Great Job!!! Congrats!!!

Congrats gags. Go be a live pro

At 9:30 tonight there was a $15 HyperSat Supersonic satellite into a $75 buy in that starts at 10:00. Is there any way to make this tournament not have a break at 9:55?

:-) thanks guys, appreciate it!

Yes nice job sir! It was nice being there doing a live sweat but it sucked that the video crew was off for the day no stream to save

Well played and good luck the rest of the series.

Hey guys, first 2p2 post. Been lurking for a few months but figured since I was going to start grinding PSNJ daily that I should be here to atleast comment on stuff and give feedback! GLGL all, and congrats Gags!

I did have a question for Dylan though: Do you think there will be another series similar to NJSCOOP coming to PSNJ? NJWCOOP / NJMicromillions being some obvious choices. Really enjoyed the daily PSNJ activity during NJSCOOP (I assume most people did).

Thanks!

Need another promo like the puzzle...

yeah those 10nlh Zoom games died after that card hunt promo ended huh?

I don't have specific details to share, but yes, you can expect some of our feature series to continue to make their way to PokerStars NJ similar to this year's NJ SCOOP.

Regards,
Dylan

Got my new poker stars tee shirt today. 12 days from order to in hands. It's cool cause I emailed them asking for them to offer t-shirts as it is the summer after all, and there were some copyright distribution logo issues, but now they have them.

Also, if you are normally a medium, order a large, and if a large, order an xl etc. runs small.

Pokerstars NJ question-

I would like to see more mixed games for daily tournaments and extend levels on them a little like on daily stud. Its like playing a slot machine and not poker. How do I get others to voice input as well if they feel the same.

1) Am aware most tournaments are designed to move fast pace.However mixed games are hard to come by in the daily or not seen at all. I am only looking for blind levels in the 15 or 20 minute levels nothing more.

2) Fast pace NLH makes sense cause there are so many to choose from. I like to play poker not complete now I need to push or fold constantly.

Thanks for any helpful response

To be honest, I don't like the puzzle, I think. I'm not entirely sure what it is. I don't want to have to go click on stuff and figure out how it works. I remember this, 8 years ago other people saying this. Now I get it.

I only have so much time to play poker now. I don't want complicated promos that I have to spend a half hour reading to figure out how to use. Can't they just be simple?

Or, at the least, even if they need to be more complicated, can they just be automatic so I don't have to do anything or opt in or whatever? I would rather log in and play and start contributing rake immediately than having to feel like I'm a sucker if I don't every day first check the site and look at every menu on the site to try to see if there are any promos or bonuses to figure out.

Maybe they are already automatic on Stars, I don't know. I know they definitely are NOT on other NJ sites.

But other NJ sites have some simple stuff with the most simple thing probably being match deposit/re-load bonuses. I know how that works.

*End old man rant. I'm about to turn 31 btw, so it isn't really that old.

+1
I agree, why do you have to click "start" button to opt into any promo, you know what i am playing and contributing so give me the ticket or whatever when i complete the challenge or make it like borgata/party do, take me to the screen when i log in to opt in

Disagree with above 2 posters.

1) I don't think the promo can be any simpler. Win cash game hands with those cards, win money. It took me all of 10 seconds to understand.

2) I have no problem with having to click start. They even have a red symbol pop up to let you know it's available. I worked at a pizza place when I was younger. When we had a coupon that got you a free pizza or something, the customer had to ask for the deal. Otherwise we're just giving away free stuff and our promo isn't actually attracting people to our business. Same idea here. The promo is supposed to bring in business. It isn't there to give money away completely for free.

Adding to Redsoxnets5's comment: It's a minor requirement. It makes it easier for them to measure what % of active users are actually noticing the promotions & who exactly are those people. Helps them design future promotions. PokerStars want increased engagement it's good business sense.

At least you haven't got to be logged in for the final freeroll all-in shootout extravaganza if it's like the last one Pokerstars ran. Some other sites would have you sitting out if you weren't logged in - imagine the complaints & niggles if that was the setup

Agreed, you couldn't make it much easier.

It brought in a lot of players that don't normally play cash and created a ton of action where people were trying to finish their puzzle.

Just did the "pay near me" deposit at 7-11 for the first time. How long does it take for deposits to show up?

Edit: nevermind it took about 3 minutes

I'm flying out to NJ for 5 days for the 4th. What is the easiest way to deposit? Is there any limit on withdrawal if I want to cash out before I fly home? Thanks.

I'm from out of NJ as well and travel there to play myself. I opened up the pokserstarscard as an easy way to deposit withdraw. I believe its a contract with discover but not 100% on that.

You can link that card to a bank account or use credit/debit cards. The deposits are immediate at least for me it is. When you withdraw you need to have a bank account linked to that pokerstarscard to get it off the card. The card does work as a cash card though.
