There will be some activities during the day at Resorts followed by the VIP Club Live party from 7:30pm onward at Landshark where we'll have the place to ourselves. If meeting your fellow PokerStars NJ rivals isn't enough to get you to come out to AC for the weekend, there will also be an open bar, food, games, and some entertainment. Last, but not least, there will be the exclusive opportunity to meet me in person if you can get past my bodyguards (Jason Somerville, Chris Moneymaker, Barry Greenstein, and other members of Team Pro will be there too...)

There are a variety of ways to get yourself a ticket, the easiest being to be a SilverStar or higher VIP and purchase a ticket in the VIP Store for 1,000 StarsCoin. All StarsCoin from ticket sales are converted to cash and donated to charity. The ticket includes entry for yourself and a guest.

There will be also be a freeroll at 17:00 ET May 1 giving away 50 pairs of tickets plus 5 VIP Packages. The VIP packages includes 2 nights accommodation at Resorts + $200 cash. We'll also be running some low buy-in StarsCoin satellites periodically with guaranteed tickets and most likely some VIP packages added.

Note that the date will not clash with NJ SCOOP.

Hope to see many of you there!

Regards,
Dylan
Will that incompetent colleague, who runs the sit n go schedule, of yours be there? How about yourself? Best believe I'm printing out the ridiculous answers I have received from you as far as adding Omaha hi/lo sit n gos are concerned.

Me: Please add Omaha hi/lo sit n go's to the lobby
Dylan: My colleague says not enough Omaha hi action going on to warrant adding omaha hi/lo
Me: You do realize pokerstars only has omaha heads up listed in the sng lobby?
Dylan: Unfortunately I don't think there's any more constructive dialogue to be had on this subject.

Nice!!! Ill see you there and buy you a drink! They are free drinks lol right!!!

Was wondering if you can buy a night at resorts thru stars coins. I really don't need two nights and am looking online now and the rooms for may 14 are $350+. I don't want to drink and drive or take a 40 minute uber home that night. Just curious if we can starscoins buy one of these vip packages or half of one (ie one night stay)

Thanks for the answers to my other questions as well that clears things up. Re:2/4 and 20/40, I don't mean marketing strategy but it forces people to play over their heads sometimes creating more action and gambol. For example you have to play a ton of 10/20 before you build a roll to play 30/60, but not much before you are taking shots at 20/40

One of my challenges for the Run it Up Promo is to play a couple hands of Zoom poker. If I decide to complete this challenge and travel to Canada or Mexico, will I even be able to sign into my ROW account with my PokerstarsNJ account? Please advise..

That is pretty steep for a hotel room. Let me look into whether we can offer a better rate via using your StarsCoin. I think something can be arranged, although I suspect there will be limited availability. I'll get back to you on this.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. If you have a ROW account and a PokerStars NJ account, you can still sign into your ROW account when you are in Canada or Mexico.

Our Sit & Go Manager can't make it, but I will be there and you're welcome to further discuss this with me in person if it will help put your mind at ease. You don't even need to print out my responses, I'll make sure I remember what we've discussed thus far.

Dylan

Any workings for VIP status/perks at the hotel/casino?
04-18-2016 , 04:26 PM
The Ultra KO Progressive Turbo has a glitch (and I think a couple other PKOs) where the prizepool initially shows up wrong. Like right now with 20 entries it's showing as 176 to first place only. Pretty sure it fixes itself but it's inaccurate for at least part of late registration.

At the moment there are no perks at Resorts for PokerStars VIP status. If that changes we will let players know.

^OK so I don't know exactly what the gltich is and it seems that paying out first place only may be intentional in this MTT but the amount to first place just went down, and 176 doens't seem accurate anyway.

It now says 143.60 to first place. This can't actually be accurate anyway since the prizepool would be 1.80*22 for 39.60, plus KOs. IDK whatsup here.


EDIT Just realized it's cuz the MTT missed the GTD prize pool.

Thanks, I'll let you know if I need a drink. Besides that, I think this matter is way above your.

Hopefully this changes one of my main gripes with the casino partnerships thus far is the lack of appreciation online players feel when they visit the connected casino considering how much rake online grinders pay in comparison to their live counterparts.

Absolutely love how Stars immediately credits you with deposit bonuses (tourney tickets). Meanwhile on 888....up to 72 hours.

i think i might have seen it itt before, but i will mention it again anyway if so. the disconnects during the spin and gos are continual. it happens to others at my tables as well, so not isolated to me. i seem to be aok at cash tables, and i don't remember any issue in the one tourney i played.
04-18-2016 , 10:05 PM
Hi Dylan. Please add every game and stake imaginable except o8 sitngo's and hunl cash
04-18-2016 , 10:50 PM
Any word on if more mixed games would be added? Omaha 8 Fixed, Stud 8, Horse? Thanks for your feedback! Can't wait to see the schedule.

They have O8 and Stud 8 already, and though they don't have HORSE they do have 8 game (HORSE plus 2-7 TD, NLHE and PLO)
04-19-2016 , 11:09 AM
I saw PLO 8 and Stud High on initial schedule, no Stud 8 or Fixed Omaha 8
04-19-2016 , 02:23 PM
Oh you meant for the SCOOP. Nevermind.

5 Card Omaha tables are finally open!! Why don't they open the 5 card o/8 and courchevel games, just to let people try them out...no sense of having the label up and no tables to sit at...
