1. Murdahc has been a little... confrontational(?) with the plo8 sngs but really i dont see what it hurts PSNJ to add them. If anything maybe some low dollar buyin plo8 sngs might help get PLO8 cash running more and higher. I only see 2plo8 running (usually 1 table) and very rarely 10plo8.

unlike the guy that was obsessing about adding HUNL i dont see any valid reasons why PS wouldnt add PLO8 sngs or why it would hurt the ecosystem (like HUNL would/does).



2. speaking of 2plo8 and to take the opposite POV of the guy earlier wanting PS to add PLO 5$ i wish PS would get rid of all pl/nl stakes below 10plo/nl. force people to play at 10+ and maybe get more tables running. maybe those 2/4/5 plo/nlh players would just play else where but MAYBE they would play higher?

3. im bummed out PS hasnt added a stud8 or 8 game mtt yet. there should be like a daily 5$ and maybe 20$ish? or at least something on the weekend.

And i wish they would offer more/and better sats to 50+$ mtts.

4. @PSDYLAN I still cant seem to find a way to change my echeck info to another bank account. not critical right now but i would like to have the ability to change if needed. right now the bank account/routing number is greyed out and wont let me change any info. so am i never allowed to use another bank account besides the first one i used echeck with?

5. This PSNJ spin n go promo has back fired on me. i never want to play spins again. **** spins. which is weird bc ive played tons of hu hypers on Party and enjoyed them but again.... **** spin n gos.

I had this issue. I emailed support asking them to delete my bank info so I could use a different account. It was done in less than an hour.

Thank you for your email.

I am very sorry to hear that your player notes are not saving properly in our software.

In order to assist you in trying to fix this problem, allow us to provide you with some basic suggestions.

First ensure you are properly closing PokerStars when you finish your session, as the notes are saved to disk only when the PokerStars software shuts down.

Also please be aware that notes are saved locally in your computer, not in our servers. So if you move from one computer to another, the notes will not move with you. We can provide you more details on how to move notes from one computer to another, if required.

Now, if your notes do not save despite shutting down the PokerStars application normally, please try to change the folder destination for the notes file.

It is possible that the folder where you are trying to save the notes by default is write protected (for example the "Program Files" folder is often protected).

To fix this, simply go to "Settings" -> "Gameplay" -> "Player Notes" and click on "Change Folder...". Then set the folder to "My Documents" or similar folder outside of the Program Files folder or the AppData folder.

This will create a copy of the file into the new destination and will continue saving the changes to that destination file.

However, if changing the file location to your Documents folder does not do the trick, it is possible that your file has become corrupt.

After trying out the above suggestion and ensuring that the notes are still not saving, we need to have you provide us with your "notes.user.xml" (where 'user' is your user ID) files found in the PokerStars settings folder, in order to assess this issue.

Here are the steps to do this:

1. Open the PokerStars software main lobby
2. Click on "Help" -> "Open My Settings Folder" (this will open the previous folder location that stores your notes file)
3. Locate "notes.user.xml"
4. Attach the files to an email and send to us for review

Please let us know if any of these steps are unclear or you have troubles locating the correct file. Once we have the file, one of our Technical Specialist will review it and provide you with additional suggestions on how to get the notes functionality working properly again for you.

Should you have any additional questions, please do let us know.

Regards,
Marika S
Pokerstars New Jersey Support
Reached out to support this is their response hopefully it helps others as well. Trying the specific folder they recommend if that doesnt work will send in the logs. I log out by closing the client with x button. Heres the steps to reproduce i sent them.

1.Logged in and realized my notes and player tags had been deleted again.
2. Set up 5 new tags each with their own colors.
3. Opened up 4 tables of 100nl tagged each player at the table with their respected color and played for about 45 mins.
4.During playing time i made a few notes on select players.
5.I left the tables and closed out of the client to have lunch.
6.About 20-30 mins later i returned and logged into the client only to find my tags and notes had been deleted.

So basically normal stuff lol. Will update if i still have issues and if i have to send them a note file.

Yup. And if it's like their 5k christmas bonus, it will be given to a contracted team pro.
04-24-2016 , 07:01 PM
So the 100K freeroll is in the money, with late registration still open for another hour. Are reentries still allowed? Can we win money more than once? Will they pay more than 1170 players? Anyone been in this type of situation before?
04-24-2016 , 08:24 PM
Push/fold my 3 entries during late registration already in the money. Weeeeee

thats good to know. thanks for the info.


hey congrats cardriverx on the nice score.
04-25-2016 , 03:42 AM
I wish I had realized you could cash multiple times, I'd have cashed 3 times. I'll happily take the two cashes though... Easy money. What a great tournament.... and before anyone says "Yeah, but the structure sucked", the structure sucking helped most people cash 2 or 3 times.

Tickets to the Run It UP/VIP Club Live activities will be in the store until 48 hours before the party. We will also be running a StarsCoin satellite on May 7 with tickets and VIP Packages guaranteed for players who miss out on winning one in the May 1 tournament.

I have never had any issues with other NJ sites, so I wanted to pass the info along. I know at least some others are having the problem. Would PS try to get to the bottom of it, please? Thanks!
The next time this happens, if you could send Support your log files within 24 hours of the disconnect with a description of the issue, that would be really helpful. There seem to be a few sporadic reports of these disconnects but I don't believe we've gotten to the crux of the issue yet, so log files would help.

If you need info on how to send log files, let me know.

Unlikely . As Gags mentioned in order to play in ROW events, you need to not only physically be there, but also relocate and provide documentation of your new address to verify your account.

Dylan

Buy a ticket to the VIP Club Live party on May 14! (or play in some upcoming StarsCoin satellites to it).

Otherwise, StarsCoin have a fixed value of $0.01 so you can't go wrong with Cash Rebates or Tournament Tickets.

Dylan

Every site that is open in NJ to NJ residence only he can do this. If he is playing on WPN/ARC he can add this also. The only exception is Bovada. That was the reason I suggested it.

Cash games were good while this was running after the money bubble. Players where buying in there min cash then donating it to the table. It was all good imo.

Would anyone else like to see some cash game tables with antes? Still waiting on 5 card plo =)

games with antes would be great.

i think the big concern with different types of the same cash game is still just liquidity. for example, if they added 2/5 and also 2/5 with an ante, then it's likely that one of those game types would not run very often.



i still would prefer seeing zoom over anything else at this point though. zoom cash for 1/2 2/5 and 5/10 could work extremely well
04-25-2016 , 12:04 PM
deposited for "FREE50" promo deal, received $10 spin ticket and $20 cash within the specified timeframe, but have yet to receive the final $20 even though it's been seven days since the initial deposit was made (which is the time frame specified in the terms of the promotion)

Sent support an inquiry through the poker software to no avail

How would the Sopranos of leveraged Pokerstars NJ to their advantage? Multi accounted, botted? Who would of played? I could see Tony, Christopher, Paulie and Silvio sitting at a 6 max cash table hustling a Russian...EEEOOOO

Even Tony Soprano is no match for rig-ulation imo

You never know what interest they could generate. Some of the NLHE die-hards who try it just might get hooked.

I've been saying the same thing about 5-card draw, but I haven't seen much action there. I still think a .01-.02 table or $1 tourney every now and then could possibly stir up some interest.

I've always wondered why they just don't add tables like that. Does it cost them more in bandwidth or something?

yeah and speaking of getting players "hooked" on other games i wish stars would run some game specific promos. ie "for the next month if you play game x you earn 3x points or freeroll tix or something". i know they and other sites usually just run casino promos(spins too ) but would be nice if they ran poker promos.

I don't think I need or can use HM2. The sites are bovada, seals, and starsnj.

work smarter, not harder
It takes 3 seconds to figure out how many hands you've played on bovada or seals. I was just seeing if stars had a similar feature. I'll admit figuring out starting and ending balances and hand totals and then the ultra complex calcuations of putting numerator over denominator to get wr and hands per hour occupy about 3 minutes a week of my time. It's fun though cause it's the lol accounting part of my week.

The stats obtained from hm2 will not help you in ultrashort flh, you will need to be thinking in a different direction to obtain success in that. I study by playing Cepheus every week. Cepheus is free and can teach you way more than hm2 stats. I do need to work harder though and simply need to put in more hours.

Offer reduced rake for HU/3handed played on 6max tables to incentivize starting games. In a small player pool, this should be necessary/effective.

Currently there is lower HU rake on both WSOP and Party, so if I'm going to start a game with a reg, I'm pretty much 100% going to do it on one of those sites because I like money.

Does new jersey have spin and go games? Are they littered with dataminming? Is there 1-5 people watching every game any stake?
04-25-2016 , 08:08 PM
I just updated to pokerstars 7 and lost all my previous custom labels. Is this normal?
