. Thoughts?

Yes.

Got into the Michigan Classic from the $30 satellite. 4 handed there was a 3 way all in (without me) where the big stack knocked the other two out to give us the two seats. Easy game!

Your HM2/3 license allows you to install and use the software concurrently on two computers owned and used by you.

p.s. This thread has nothing to do with Holdem Manager. Holdem Manager questions should go in the Holdem Manager Support thread.

This is the second time this has happened to me. The basketball and blackjack challenge shows up in my challenges. I opt in, play my $10 of bj, go back to my challenges to see what I've won, and the screen won't load. I reboot the app, and when I go back in, that challenge is gone.

Edit: it looks like I was credited the $5 bonus, so it's all good.

Still better than betMGM software though.

Is Michigan Stars compatible with Apple Laptops (MacBook Pro)? Anyone multi-tabling efficiently with a MAC? Thank you.

My laptop hasn't been updated in years since it has been turned off and I never use it. I can't install the software. It keeps trying to install through the windows store and will not allow me I guess to install from a third party. Highly annoying. I tried updating to Windows 10, but that update has been going on for about 10 hours. I haven't used the computer in about 5 years.

Pretty unbelievable how the software got so much worse in 10 years. And Stars owns the FTP software too.

Windows did upgrade me, but the computer was upgraded to a free version of Windows which is essentially worthless. It will only allow you to use apps from the Windows store. Apparently Windows is no longer free, or the version I had a few years ago expired. I upgraded to Pro for $100 and expect to have full functionality.

Well son of a b****. That didn't work. I still can't get out of S mode even though I have the windows 10 pro version.

Right. Stars is objectively the best software I've used since ,well, the last time I used Stars pre-BF. I'm comparing it ACR, Ignition,
and other sites I've seen streamed like GG, etc.

I'm in a similar situation. I don't really get why they had this start at 5:00 pm. We're all in Michigan, not like there's different timezones to consider. Are they expecting everyone to do Easter lunch/brunch?

You Michigan players should consider yourselves lucky because that $500k tourney you guys have tomorrow is way better than anything we ever get on wsop.com and our player pool combines two states, Nevada & New Jersey

I am now disconnecting for a microsecond whenever going on break in a tournament and having all my player notes erased. At this point I think they put this "bug" in on purpose to protect the fish, my notes are scarily autistic in their detail and player profiling. Now all my hard work is lost forever, like tears in the rain.
