Why is it that, when a guy disconnects from a spin and go, he doesn't automatically sit out after he times out of the hand?

Also, what's the best tracking software/HUD for PSNJ iyo?

To allow people who disconnect to reconnect? They give him 60 seconds, then 30 seconds, then 15 seconds, and then they sit out the rest of the spin. It's a very good feature in my opinion, and they even pause the clock so as to not destroy the structure.

Fair enough I suppose. The guy I was playing with still got 10 seconds before folding his hand each time (after the 60-30-15), so I guess I was upset that I had to wait so freaking long when I had signed up for a fast-moving tourney. I think the 60-30-15 is fine, but that's more than enough time to give the guy to reconnect. If he's just gonna bounce, then let's get it over with.

This was also a $2 spin with a $4 prize pool. If you're playing for the big jackpot, I can see the argument for continuing to delay as long as possible.

Given that I care about the health of the economy/the success of the site more than an additional couple bucks in EV a week, yes.

This will be fixed next week by shortening the late registration period by an hour.

Thanks for flagging, typo will be fixed and broken link is being looked into.

I don't believe that's an option and you'll get a "You're already logged in another device" message.


There is a known issue some users are experiencing with geolocation. We are prioritizing the fix and we expect to be resolved this week. If I have an update I'll share it here. Apologies for the inconvenience in the meantime.

Not sure I understand your Omaha SNG structure at all -- why only heads up PLO and no PLO8 at all? Can we get some regular 6-max PLO and PLO8?

And why is the highest limit of PLO8 available only $1/$2?

To update those interested in VIP status thing: Support was able to look back to pre black friday and apply supernova status to my account within 24hr. Pretty cool of them to honor it from 5 years ago. Definitely shoot them an email about it if you played on FTP or PS previously. I think black card status on FTP equates to being able to get SN on PS NJ.

Heads up cash the purest form of poker is not being offered. We have a small player pool the problems that face ROW site will not translate to NJ. Can you please acknowledge this Dylan and bring this up as a major issue. Being able to battle 1 other player for hours and figure out thier tendencies is the greatest example of a skill game in the world of poker. I implore other players to email pokerstars. Please pm me for a standardized email to send. I also will try to tackle this issue with the njdge.org to get this form of poker standardized across regulated sites.

I have sinced emailed 888 and wsop. Wsop seemed responsive, but 888 has not.

The rake and odds are correct, but there was an oversight on the webpage that has now been fixed. The webpage had stated that "In addition to the first-place prize, the second and third-place finishers will also receive 10% of the first place” This is true for the highest jackpot multiplier, but for lower-tier jackpots 2nd and 3rd place split 8% (not 10%) of the prizepool.

Here's the calculation I was given for PokerStars NJ Spin & Gos:



With 93% going to the prize-pool, consequently 7% is raked.

Let me know if that clears things up.

I believe I acknowledged your feedback, but yes, we are aware that there are players who would like us to offer heads-up cash games. At this time we have decided not to offer them.

This is simply not true at all. Heads up games on party/borgata are massively broken. They lobbies are filled with bumbunting regs who refuse to play anyone but big fish. The games are a big drain on the economy with essentially 0 upside

Also, heads up does exist in the form of sngs on stars

Has anyone got the chips from the store? Good quality? Worth the starcoin?

Any discussions on raising the stakes for the limit and mixed games?

If we don't get the VPP points for these, so be it. Just want to play. At least that's my perspective

+1

also lol at njdge putting pressure on pokerstars or any other site to offer any particular game. they may say no you cant offer that game but thats about it.

Who are you or a website to decide where a player wants to play. Offer the games and let's see what happeneds. Yeah spinngoes and casino games are great for the economy???? Whats the upside for those games gags? Why isn't there a campaign to get rid of them? This is a rich US state your net depositing players will still be there. Offer the games people want full ring and heads up.

Don't worry about it players will still play your mtt tourneys too.

Thanks Dylan,

The stated rake amount now agrees with the rake calculated from the corrected payout table (7%). Glad to hear it was just a slight glitch in the website table, meaning the actual prizes awarded were correct.

Best,
Max

What does this actually mean?

LOL like from rounders u play the player not the cards. Not sure why I gotta explain that.

Standardize poker offerings should be regulated. The site should just provide the arena like in any other sport. Differnce in a skill game vs a casino game.

Obviously he is taking about the poker economy. It limits bum hunting and that is a good thing for the poker economy. Why don't you just play full ring instead?

It means I want to bumhunt

Not sure if table selection is that bad, it is serious problem on ROW sites do to Eastern European and Russian players that have no better way of making good money, and also probably insta cashout. I for one would grow my roll heads up then take shots at big tournaments (which I admit I'm not really good at) which are fun for me too.

Dylan - can you please update on the sound issue being caused by Pokerstars client?

I am running Windows 7.
Sound would go completely dead after about 30 mins of play.
Disabling and enabling the sound device doesn't work.
I requires a complete reboot.
