What are the most important specs a computer must have so that it doesn't lag when you are multi-tabling on Pokerstars? I just got a new laptop and it lags when I am playing 8 tables on 2 external monitors. Thanks

Ram and processor. 8gigs ram min, 16+ is best.

so every Wednesday I'm withdrawing $100, depositing $100, getting the $30 in free stuff. What's the downside?

Nothing, unless you have a naggy wife that wants to know what all the Stars transactions are....

but the casino bonus is terrible, right? I've played like 70 $2 bj hands, the bar is barely moved. Impossible to clear this, or is there something I'm missing?

It's been mentioned in this thread on best strategy to clear bonus, but from memory, American Roulette is the best option.

thanks, i found the post.

edit: nm.

So this was a fun hand last night.

Quick question - anyone been back to Firekeepers the past couple months? Thinking of going Saturday and am not sure how early I should get there....

lol That hand reminds me of FireKeepers, actually.

did the $100 bonus again. I deposited $100 and withdrew $100 like I always do. It only took the deposit lol.

won the $25 event tonight. weird though, 3 of us clicked even chop, then we all shoved. i won all the chips, payouts were 817,747,747. why wouldn't the payouts be even?

A certain amount of the pool is reserved to be played for, even if its an even chop. It should tell you on the tournament lobby.

huh, i feel kinda bad. i may seek out fu4eva143143 and toolegittokwit6969 and offer them the difference.

Take the extra few bucks and don't stress it. I think it's awesome you really want to be kind and chop chop....but it's impossible to do player transfers on PSMI and you'll probably be in the same situation down the road where you are on the bottom side of a chop.

Grats again. Sounds like you got lucky at the end too.

How long do you have to wait between the deposit then withdrawal? Because I withdrew like an hour later and they cancelled my withdrawal saying that after review they determined I was trying to withdraw bonus money.

Last week I tried to withdraw a few minutes later and it didn't go through. Waited until the next day and it worked. Today I waited a couple of hours and it worked.

side note, with one of my $5 spins, I played for $125! First hand, 88 in bb. Button min raises, I call. Flop q97 rainbow. Check bet call. Turn q, check bet call. River ace, check check, he has A2o. Next hand the other two players are allin with K6, 87o. I'm heads up now against the raiser first hand. Down 60-15bbs or so. Little later shoved KJhh pre into AA. gg.

I'm not huge on the spins. I will play $1 ones during boring work meetings, and I've never played for more than $5. Today was my first $5 and both were $15, and I managed to bink one. Couldn't clear the casino bonus, so now let's hope my sports bet clears. It's a nice promo though. It sounds like I should wait a day to withdraw. I can handle that.

It's an okish promo. I binked a $25 payout on a $5 spin and lost the other. Just used the freebet on the super boost tonight that probably won't hit. Also, lost my $10 casino bonus rather quickly.

I usually withdraw within a couple of hours on the $100 deposit promo the last couple of weeks and have had no issues.

The past couple weeks, I've withdrawn $100 and then just a few minutes later deposit it right back in. Has worked like a charm...but we'll see for how long. Seems too easy like mentioned before? Oh well, I'll take it

Interesting. I'd be interested in knowing the max EV strategy for a game like this, but at the same time it's such a good bonus that it's hard to screw up. The way I've been doing it is to go $10/hand for the first 4 hands, then on the final hand bet an amount that if lost would leave me down $50 if it loses (assuming no doubles/splits, I'll eat the risk on those). Today was rough as I was up $50 through 4 hands, so put $100 on the last one and busted.

I've been playing the atlantic city version which offers a surrender which makes me wonder. I am almost positive on the last hand if I get a 16 vs. a 10, it's better to hit and go for max win/max bonus, than it is to surrender and only lose $25 and get the $12.50 bonus. Either way I'm enjoying the crap out of this free EV. I can't imagine it will be around forever.

no more deposit bonus i guess...

I saw it today as an "NBA Finals Deposit Bonus" It's the same as the last couple just without the Spin 'N' Go tickets, so significantly less value, but still greater than zero.

Nothing for I. Didn't have the NBA Finals Deposit Bonus either.

I think late July, I'm going to withdraw everything from PSMI for a week and play BetMGM for the week. One of my buddies that plays global stars, says that is how he activated the rakeback challenge. Still haven't gotten it yet.
